Can’t believe The Fame Monster is winning when the most consistent look of the Born This Way era was the devil horns on her face and (mostly) black leather. The gothic makeup didn’t mean anything to you?? 

What was dark about The Fame Monster, the photoshoot with the dripping mascara?? :koons:

umm the music... 

pop ate my heart

The Fame Monster is about fear and literally has 'Monster' in the title :huntyga:  Whereas Born This Way is more about self-acceptance and freedom and has numerous uplifting songs :sis:

TFM, even though BTW was dark with the elements of face horns, religious imagery and dark topics it still had its light moments (Hair, The Edge Of Glory) and the message of freedom and liberation. TFM had a very dark and gothic undertone.

This is such a tough call! :diane:  What do we consider dark?  Or fearful?

TFM, to me, is about struggling with the darkness of relationships or concepts (romantic or otherwise -- as each song is about a "Monster" and isn't always a person).

BTW, on the other hand, was reported by Gaga as being "What keeps us up at night and what makes us afraid." (Correct?). As such, I may have to vote BTW for darkest.  Aside from the visuals and obviously Judas, she dives further into relationships and individualism/identities and the struggles with them (Marry the Night, Scheiße, YoĂŒ and I, The Queen, Edge of Glory, Americano, Hair).  

Overall, for me personally, TFM is darkest because of the romantic relationship themes.  However BTW might be the overall winner, here.  EDIT: I saw a good point about how BTW empowers through the darkness but TFM doesn't really offer any hope.  TFM takes my vote, then.


PS: I totally see how ARTPOP could be considered the darkest, too.  The juxtaposition of the vibrant visuals with the heaviness of the messages from songs like Swine and Dope is pretty disquieting.

so happy i could die is about her going to her "happy place" when she's on drugs and how she has to constantly "tweek" herself in order to feel alright ......so yeah i'd say it's pretty dark

Born This Way is about equality, freedom, and being yourslef

 

Yeah it had dark visuals, but not really dark music (minus Bloody Mary, Sheisse, Judas)

TFM is about fears, and is overall just dark

 

Plus these visuals
