Not bad romance. 😂 Also not saying teenage dream is the greatest but it has half a dozen super catchy songs as Katy perry just goes for what she can do best instead of thinking crazily about its theme.

Takemyhand 634 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I like the idea! It would be great for gaga to do this kind of album for once. I rather listen to a album like this ( ala revival) than album with 12 songs talking about fame Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miel 15,009 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I think having a particular vision in an album is a pretty good way to keep either lyrical or sonic consistency. I actually still believe all the albums, no matter how nebulous ARTPOP's theme may seem, followed that notion. That said, I feel like E.MO.TION did have a theme, but that was definitely much more in overall sound and tone than writing. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was intrigued to know if people here think that TFM benefits from that thinking and how ARTPOP suffers from it. But I obviously didn't put it in the right words. I think the main problem with ARTPOP is that it was designed one way, with probably a very classic Gaga-esque theme, but by the time her label changed it to their liking, it had lost a lot of its focus...and then I think her split with Troy caused her to make a lot of last minute changes that ended up changing the original ARTPOP idea too. The great thing about TF/TFM & and BTW are their easily accessible, instantly 'iconic' themes. 'ARTPOP could mean anything' isn't something you can snap your fingers and understand, I don't think even Gaga fully understood ARTPOP's concept in its final form. Hopefully she goes back to having a simple, well thought out concept that won't get stretched 10 different ways like AP did. This sounds like I hate ARTPOP but it's one of my fave albums and I jam to it almost every day tbh ...ıllıllı c h e r r y c h e r r y b o o m b o o m ıllıllı...

REALITY 76,593 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 1. Well, she has been restricted before, but not because of an overemphasis on the album's theme. Especially with the ARTPOP era, we saw that the music industry and labels, and executives, are really what has held her back in particular points of her career; however, overall, I don't think she was held back, creatively or artistically. 2. I don't think that's likely. Her albums and her art will always revolved around something. Having an album that's not cohesive is not like her at all.

DemeLarell 931 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I thought teenage dream was the theme of the album. It's just more of a broader topic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oriane 21,061 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 One of the things I like about Gaga is that she always does concept albums. I thought it was the usual thing (I only listen to her, I like songs here and there by other artists but she's the only one I really know and follow her career). But I learnt it had a name, and not many artists do that, making albums with specific themes, doing a whole story or concept about the album. Her albums and eras have always been coherent, I don't want her to just do songs like this that don't have a specific meaning.

And Gaga doesn't need a Teenage sh!t, she makes her own Pop music which is also far superior than the bublegum recycled mess of Cheesy Perry...
