AmericanGUY 4,609 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 i usually always reorder an albums tracklist to better flow with a story or sonically. ARTPOP's OG tracklist works but i wanted to try something out. i kept the album at 12 songs. Dope and Jewels N' Drugs are good songs but didn't flow with the album as much. not to mention i wanted to keep the album free of features (sorry Xtina). based on both the artRAVE and multiple listens, here's what i've come up with: 1. ARTPOP - arguably one of the most mellow-tempoed songs on the record. it is a perfect opener and sets the stage for the impending songs. 2. G.U.Y. - the intro alone works so well as transition to the upbeat songs to follow. 3. Donatella - similar to how the first act of the artRAVE flows, the ending of G.U.Y. to Donatella works so well. 4. Venus - THIS FLOWS SO WELL. 5. Manicure - i'd say this song is hard to place along with Fashion! bc they are so different but i kept with the pace from the tour. 6. Aura - the following three songs are like the "heart" of the album as they are a few tracks in and reveal Gaga at her most vulnerable or her truth. the ARTPOP at the end staples the theme of the album. 7. Swine - a glimpse of Gaga's pain (what the record came out of) being danced through. 8. Applause - in my opinion the closer is obvious and Applause isn't quite it. it serves as the thesis of the album and pushes the theme of Gaga's pain being "cured" by the applause. 9. Mary Jane Holland - the next three songs are not as high intensity of the previous but still pack a punch. MJH represents the drug use, Sexxx Dreams represents the sex, and Fashion! represents the fashion (groundbreaking). all these are coping mechanisms for pain that Gaga explored. 10. Sexxx Dreams - the lighter at the end of MJH to the beat of this song...no words. it works so well. 11. Fashion! - same with Manicure, i wanted to include it but the piano throws it off just a tad. but the flow from this song to the next just works. 12. Gypsy - we know this is the definitive closer and the beginning piano complements Fashion!. i'm still considering if Brooklyn Nights, Nothing On (But The Radio), & DWUW would fit but the 12 track record is so pleasing to me. but if they were placed, i'd say BN would be after Fashion!, NO(BTR) would be after Venus, and DWUW would be after Swine or Sexxx Dreams. how do your guys' tracklists for ARTPOP go? ꧁ 𝕛'𝕧𝕖𝕦𝕩 𝕡𝕒𝕤 𝕞𝕠𝕦𝕣𝕚𝕣 𝕥𝕠𝕦𝕥𝕖 𝕤𝕖𝕦𝕝𝕖 ꧂ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFRatwell 23,290 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I actually really like the album tracklist. Aura is a great opener, and ARTPOP in the middle of the tracklist makes sense because it’s the heart of the album. It also serves as a great breakdown/intermission sonically. The duality of Donatella and Fashion! I love, and MJH with Dope. I think I’d switch Applause and Gypsy and ofc add the extra almost on the album songs (Temple, NOBTR, BN) but that’s it. So: Spoiler 1. Aura 2. Venus 3. GUY 4. Sexxx Dreams 5. Jewels N’ Drugs (Ft. Too Short, Twista, T.I.) 6. MANiCURE 7. Temple 8. DWUW (With XTina) 9. ARTPOP 10. Swine 11. Donatella 12. Fashion! 13. Nothin On But The Radio 14. Mary Jane Holland 15. Dope 16. Brooklyn Nights 17. Applause 18. Gypsy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dramatica 13,690 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Applause feels out of place in ARTPOP. Jussayin' I didn't ask for a free ride, I only asked you to show me a real good time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvador Sequea 813 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I've always thought that ARTPOP (Song) somehow it kinda ruins the flow of the album. Just sayin', having Do What U Want, a song about literally her letting averyone do "whatever they want" with her body, aslong as she keeps her heart and her mind (and featuring a literal rapist), followed by Swine, a song about a rape itself... I mean, that works so genius, but then it comes ARTPOP in the middle of those and it's like... ARTPOP should've been the opener of the album, even if Aura works better. Idk, ARTPOP is such a good song, but it doesn't fit in the middle of the album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
