Babel 41,431 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 So Recently I’ve been seeing a lot of love for ARTPOP everywhere I look. For example, this viral tweet: A lot of my friends gave a listen to ARTPOP after watching ASIB and told me it truly deserved better than be labeled as a failure. So in your opinion, was ARTPOP mistreated upon release and deserved much more? Discuss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronyoji 2,054 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 i think it some ways it was, but in others it was actually kind of dated sounding by the time it had come out. for instance aura, incredibly forward and to this day seen as controversial for no reason. or her idea to have a whole visual album before most pop artists would even think to do so.....:cough: btw that michael jackson reference did not age well lmao Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoful 13,304 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 YES!! I have been preaching this since 2013. It’s literally so amazing and you all let it flop. I literally bought 3 copies for myself and gifted like 7 to friends. I put blood sweat and tears into trying to save this holy album!!! "My name is Dita, I'll be your Mistress tonight..."

Bloody hooker 6,445 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Yes, and deserved better This mutual gaze was a “longing to touch” or a "pre-coitus" stare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
candydarling 1,802 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 the sound was dated at the time, so no Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling 31,370 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I think publicity goes a long way but also the "main pop girl" debate will always rage on so there were alot of factors contributing to it not selling more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamite 58,750 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 If it was ahead of its time surely it would sound modern and fresh now? I like the album but it sounds a bit dated, so no. Like a poem said by a neydy in red Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smother Em Eh 7,125 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 In concept and message, yes. In sound, no. It was outdated by the time it came out. But it is slept on tho. Get Applause & G.U.Y to 1B views! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombiecat 16,607 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 No? it was behind no? I mean the g.u.y original she used the instrumental from was kinda old? ARTPOP was literally way behind it's time/what we thought it'd be https://linktr.ee/jamalholt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
latina twilight 2,319 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I would use the terms 'underappreciated' and 'misunderstood'. "YOU USED TO BE SO KIND, I NEVER KNEW YOU HAD SUCH A DIRRTY MIND". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VOLANTIS 16,404 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 The complete opposite. The album had sounds the GP got over in 2012. I'll lift you 3 inches off the ground and drag you to a meter and a half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
