Preface this by saying its a masterpiece and I love it A LOT. 

But. 
 

In the context of Gaga’s career its wildly overrated. Its also not as dark and twisted as people make it seem (or as she sold it at the time). 

Tbh that’s the only reason the videos work. If the music was very dark, too, then it would feel too heavy. They maintain balance by the songs being *romantic* ala Alejandro, Bad Romance, Dance in the Dark, Telephone (chorus), but not being heavily melodramatic themselves.

She should stick to EPs imo. Her albums tend to end up getting slightly bloated with 2-3 songs that could be cut

The album would've been THE BEST PIECE OF ART OF ALL TIME if it was a visual album

While I love DITD (I think it's one of his most iconic songs), I don't like the way it's produced. The sound is too "flat" and the vocals are on the same level as the instrumental, there's nothing that stands out.

The EP should have been a visual EP. Each song deserved a music video.

I don’t think they would be melodramatic if they were darker, though. I love them as they are but I think people have a twisted vision of the songs because of the visuals.

The Fame Monster is overrated and only highly rated because Gaga was at the peak of her global dominance during the era. The hype and obsession around her was at its height thus creating a bias that this album is her best when it’s not.

Teeth is a good song

Teeth IS A GREAT SONG. Should have been a single with a music video. I'd even say Teeth should be a single than DITD.

It is her best Album.

Every Song should have been a single. (yes also teeth)

Monster should have been the lead single just like Gaga originally wanted it to be.

I am happy it is so short because then the Monster concept would have been scrapped.

Telephone should have been a stand alone single without the album.

Bloody hooker

Not really unpopular, but TFM is an album/LP.

Bad Romance isn’t that great

This mutual gaze was a “longing to touch” or a "pre-coitus" stare.
