Delusional 9,221 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Hi guys. Recently @The Enigmatic made a thread called something along the lines of the Mandala effect of the ARTPOP album cover, and honestly I looked at the cover closer and it’s such a mess The kaleidoscope behind the sculpture is so distracting that all of it blends together and becomes an eye sore after a while Dont get me started on the horrible font, what. is. that. The colour scheme is the only thing that gets my brain at calm. The blue/pink/b&w is perfect for the vibes of the album. I feel like the album would have been better with a shot of her with the Venus hair and a bare face doing the ARTPOP hands Note: this is not to bash the album, I love the songs (apart from Dope, Gypsy, Donatella and Fashion!) this is solely about the album cover. Discuss! Do you like the album cover or not? ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️BANNED TILL SEPTEMBER‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeeshy Keety 9,908 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Perhaps her greatest album cover, with TFM Deluxe Version as a close second They / Them 🏳️🌈 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Enigmatic 3,697 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 The album art is messy , which I guess refers to Gaga , but artistic ! I really love the photo , it is indeed and you can't deny the fact that it is iconic just like the messy BTW motorcycle shot I am having my ARTPOP moment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imnotyourbabe10 5,995 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 OT: It represents the album pretty well to me. Didn't she tweet about ARTPOP: "When pop sucks the tits of art"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnnamedArtist 3,403 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I like the cover, but I don't think it fits the album. A cover like for "Applause" would be better suited to the sound of the record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didymus 32,601 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 It's kind of awful but then it's also genius. The concept is absolutely amazing (though I still don't get why they didn't photograph the actual statue and replaced it with a digital model instead... that sort of defeats the purpose of the whole cover) but the question is: could they have executed it better? I'm gonna say yes but I still think it's one of the most unique, baffling (in a good way) and memorable album covers ever. I kind of like it that she doesn't have even one stereotpyically "great" album cover, there's always a little something off or wrong with it (at least until Joanne whose cover was just... boring) It's my second favorite album cover of hers tbh, next to my #1 which is TFM (both covers).

Enzo 37,977 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Just now, Didymus said: though I still don't get why they didn't photograph the actual statue and replaced it with a digital model instead.

Didymus 32,601 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I just find myself wishing she released a ton of different editions all made by different visual artists That would've been epic. If the official cover we got was just one of the different options I think a lot more people would've liked it. I also would've loved to see this one in stores right next to it: etc. Then again, I also love the simplicity of this one: So yeah, there probably were better choices.

Illuminati 15,293 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I'm not a huge fan of Koons art in general so I wasn't a huge fan but I guess it also works with the album. Pop Art in general is like a mockery of what's perceived as mainstream and cheap and she's been heavily influenced by that at the time so I guess it works. I would have preferred if it was an image from the photoshoot or something like applause cover art though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
