What is your favorite first listening experience of a Gaga album?

[PunkTheFunk 124,578]

listening to ARTPOP knowing it flopped

the fame monster for sure

[swakby 4,100]

The Fame all the way. Timeless classic

I really hope LG5 is a surprise release. I usually hear the LQ leaks and then once I get the album in my hands, it's semi anticlimactic 

I told myself I wouldn't listen to the ARTPOP leaks.... But it happened 

[Mister Gaga 22,965]

I don't remember that much about a whole album; but what i do remember and idk why, is the first time i listened Mary Jane Holland. I was completely slayed. I thought it was the best song on her discography. Idk, i was obsessed.

Now a days, i still think is one of ARTPOP's best songs, but not her best 

[Shaney 5,515]

Most definitely and by far Born This Way.

ARTPOP all the way.

I remember it like it was yesterday. We were moving when ARTPOP started leaking and the WiFi at our new place wasn't really working. Luckily I still had the keys to our old flat and still had a few days before I actually had to hand them over so I drove back to our old place and used the neighbor's WiFi to listen to ARTPOP in low quality. 

Good times.

Born This Way by far. I still remember downloading it from iTunes and listening to the songs one by one. We already had listened to snippets of some of the songs but I will never forget what I felt when Americano and Scheiße started playing.

I also had a very special first listening experience with The Fame. I went to my local music store the day it came out, it was the first edition (without Paper Gangsta), I asked for Lady Gaga and they were like "Lady what?", they still had the CDs in boxes and the guy told me I was lucky to purchase it the day they arrived. So I left the store, got on my car and started playing the album. Lovegame made me realize that I was right about this girl. I had listened to Just Dance, Poker Face and Beautiful Dirty Rich but I really felt something different about this album, it was a special feeling that I'd be listening to her for more years.

I don't remember bc I was like 9 when I first listened to The Fame & the only songs I knew were Just Dance & Poker Face at first listen. 

I got TFM Christmas 2009 & it came along with my first ever Gaga concert tickets, so I was bald.

I remember being so excited the day Born This Way was released, I listened to all of the song previews on iTunes and immeadiately bought it. Then the day after it was released, my dad came home with the physical CD. Again, bald.

ARTPOP sucked bc it leaked so I listened to a chopped up album. Nothing was new upon release sooo.... yeah it was different.

Even tho my fave album is TFM, I think I'm gonna have to say BTW was my favorite first impression/ first listen. 

[Chris Evans 8,917]

BTW for sure then probably ARTPOP

I guess since I've already heard half the album it wasn't as exciting even though I understood what Gaga meant when she said that albums are consumed like fast food (or something along those lines) so she chose to release more songs than one typically does before the album drops

[iMonster 1,037]

TFM, The Fame, ARTPOP, BTW. 

Just off first listen alone ^. 

[iCpro 14,846]

The first time I listened to TF, TFM and ARTPOP in full was 2015, but the first time I listened to BTW was when it came out in 2011. I remember thinking Gaga was a lesbian after listening to Americano, so definitely BTW for me
