Truth about ARTPOP

[yASSsss 35,510]

Forbes-

Throughout 2013, posts in the Gaga world focused predominately on a fountain of speculation concerning feuds (Kelly Osborne, Katy Perry, Cher, Perez Hilton, Madonna, et cetera), lawsuits, and rumblings of Gaga-business ventures going awry.

As promotional materials for ARTPOP began to roll out in full, the negativity surrounding Gaga had reached a fever pitch. If a song made its way onto the internet early, it was invariably panned (Spin on applause: “Wait, why are we clapping again?”) If Gaga mentioned a “burqa”, she was swiftly disparaged. If a piece of marketing went viral, the conversation turned condescending (Idolator: “As a title, ARTPOP is about as subtle as a falling piano. Or a falling dadaist print of a piano. Whatever.”)

By the time ARTPOP dropped in November, online invective surrounding the record’s release became an unmistakable influence on the actual criticism—quickly peruse some of the reviews and you can see just how far journalists bent over backwards to mention everything else before the music.

There are many reasons why the album’s negative reputation persists, both fair and unfair. Of the former reasons: ARTPOP failed to sell — both in its debut week and overall — as much as its predecessors.There were other factors too (endless comparisons to Katy Perry’s Prism and Miley Cyrus’ Bangerz, for instance), and eventually all of these things cohered into a black cloud that overshadowed everything the album and the era had to offer.  Its legacy tainted from the get-go, ARTPOP was never given a real chance to prove itself.

ARTPOP is an album bursting with ideas, some of them brilliant and some only half-formed. Within the confines of 15 songs, Gaga addresses topics as disparate as sexual assault (“Swine”), the artistic process (“ARTPOP”), gender roles (“G.U.Y.”), class satire (“Donatella”), and addiction (“Dope”). No one idea is explored too thoroughly, but they are there: actual ideas, points-of-view. And ultimately, those ideas — that ambition — is what sets Gaga apart from her peers.

So no, it’s not a perfect album. It is no The Fame Monster. It’s not as cohesive as Born This Way. It may not be fully-realized, but it is ambitious. It is fun. It is, occasionally, both funny and sexy. It is a good album that suffered under the weighty expectations placed upon its maker’s shoulders. It is better than most of us remember.

I’d rather support an artist who swings and misses, one who is so clearly passionate about her own ideas (even the ones she can’t properly articulate), than one who plays it safe, who works with only the goal of creating a hit in mind. And so, for all of its failures and its damaged legacy, I would argue that ARTPOP is a success. It was a blank canvas upon which Gaga projected her varied, impressionistic ideas. She hoped her fans would do the same and fill in some of the blanks she left along the way. Some of them did. Others weren’t feeling it. It’s fine not to like the album, to find it inferior to her previous works. It’s just not accurate to dismiss it as a total creative and commercial failure.Two years later, the least we can do is acknowledge it as more than what her detractors wanted us to believe it was. At the very least, people should stop using it as an excuse to count Gaga out.She’s not out. She’s only just beginning, a blank canvas once again.

I wonder who they mean 

 

But its kinda weird to see everyone supporting Gaga again after all that happend during ARTPOP.

Let's hope this vibe continues well into the LG5 era

why are you still obsessed with ARTPOP's success, sales, critical response and all those stuffs??? guys it's 2016 not 2013/2014... let ARTPOP era rest in peace.... The Fame/Monster, Born This way were albums that (nearly) everyone bought and liked, and ARTPOP got a success just from little monster. THE END

comments like this are so dumb

What else would we talk about? We can only move on from AP once LG5 comes and takes it's place, as of now it's still the last interesting era Gaga had, because let's not act like the C2C or AHS eras were such eventful thrill rides.
