ARTPOP, bad or misunderstood?

Honestly, I think it's both misunderstood and not understood enough.

Like she has said multiple times, she was trying to be every icon. It could feel messy, and sometimes even uncomfortable, but that's what art is supposed to make you feel like.

People say she was confused and lost. With all that the drama that was going around in her life? Yeah. Did her mismanagement and mistreatment exhaust her to the point where she couldn't fully execute what she envisioned? Sure. But did she have a vision for the album and was she committed to it throughout? Absolutely. And she tried to stick to it until the very end.

This interview from the C2C era was the only time I've seen her talk about it and try to address the situation and what went wrong (watch from 5:37 onwards)

In retrospect, people appreciate it more. That's what happens with art pieces, and that's what happened with this album as well.

Again, her ARTPOP could mean anything 

This is so interesting. "For legal reasons I can't say..."

I wonder if in the future, maybe 2023 (10y later) they may start to address it more.
