ANVEEROY 61,224 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 We are celebrating the anniversary of pop phenomena ARTPOP and we all know about the backlash when it got released. I was reading Joanne's AV club review and in the comment section I found a sensible comment about ARTPOP! Let's read it! I think those who dismiss ARTPOP are simply lacking interest in her/actually believe that her intent was doing a "Warholian experiment" (in most cases, with an apparently limited knowledge of pop art themselves)/actually believe Beyonce is an intellectual/actually believe Radiohead is the biggest rock band of the past twenty years. This album is sweet and raw. But ARTPOP was major, subcultural, subversive. Give the world ten years to let go of the "pop star mania" which condemn it to failure and it will be hailed as her unquestionable masterpiece. It's not about being a "little monster", it's about having some goddamn taste in music. https://music.avclub.com/lady-gaga-gets-back-on-the-right-track-with-joanne-1798189224 Stream Kylie-Janet Discographies!

Bio 23,538 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I don't know, I love ARTPOP because I think it's a great electronic pop record but it definitely was something very different from what she was hyping it to be. The idea of merging art and pop together is great but not the way she did it. Creating pop music about sex and putting it with some visual art references is not merging art and pop. In fact, she totally separated them in a way. It's like pop is the music and art is the visual and I think that was the biggest problem in this project.

An even bigger problem when we barely had any visuals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miel 15,009 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I don't agree with the comment, but I appreciate it's effort into analysis. I do think ARTPOP will be talked about in the future, not necessarily as a masterpiece, but more so as a martyr in her career: how an album as "okay" as ARTPOP was involved in a negative feedback loop involving the backlash of Gaga as a persona, mismanagement, depression, etc 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVeryGagaHolyDick 25,681 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I love ARTPOP (the spirit, the project) for its intention and integrity, but the final result was underwhelming. Gaga wasn"t allowed to do things the way she wanted to and it turned out to be a messy record. I still love it like a part of me, but I can't love the music itself.

Decodekid 28,266 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 ARTPOP as a whole is just what a a perfect album is, 15 tracks, each one telling a story, each one unique, so cohesive, the sound is so colorful, yes, ARTPOP has a lot of synesthesia for me, ARTPOP was the peak of what Lady Gaga means.

I don't know why, but when I read this, a thought popped in my head saying you saw ARTPOP in the same exact way as Gaga, and it made me smile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost in limbo 6,035 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 ARTPOP is Gaga's Erotica: overshadowed by scandal, that will in a few years be finally seen as the piece of art it is. Happy birthday ARTPOP my love this is the state of grace, this is the worthwhile fight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ristretto 883 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 but... the album truly isn't all that? it has some of her best tracks ever but it's an unifnished and poorly executed excuse of an album. don't act delusional and try it, no one will talk about ARTPOP in the future because it sounded dated when it got released lmao Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannesrats 26 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 ARTPOP is my favorite album of Gaga's, without question. It's her rawest. The one with the most pain in it. She was scared, hurting, dealing with addiction and loss. When you look at the motivation behind the work it feels the most relatable of her work.
