This got me curious to know how people define "ahead of its time" when it comes to albums/music...

The only Gaga album I would consider ahead of its time is Born This Way, through its acceptance message that became a major topic of discussion in the years after the release of the album, and through the music spawning hits even 10+ years after the release.

That was only for that time you quoted me about the Chromatica era, it’s not meant to be taken seriously :kara:

I grew up in a rural area in Appalachia, so I’ve heard a lot of country music as well. The tracks I listed + Grigio Girls (forgot about her) are all pretty country forward in terms of instrument choices and soundscape IMO

Ooh southern king :ally: I’m a Carolina boy, but I love the Appalachians.

No, it was not ahead of its time - but it is in her top 3 albums. Dancing in Circles and John Wayne are not gems, I am afraid to say. Truly some of her worst songs...

I always forget Florence is on the album, my god Hey Girl could have been sooo much better :sure:

album highlights: DIC, PI, SP, CTM, JAD… 

Chromatica and it’s completely different but also still chromatica

To be fair, she’s got a whole cowboy hat in the cover :icant:

But it’s just an aesthetic, the music wasn’t country. It’s like Madonna’s look ombré cover of “Music” is FULL cowboy and she even made a cowboy themed video (Don’t Tell Me) but the cover art did not make it a country album.

No, the difference between Gaga and Bey is that Joanne is polished, it's not full country or rock

Interscope wanted to polish the album, making it more popish

Beyoncé is going full country/blues with her album

And that's my problem with Joanne, she was not allowed to go hard in the influences and that's why I'm worried about LG7 if it's rock or metal, it will have some little influences here and there but nothing really deep

I prefer her to go in the full thing like doing something like Rammstein or Metallica and not in an Olivia Rodrigo way

No I don't think so. Country music has always and always will be popular in the USA. And genres come in and out of vogue all the time.

I hate to say but Joanne was arguably made in defeat of ARTPOP to help boost her public image, as well as a way to help find herself again. It's very safe and lukewarm. Plus it isn't full country, it was more of an aesthetic to dress the album in to make it more pleasing to the US GP imo.

 

I'm fine, Ta

By the way, when was the last time that Gaga acknowledged its existence ?

When Gaga stopped TCB leaving the stage in the middle of Angel Down :air:

not ahead of it's times but underrated. Same for chromatica. She always brings her unique twist to the sonic palette to take the genre she delves in into her own universe.
