SevenWonder 3,076 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Joanne was "experimental" for Gaga. But not as an album itself. The only answer is Born This Way. The non singles especially. Lyrically, sonically and melodically off center. And I love the album for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTGOD 3,266 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Born This Way is her most consistently experimental album, it’s not always successful though. ARTPOP and TFM seem more successful in their experimentation to me tbh. That said it’s easily between ARTPOP and BTW, they’re the only albums in her discography that I feel no other artist could possibly make. They’re the most uniquely her. I’d say ARTPOP shows a bit more restraint (I know, restraint is not a word I would usually use when describing the album), and thus the experimentation lands more often. There is more order in the chaos that is ARTPOP. The production is the best way to compare them. Both albums are loud and busy, but in different ways. Songs in BTW tend to have many layers of instruments, almost too many. There’s this constant “wall of sound” quality to it. ARTPOP’s instrumentals are actually way less busy than they sound, it’s just that every synth and every instrument has been crafted for maximum impact. A lot of times there’s usually like one synth and some drums going on, but they make sure that they HIT. It’s just two different approaches to create the same effect. Something loud and in your face.

Donatellah 922 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Yeah, probably BTW is her most experimental album but Aura her most experimental track Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edonis 26,012 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 She may play with different sounds on each album, but I wouldn't describe any of them as experimental. Her songs are constructed with a very familiar structure and definitely reflects her pop-sensibilities and style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VOLANTIS 16,022 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 The production on Born This Way is so unique and intricate and I feel like every song on the album went through such a thorough scope for them to end up on the tracklist. It's also the album era we have the least amount of leaked unreleased content from. I'll lift you 3 inches off the ground and drag you to a meter and a half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatelynnMarie 3,835 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Sonically for the time especially, probably BTW, but for Gaga herself, Joanne. Joanne was really something we never could have expected from Gaga in so many ways. So in a way it's both? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolkins 3,831 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I went with TFM. I know it doesn't feel as out there as BTW, but I think it emboldened Gaga to really experiment with her sound later on. I had never heard a pop song like BR, and before it was the mega hit were used to now it was an unusual sounding song that could of been a risk. I think overall the album played with lots of different elements, it wasn't trying to be your average pop album and the only song that lets it down in that sense is Telephone.

androiduser 7,119 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I think fans are throwing the word "experimental" around quite easily because they think it's something very positive, and since it cannot be proven in any way, they can stick it to anything they like. Even the most unique Gaga tracks are referential to other musicians' work, so I don't see how they are experimental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
