I use Bose, which is good quality headphones. By loud and unpleasant, I mean it sounds abrasive. The production is over produced and her voice and the production is just loud. But that's actually a problem I had with current pop music back then. It was a trend that louder and faster was better but I wasn't here for that.

Confessions on a Dance Floor incorporated more sounds from disco and house music and electronic music, innovative but not really influential, since it would take four more years for dance and electronic music to be dominated on top 40 radio, which had an upstart from Gaga's singles from The Fame album a year prior. 3 hours ago, DiskoBaby said: After Lady Gaga's The Fame/The Fame Monster dominated the charts, her sound just started pouring all over the radio for the next few years and female singers dominated the charts again with dance music. It put four on the floor pop music back on the map (said by Calvin Harris). And now we're seeing 80's theme synthpop making a comeback again with The Weeknd and Dua Lipa's newest albums. Okay, you win this fight. After explaining it better, I've realized you're right. But there's also something you said in your original post that I still strongly disagree with... I also should have articulated myself better in a previous comment--The Fame sounded fresh back then when it first came out but it's sound is anything but fresh today. All of Gaga's pre-'Til It Happens to You material is very much of-it's-time and it's representative of a different era. The sound design and the textures are very late 2000's. No popular music before 2016 would sound current in today's music landscape, it's too dated and overdone. "Stupid Love" is a great example of current-, but not fresh-sounding electronic music in 2020. As for dance music that truly sounds fresh in 2020, it has yet to come out in my opinion.

Oyster 2,458 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 absolutely. both the fame songs and art pop songs are good but the reason the fame destroys art pop is because its production is CLEAN and its concept is COHESIVE. art pop is all over the place. catchy, but all over the place. as an album the fame wins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of great albums that don't have a concept at all. Sometimes it's best to just represent an album as nothing more than a collection of songs. Well-made songs, but just songs nonetheless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
