ARTPOP

The Fame

Born This Way

The Fame Monster

Joanne

I really like Joanne, it's just not as 'epic' or cohesive as her other albums. I know people were telling her she had to stop with the conceptual albums and lower the track list, so I expected Joanne. I guess it's just not as fun as the others? It's still great on it's own though.

I hardly listen to Joanne anymore, half the album I never liked and the other half aged so, so poorly imo

My least favorite Gaga album by a long shot. Still like it though. 

It's crazy how people still think ARTPOP was her worst. That album is a masterpiece and is only rivaled by BTW :awkney: There isn't a single bad song on there (bar JND), yet on Joanne half the album is unlistenable (e.g. Hey Girl, Come to Mama (cringe), Angel Down, etc.)

Edit: Also, "Joanne is cohesive" my ***. Lol!!! She goes from one song singing about her late aunt and then the next song she's talking about fingering herself?! How is that coehsive?! Half the songs have totally obscure meaning (Sinner's Prayer), so how the heck do we even know what it's about to have an judgement of coehsiveness? :awkney:

The album is alllll over the place. Half the time she's singing about Joanne and then the other half her sex life? It's just super jarring and weird. Sorry. No offense I just don't get it.

Here's how I ranked them. Whenever there's a tie in a rank, I just place them in alphabetical order

1) ARTPOP, Born This Way, Joanne, The Fame Monster

2) Cheek to Cheek

3) The Fame (don't hate on me, it's just that I feel knowing Gaga a little better now, this isn't really representative of who she is. The singles and some songs are fire thought)

Ok here's the tea: 

1. Born This Way / Joanne [TIE]
Both extremely cohesive and streamlined to perfection; both develop an overall concept and vision, with the execution 100% supporting both's individual journeys; both solid and replayable; both were vastly different from the "general" pop sound during the times when they were released, 2011 and 2016 respectively; both feature some of the strongest songs in her entire career. Both elevated Gaga to new heights in her career (BTW artistically, Joanne sonically). Both are timeless and will be remembered as turning points in her overall career trajectory. 

2. ARTPOP
While all over the place, it generally executes Gaga's initial visions during her career (combining performance art with pop music) extremely well. The highs are very high, and the lows are mediocre at worst, therefore leveling the album to be quite substantial when paired with her other work. Sort of the cumulative moment of her early career (2008-2014) and definitely contains something for everyone. The most "Gaga" album of her career, thus far.

3. The Fame Monster
Upped the stakes of Gaga's artistry, really laying the ground-work for what was to come; solid production that, although a bit dated, has somewhat of a timeless appeal. Inspired pop for the following few years.

4. Cheek to Cheek
Besides the novelty appeal, it opened up new lanes for Gaga's talent; expanded her reach beyond simply pop music, and undeniably placed her in a league of her own. A very necessary moment for her career to continue on in the best of possible directions.

5. The Fame
A cute starting point, but ultimately only an experiment at being a superstar - sort of like her warming up before the big game. 85% of the album sounds dated (as of 2017); even the hits don't stand out against album tracks that appear later in her career. Ultimately not a reflection of her capabilities, and other than nostalgic value, it serves no purpose in being a representation of Gaga's artistry.

I don't skip songs on other albums quite like Joanne's so I would rank Joanne as her weakest solo album
