Those alone justified it's pop status. They mean within the fanbase its underrated, which it is. How often do you see people talking about it? The Fame is a brilliant pop album, much better than ARTPOP imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
super ultra 878 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 The mainstream part of me is screaming TF but my artistic one is yelling ARTPOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LePetitGAGABLover 21,234 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Musically, The Fame. But visually, by miles ARTPOP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VforVendetta 2,024 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Both albums have huge highlights and many other cohesive tracks. TF: PokerFace, Paparazzi, LoveGame, Just Dance, Beautiful Dirty Rich, The Fame, Paper Gangsta, I Like It Rough, Disco Heaven, Brown Eyes ARTPOP: Applause, Venus, ARTPOP, Mary Jane Holland, Gypsy, Sexxx Dreams, Dope, Do What U Want, G.U.Y, Fashion! Yet when it comes to the rest of the album's body, ARTPOP is much more interesting and cohesive imo. Most of the other tracks of TF feel like fillers to me (when it comes to their sound and not their themes)... So ARTPOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noir 17,259 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 The Fame. Most of it is still fresh sounding to me which is pretty amazing when ARTPOP came afterwards only three years ago and most of feels tiresome now apart from DWUW. DWUW remains one of her best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFXSoul91 1,098 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 For the first year or so after ARTPOP, I relentlessly defended it and thought it was my second favorite Gaga album. However, even though it's newer, it hasn't aged as well as The Fame. Looking back, I actually think The Fame is more cohesive, artistic, and fun than ARTPOP.

socotra 3,310 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 If I had to personify each album, ARTPOP to me is an explosion and The Fame is a beautiful dress. TF is much more elegant and adheres to a central design, but ARTPOP is crazy and loud and colorful. The Fame's first seven songs are killer and some of Gaga's best. The last seven songs are, bluntly, filler. They're quality songs, but they lack the catchiness of Poker Face and the dance of BDR. I feel like all of the songs on The Fame are also all in a similar style – they're all (mostly) the same "color" so to speak, which is good for cohesion and uniformity because TF is kind of a concept album. ARTPOP's got a much more vibrant, erratic collection of songs that is definitely more experimental and less uniform in sound. I think that its music is definitely more mature than TF's, while also being more immature at the same time. From Jewels n Drugs to DWUW to Dope, there's all sorts of styles on ARTPOP that make it "pop" imo. I think ARTPOP is overall the real jewel in Gaga's discography, not The Fame (which is still a fantastic pop album). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWUW remains one of her best I disagree. The Fame sounds pretty aged to me. But I feel like current pop is kinda aged too. It's all oponion though. It just depends on what remains fresh in our brains haha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

djBuffoon 12,118 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 ARTPOP. I love The Fame, but the former is more compelling and substantial to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien Tulip 12,428 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 The Fame don't crack! . ARTPOP aged badly. It needs lotion and other moisturizing products. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagzus 15,852 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Well they're both tied as my second faves from her discography because imo BTW > TF = AP > C2C But I like TF more nowadays because I'm back into a more synthpop type of sound, and was hoping she'd do a modernised synthpop sound on LG5 but I doubt it tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
