I never saw someone saying they hadn't listened to the snippets, but I guess we're all avoiding the same threads here. Why not ? So you have no idea how these songs sound like ? Because I wanted the album to be a surprise and for example the ARTPOP itunes festival kind of ruined my first listening experience so I decided that I wouldn't make the same mistake again and listen to live versions of the songs before they get released. So no, I have no idea what they even sound like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason: when I hear snippets I develop the song in my head, and very often the full song is not the way I imagined from the snippet. So this time I won't listen to anything, I don't want to expect anything. But by not listening you're just getting more hyped. Trust me, it's not worth it this time. This is not Born This Way I didn't ask for a free ride, I only asked you to show me a real good time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnishGypsy 921 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Haven't listened and don't intend to! I've already pre-ordered the digital and hard copy of the album, and I want to be completely surprised on the 21st. After waiting for three years, I can hold out for one more week, haha. I don't judge anyone for listening to the snippets, (it's not a full leak and I doubt it will compromise sales because it's likely all stans who will buy the album regardless), but I think particularly with Gaga's music, a 30 second clip is likely to give a very wrong impression of the song itself. Namely, because the structure of her verses are often so vastly discrepant from the choruses...like, imagine hearing only the first verse of "Judas"; you'd have a completely different view of what the song actually sounds like. Not even to mention her bridges generally feature her speaking rather than singing, with a substantial departure from the general melody/key. For example, if I just heard the bridge of "Dance in the Dark," I would not be terribly impressed; however, the song as a whole is a masterpiece. Personally, I just think a Gaga song needs to be listened to in its entirety to accurately judge it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo GagaGaga 6,541 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I haven't listened to any besides a tiny bit of the bridge of John Wayne bc it started autoplaying when someone posted it on twitter, and that sounded amazing from the 3 seconds I heard, but I intend to wait Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrlemon 577 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I did! I don't want to ruin the experience and I'm not 100% sure how to listen to the snippets Gaga, Ke$ha, and Ava Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djBuffoon 12,114 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I've only listened to them four times a day since they leaked I don't understand how anyone could be disappointed, the snippets sound fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adammmm 967 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I listened to Sinners Prayer but that's it. I just had to see how it compares to the live version because I loved it so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijahfan 26,010 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I did stay away from the snippets, except those of Sinner's Prayer and A-Yo because we had already heard the songs live. I'm usually the sort of person who would just listen to any possible leak, but... 30 s of every song? Really? I mean, it's not just a little peak, it's like... a huge deal. Definitely not the way I'd want to discover this album in particular. I remember something similar had happened to a record I had been highly anticipating a couple of years ago - I had listened to the snippets back then, and regretted it once the album finally came out. Like, it totally killed the first listening experience and the discovery of the thing. I'm impatient, but I just didn't wait 3 years just to spoil everything less than a month before getting the real deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
