The Fame is better than ARTPOP

I'm saying this cause too many people rank The Fame lower than ARTPOP or claim ARTPOP is one of Gaga's better albums.

Sure I like some songs from ARTPOP, but as an album, it's a mess. The Fame also has some of her best songs in her discography. 

The Fame has a very consistent synth pop sound from start to finish. It's a concept album that knows what it is without trying to be anything other than a fun pop album. It's got a better ballad, better collaborations, it has a retro 80s sound that still sounds modern and fresh today. Her hooks and verses are much more quotable, the lyrics had more impact, the dance pop sound was innovative at the time when her singles became hits. 

ARTPOP, doesn't really know what it is or what it wants to be. There are too many edm genres in it, it sounds very inconsistent sonically. It's very loud, like the beats are over produced, she's yelling so loud. Maybe that was her intention but it's very unpleasant listening to it on headphones. Not to mention her edm project already sounded dated by the time it was released. The tracklist is too long and would've benefited from being an 8 track EP ala The Fame Monster.

The songs I do like on ARTPOP though are Do What You Want and Gypsy. Venus was an interesting experiment but it is catchy and Applause was a bop. It's got some songs I individually like, but as an album from start to finish, The Fame is better and has better songs.

You're really working to get everyone on this site to dislike you, huh?

Well that’s your opinion. And many people have different opinions. These are all personal opinions. None is arguably “correct”

I am bringing back my original comment.

There is a similarity between you and a floppy disk. Small brain storage and that shows to every post you have. Both are good albums, you don't need to downplay ARTPOP to the other. End of statement.

I'm like some kind of supernova

I agree 100% with the title in this thread.

ARTPOP is cute but it's all over the place. It could've been much better.

The Fame is a pop bible. A true classic and also makes much more sense.

HOWEVER I have to say ARTPOP as a concept is better. The Fame plays it pretty safe.

Both great albums and we can enjoy them without being mean :hug:

That's the entire point, it's all supposed to be about adrenaline
