Katharine Hepburn 4,607 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I think she took a risk with Joanne and it laid the groundwork for the work on the ASIB OST. Not all the risks paid off (eg perfect illusion bombing) but I think it meant a lot to Gaga and it certainly has its fans. I probably listen to Joanne the least but personally ARTPOP is just a little half baked and doesn't feel as complete (not surprising looking at where she was mentally at the time and I don't blame her at all) but I love all the albums xoxo Joanne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s extremely cohesive and has some of her best lyrics and melodies to date. Aesthetically, the era wasn’t my favorite, but sonically it is absolutely amazing.  Unpopular opinion on this cult site: ARTPOP is her least cohesive / worst album. I STILL ENJOYED IT, but for me there are a lot of cringey moments throughout. VENUS remains one of my favorite Gaga songs, though, so don’t come for me btches. ARTPOP is by far not my favorite Gaga album however sonically and in sequencing+theming it's more cohesive than Joanne, which hops around from a cigarette referencing kiss off, to balladry about her aunt passing straight to riding bad boy d*ck and then masturbating. Joanne has no thematic or even sonic cohesion. It's just a general mish-mash of vaguely Americana aesthetics mixed with a fusion of Mark ronsons retro modern 60s/70s flair and two entirely separate and random forays into latin vibed pop and the other, some weird disco glam rock hybrid thing. whats even remotely cohesive about it? lol i feel like people just think "oh its all like country vibes". ARTPOP was conceptually porous but the actual album does take a journey through sex, freedom, fashion, and drugs all broken up into sections leading to the finisher Applause. As the show must go on. Say what you want about the content itself but it had a unifying thread throughout thematically and sonically :p Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electronic music by its very nature doesn’t age well due to the progression in technology. This is definitely true but I don't think ARTPOP sounds dated yet... the production and mixing was super crisp and sparkly (apart from maybe MJH, Gypsy and Venus). Maybe in a couple of years the sound quality will seem outdated, but today it still sounds fresh and high quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerfectCure 4,750 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 It’s cute and has some tracks I still listen to but her worst by far. It’s okay though, we can’t all win taste-wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You yourself named 5 different themes, not mentioning the title tracks theme or Donatella’s. In what world is that cohesive? Minus a handful of songs, Joanne is about LOSS and ACCEPTANCE. There are also sexual themes (as there are in every Gaga album) with John Wayne, A-yo, Dancing in Circles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RochestrMonstr 2,274 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I’m not necessarily “Team Joanne” since I wouldn’t call it my absolute favorite above the others. I’d say most of her albums are actually tied for me. The Fame is the only one that sticks out to me as less good. It has many similar sounding songs and not enough power vocals from Gaga in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuanota 368 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 To me, personally, ARTPOP was more of a disappointment at the moment of the release (with all the management issues and empty promises). But with Joanne I didn’t really have huge expectations for some reason, and I enjoyed it a lot more when it just came out. It has a very clear aesthetic that made the album fine as a whole. But here in 2019 (even though sometimes I still enjoy Joanne) I think it aged like milk and her other albums aged like good wine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
