Well...

1. Aura vs Diamond Heart
2. Venus vs A-YO
3. G.U.Y vs Joanne
4. Sexxx Dreams vs John Wayne
5. Jewels 'N Drugs vs Dancin' In Circles
6. Manicure vs Perfect Illusion
7. Do What U Want vs Million Reasons
8. ARTPOP vs Sinner's Prayer
9. Swine vs Come to Mama
10. Donatella vs Hey Girl
11. Fashion! vs Angel Down
12. Mary Jane Holland vs Grigio Girls
13. Dope vs Just Another Day
14. Gypsy vs Angel Down (Work tape)
15. Applause vs Million Reasons (Work tape)

ARTPOP: 9, Joanne: 6

With that being looked at, I appreciate the Joanne era more, because even though it felt slower, at least it was cohesive, Gaga seemed happy all through, it gave us the Super Bowl, 5F2 and the JWT (which I almost attended)

This is such a bad way of comparing albums. The best on ARTPOP being compared with Million Reasons (Work Tape) like that doesn’t even give Joanne a chance lol

i second this.

listening to ARTPOP i still feel kind of an adrenaline rush in most of the tracks tho i recreated the album for exapmple put burka in it, the mjh demo, the gypsy one and brooklyn nights in too.

 

for joanne i really really like the tracks but beside of joanne, sinners and john wayne they dont bring up that much reaction in me.

Neither album comes across quite so effortlessly as do The Fame/Monster, and neither has the magnitude of Born This Way. I used to think ARTPOP was hands down her best album up until a few months ago. I've since concluded that while ARTPOP has some of (imo) her greatest bops (DWUW, Applause, Sex Dreams), it also has some of her weakest efforts as well (Donatella, Fashion!, Dope). 

Joanne, while a bit more cohesive and more easily digestible, verges on boring, especially when put side by side with any of her other albums. But I do love it for what it is and I think it was a needed breath of fresh air in Gaga's discography, even if it's a "fresh" different from what we wanted. 

Overall, I'd say Joanne is the better album because it's more cohesive, has a better sense of direction, and overall sounds more polished. It's a more confident body of work than ARTPOP, which seemed to be doing a variety of different things at once and not doing any of them particularly well (rap on JnD, Bowie on Applause, R&B on DWUW, etc.). I think the biggest thing with ARTPOP for me is really just the name itself. Like really, what does ARTPOP mean? Her ARTPOP could literally mean anything, and that's such a pretentious, unclear, messy theme for an album.

The unnecessarily extravagant and self-serious nature of ARTPOP is what really did it in for me. Maybe if the era hadn't been such a disaster the concept would have made more sense, but even then, I felt like its ostentatiousness would have been a setback in any case. While DWUW and Applause are two of my Top 5 Gaga songs, the album as a whole can't compete with the more polished, concise, and relatable Joanne.

Joanne because it's actually cohesive with good lyrics and timeless production.

It's not all over the place like ARTPOP.

Lyrically and production wise Joanne is the better album. However, ARTPOP in my opinion has more replay value.

You know this is just my opinion, right?
