What do Fans Mean by "Fillers" on BTW?

[lost in limbo 6,035]

Yeah, to me, the only fillers are HML, The Queen & Fashion Of His Love and they´re , so f---  it!

Spoiler

Also, how is Highway Unicorn a filler?

Fillers are songs that don't have single potential but are there to flesh out the album. 

TF is dragged by little born this waysters for fillers when almost any song on that album could have been a single.

BTW has many fillers such as Government Hooker, Americano, Bad Kids, Highway Unicorn, Black Jesus+Amen Fashion, Electric Chapel, The Queen, Heavy Metal Lover, Hair, Bloody Mary.  

This doesn't mean they aren't good. I actually like bad kids, the queen, HML, but the fillers do absolutely nothing for the album.

I feel like there aren't really any fillers Joanne but thanks for the input!  I can see Grigio Girls as a filler maybe but I just think it's more of a deluxe track rather than a filler

Joanne 'doesn't have any fillers' because none of the songs are spectacular and it's hard to pick which mediocre song is the most mediocre

To me a filler is a throwaway song that doesn't really mean anything and doesn't have much artistic input put into it. For example I find that an album like Glory is just full of filler tracks that don't really mean anything, same with Little Mix albums and other acts like that. When Gaga makes an album it always seems like she puts effort into every single song, probably helps that she writes her music so to me none of it feels like filler

I hear people say, when talking about BTW it's "full of fillers", but when I think of Fillers on BTW the only songs that come to mind are Bad Kids, and Highway Unicorn and Electric Chapel at a stretch. And it isn't like her other albums don't have fillers:

Money Honey, Starstruck, Summerboy, Disco Heaven, Swine, Fashion!, Sinners Prayer, Just Another Day Etc.

I don't really get what Monsters mean by BTW specifically having loads of filler  

I bolded some of her best songs. I wouldn't remotely call any of these fillers. That being said, I don't think I'd consider any of her albums to have fillers. Perhaps she could work on editing, removing some lesser songs, but I truly don't believe someone who writes all their own songs can have filler. That's reserved for single-oriented pop albums.

One of the best songs on Joanne hands down lol 

Agreed. I love Sinners Prayer and so many people hate on it in here.

I think gaga regards the queen as filler, she didn't even want to put it on the album!

Not when it's one of the few songs she quotes in her thank you notes in the BTW album booklet.

Just because you like them doesn't mean they aren't filler. 

HML is one of the only songs I like from BTW and it's a filler

[Noir 17,211]

There are no fillers on BTW, every tracks earns and deserves it's place. TFM and Joanne have no fillers either in my eyes.

And your statement about BTW is so incorrect. You're classifying Government Hooker, Bloody Mary, Americano, Hair, and even HML as fillers???......All of those songs fit in more with the theme, message, and music of BTW better than I Like it Rough, Boys Boys Boys, and Summerboy do for TF. Hell even Teeth should technically be classified as a filler going by your logic.

She says she wrote it in a hard time of her life and didn't want to put it on the album if I remember

[FentyGa 14,340]

The only song I consider a filler is the queen, all of the others are perfect.
