Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 8 minutes ago, Doot said: I think you are missing the point. You are equating songs being short as therefore having no artistry. So if Gaga went and cut the fat off the last minute and a half of poker face, therefore the entire first 2:30 seconds is devoid of artistry? No way. You kinda missed the point here too though. Poker Face is clearly not on the same level as Edge of Glory, The Queen, etc. artistically so of course it would help prove your point of trimming excess because those parts aren’t valuable to the song since the context is already there & not what’s being cut. The Queen has no “filler” parts so to speak, the instrumental, lyrics, vocal harmonies all help to construct the artistic vision. Look at Sine from Above & how it’s still 4 minutes long, I guarantee it’s because the song is comparable to Edge of Glory, The Queen, Speechless, etc. in regards to artistic exploration & impactful lyrics/melodies, not just a repeated phrase 50 times over to fill otherwise empty space. Either way you do have a point & I’m sure it applies to a few songs on Chromatica but @Cookie Tookie has a point too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheapGin 558 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Truthfully, Born This Way’s weakness is in its length, when the songs/albums are tight and cohesive things are always better critically AND from the consumption perspective, especially if Chromatica has a flowing dance/house Confessions on a Dancefloor kind of production Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did listen to the leak, and in the whatsapp group I'm in there were a bunch of people for whom that was their favorite part of the song. A little dessert after dinner never hurt anyone, after all.

1ooo d0veZ 570 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I'm bookmarked this thread for when Chromatica still ends up struggling on Spotify. Just kidding. No, I won't elaborate. I just told you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFRatwell 23,290 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 If Gaga releases a 5 minute long song, that’s because she as the artist feels it’s the perfect length If Gaga releases a 2 minute long song, that’s because she as the artist feels it’s the perfect length If you trust her artistry enough, you won’t care about the lengths or judge them before listening to them. streamLG6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awrah999 4,163 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Ultimately the quality of the songs is not determined by their running times but I do understand those concerned songs might have the the time to “breathe” and develop like in some prior albums... However, whenever I think about Sour Candy being 2:37 and possibly “too short” I remember a few months ago we didn’t have any Gaga Blackpink collaboration confirmed whatsoever and just last year we didn’t know if Gaga would ever make a true dance pop album again so honestly I’m just grateful we get brand new music and in an exciting pop era that truly feels like her own Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
