At least if this thread is anything to go by. Being a great album doesn't automatically make something a masterpiece. I wouldn't say Gaga has made a masterpiece at this stage and I've loved her since 2009. I agree, although Born This Way makes it into my personal list of masterpieces, and I admit I'm totally biased because it's simply my favorite Gaga album. Of course, some of the actual "best" albums in the world are also albums I personally don't like, so when I made my list I was looking at the albums that I like and actively listen to, and then looking at those and determining which I think are truly "masterpieces." To me a "masterpiece" album (based on my own personal tastes) isn't just a good album where I can enjoy every song. It's a cohesive album, a unique album, one with great sounds and great lyrics, an album that shows knowledgeable execution of an interesting concept. A "Masterpiece" album has to go above and beyond "Wow, this is a great song!" It needs definable merit. I really enjoy Animal by Kesha, Fly by the Dixie Chicks, and The Open Door by Evanescence, but I wouldn't consider them "masterpieces," y'know?

Duella Dvil 10,584 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 The progression of True Blue and Like A Prayer tell a very emotional story and the subplots in each are wonderful. Dear Jessie to Oh Father is a subplot about her mother dying and her father spiraling into addiction. And also the way she kisses goodbye to the love not found in True Blue is beautiful. Panic at the Disco a fever You Can't Sweat Out. The lyricism on this album is wonderful really Paints the picture of decay www.instagram.com/theduella666 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sister 9,907 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Too many from Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and David Bowie, The Velvet Underground, The Cult, Iggy Pop, search all of their discography and you'll find Gold. HIM - Greatest Love Songs Vol 666 Richard Ashcroft - Alone With Everybody Lady Gaga - The Fame Monster Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence The future's uncertain and the end is always near.

A "Masterpiece" album has to go above and beyond "Wow, this is a great song!" It needs definable merit. I absolutely agree. You summed it up perfectly. It has to be a cohesive work of art with concept, experimentation and an aim towards new territory; high-quality execution, whilst required, is not enough. A masterpiece should transcend the vast majority of high-quality work and standalone, incomparable to the other works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmex 964 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 1. Ultraviolence - Lana Del Rey - Even though this album receives a decent amount of praise from people, I still feel like it's criminally underrated. It's by far her best album to date. She'll never top it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
