in general it is very very 2009-2010 era looking, lol. its well made and I'm sure the other photos will sway me more, given I&V are her best photographers, but its a bit dated. it almost looks like a "just dance" avatar for when you dance to a gaga song on Wii.  

don't want to come off too little monster defensive because quite honestly regardless of my appreciation for her i can also still be quite harshly critical. however I don't find the promotional images for enigma to be even remotely dated. i kind of feel like those saying this are interpreting its neon glow as being too close to the 2011-2013 day-glo era of edm rave culture and ibiza club music trends in top 40. but if you actually look at the styling vibe and aesthetic of the photo its not at all related to the rave/ibiza trends of a few years ago beyond its inclusion of neon ---> which is a staple of the las vegas strip which could possibly be part of the inspiration of her going that route with the imagery idk.

i mean this is the first time ive genuinely really liked an aesthetic shes come out with for a promotional campaign in a minute so to see so many people like jumping in and calling it dated or in bad taste really confuses me.
