Literally for the last two weeks I haven't been excited at all like I was before TFM, BTW and ARTPOP. I didn't even listen to the snippets, partly because I didn't want to ruin anything, but partly because I wasn't that interested. Was I wrong or what.. This album is literally legendary. I think we can all accept it's not the most commercial album ever, especially in comparison to her older ones. I think what this album does for me, especially as a huge Gaga fan since The Fame, is hit all the right Gaga spots. What I'm saying is after her entire transformation and growth over the past 8 years or so, which I have also experienced in my life, she's now just enough Lady and just enough Gaga. Before it was too unbalanced or not enough of something. The substance to this album is equally outbalanced to its production. The best example I can think of is the scream at the start of John Wayne. But everything just feels so mature, with hooks that aren't in your face but pack enough punch to make almost every song memorable after first listen. I can't even describe the feeling I had when I first listening to Diamond Heart. I even love Perfect Illusion more after listening to the rest of tracks and can appreciate it as a whole body of work. How did I doubt that Gaga would pull this? I know she's not promoting it, it's not going to be commercially successful at all - and I think it would be unreasonable to expect that it will be now. But the music on this album really speaks for itself. Somehow, I think Gaga thinks that is enough and unfortunately it isn't - however this album is everything because it really speaks for EVERYTHING she is about. I'm so proud to call myself a fan and I literally cannot wait to see this live. But I do feel a bit guilty - although I wasn't actively speaking negatively about her - for doubting this initially. Whatever has happened in her career and personal life has come together and its reflected in this absolutely incredible body of art. It's heaven. My feelings exactly. We can safely assume that this is her first true album. Come on, this is poetry! While it's her least commercial one and has some very low points, it's the beginning of sth new for her. We've matured together What do you think of Joanne the song? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
