Cassidyfal 758 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Music albums aren't supposed to tell a full story, its a collection of songs. Some songs may be written from years before. Music is music, not every thing has a meaning lol ily Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giskardsb 12,565 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Pop fans seem to want everything clean and smooth. Planned out albums with planned out singles targeted to current top 40 radio trends to generate hits with planned out promo campaigns and perfectly planned video releases, sending their popstar to planned out success and fans feeling good about their choice of popstar to stan. The real world isn't that nice. It's unpredictable and chaotic. An individuals environment changes, relationships change, mental and physical health changes, desires and goals change, and other things too. ARTPOP is a perfect reflection of the realities of Gaga's life at the time. Depressed, Chaotic, Energized, Combative, Disjointed, Empowering, Reflective..... it's all in there. When I listen to an artist, I want their work to reflect themselves, their feelings, their fears, desires, etc. I want their work to be an extension of them. Not just product produced to satisfy the top 40 radio market. So for me, that makes ARTPOP a very valuable piece of Gaga's catalog, and much more interesting in it's chaos than any perfectly planned pop release would have been.

Immortal 222 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I have to admit I expected something more experimental from the ARTPOP project. I mean, I love ARTPOP as an album (except Jewels N' Drugs & Dope, don't come for me, thanks ), but as you said, it didn't achieve what it was supposed to really be.

I like J&D, but my theory still is that some label manager said "we need you to make a pop song featuring a rapper" and Gaga was like "hold my beer...."

With a clear sober mind, and good time and thinking space. It would have been a supernova that would define music for decades. ♡ nyc ♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy 10,363 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 ...I think Dope fits perfectly. Just as Gaga described it, the album is an adrenaline rush, but then at the end of the party after all the fun and drugs and mindless sex and debauchery, you're alone. To me, Dope saved the album from being a one-note perspective. From Dope we get that, "oh ****, life's not just a party. You can't just get strung out." because when you're not, when the high dies down, you're alone and need to get high again to fight it. Dope, to me, is about the importance of mindfulness and of managing your sobriety because you can't run from your problems like issues of love and joy and self-fulfillment and pain. The album takes you through the high of running then down with Dope before she can be happy in love on Gypsy. It makes logical sense to me especially when you listen in one sitting because if you're raging you're *tired* by the time you get to Dope. You break down from the relentless rage and that's when you feel and then after you can be happy. Idk that's just my take on why it's there. I do think ARTPOP did not turn out as she liked or to its potential, but I don't think Dope's inclusion is what did that or contributed. Sidenote: I think, tied with DWUW, it has the best production hands down on ARTPOP. It is so perfectly balanced to the song and so carefully arranged. She, Rick, and Paul did a fantastic job with it.
