HorusRa2 5,005 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I’ve had highs and lows with it. When it came out I was very critical of it. Then I loved it. Now I can enjoy it but it’s the album I go to the least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imitalian 3,163 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Honestly I always loved ARTPOP, but since the Met Gala I realized this album is the epitome of CAMP: from the album cover to the themes and lyrics and to the music videos. I kinda wish it was promoted in that direction and in a less pretentious way. Camp is ART nonetheless but from the way she anticipated it as a revolutionary artistic innovative album I can see why the critics and gp were confused and this is way it is so misunderstood.

michael angelo 1,087 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 this album defines me in so many ways we could belong together Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FfFfFfFF 56,989 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Listening to it in full IS an experience. The individual songs are great, Venus, ARTPOP are masterpieces and all but the best experience is listening to it from start to finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose P 23,341 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Probably one of the most fun albums to listen to. You feel so elated and alive, like you can do anything. It’s impossible to stay still and you just want to dance, jump, twirl and slay. Ugh, amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy 12,669 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I think a big reason people didn't like ARTPOP at first was because they weren't sure what to make of it. It's *so unabashedly camp and at the time things were very "serious". Listen to the Manicure demo, for instance. It's all so insanely camp that we "cringe" because it's supposed to be like that. I think most people have a lack of understanding and appreciation of camp so they didn't quite "get" ARTPOP, easily her most queer album to date. As a progression from BTW, BTW was camp and fun but ARTPOP went even more camp and more meta to the point where I think people just thought she'd run out of ideas when in actuality she was holding a camp mirror to the Gaga persona. So just poor communication of ideas. I'm glad we love camp-ga now, though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifi 602 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 ARTPOP used to be my second favorite album by Gaga but lately i think BTW hasnt aged as good so ARTPOP takes the top spot by a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMom 12,647 Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 I just love how each song showcases a different side to Gaga’s personality. One minute she is silly, one minute serious, the next raging...I feel like her creativity and depth was really allowed to shine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's literally nothing innovative about it, half the instrumentals were made ages before and left to the side before she used them. Also for that time they are pretty dated compared to where EDM was at in 2013 Just cause you can repeat a common opinion doesn't make it more right. In fact, you yourself, are not innovative. You are lazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my opinion and I'm allowed to give that I didn't say I was innovative, I just disagree with ARTPOP being the 'most innovative pop album of all time' because to me that's silly to say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ARTPOPSlays Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Wow! I love this thread! Let’s kee the positivity going. I love ARTPOPs o much, and it’s trye that it’s an experience. I think it’s funyn when people say it’s not cohesive because it most certainly is. She was able to tie in all these different sides to her and make it work cohesively. Message wise I think there is a more underlying message in the album. It truly is a journey listening from start to finish Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rio 5,088 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 20 hours ago, fluidcarebear said: Yes. The electronic music was executed in such a different and fresh way than the music that is popularized on radio. That’s one of the things that makes it so special. She used some familiar sounds, shaped and molded them in unusual ways and layed bop vocals on top to produce something that no other pop girl will ever be capable of. I don’t stan Gaga because she follows radio trends...I stan her because she challenges and changes the norms. Some of this is for @Unbeweavable It was definitely different at the time of release. X I love it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bio 23,538 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 ARTPOP is probably my second fave album, just after Joanne. And they are so different! And I totally agree that the era should have been a camp fest instead of the pretentious artsy fartsy thing we got. I mean, Venus is the campiest thing I’ve heard in ages.
