You're just filling in non-existent blanks to discredit it. If you made Joanne and Chromatica shorter albums by subtracting songs they might've been better received too. But who can say because none of these albums actually exist.

Playing hypotheticals like this is in no way conducive to this discussion or the subjects at hand.

This. The album is 8 tracks long because of the concept:

 

Fear of Love

Fear of Men

Fear of Sex

Fear of Death

Fear of Fame

Fear of commitment

Fear of addiction

Fear of truth

 

Whew. A true body of dark artistry.

Judas is coming, let the cultural baptism begin.

Oh please. Bad Romance and Alejandro alone. This is the pop bible of the 2010s.

Of course these are legendary songs. I am not talking about those alone but the album as a whole.

And "the pop bible" truly is BTW if we are giving titles like that

You will never convince me the 8 track 'fears' were not conceptualised after to make the album seem more artistic than it was. Sure they fit, but it was not the intention lmao

Thanks, it was conceptualized before or during the production of the album. That's why No Way, Reloaded, Animal etc aren't in it. I wish it was tbh. But this is a less is more situation.

I mean lbr people usually say either TF Chromatica or Joanne is worst

 

 But it isn’t gonna be TF bc it has EVERY initial hit and the deep cuts still hit

it’s not gonna be chromatica bc it got better reviews for its cohesion.

So yeah it’s Joanne. That doesn’t make it necessarily bad but…it’s def her worst imo

If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating.

I think it’s less cynical but you’re not totally wrong. She probably made a LOT of songs (we know she did) was sifting through them and then during the selection process realized the kind of album story she wanted to tell. It’s artistic, still, but I don’t think she went in as intentional as some think to make the specific fears. It feels like she realized the vision of where she was at that time in compiling the songs and selected accordingly.

If they included A Star Is Born, why not include Harlequin? It also has original music and the songs from the movie.

Tbf most of harlequin is covers whereas ASIB is basically all original music. That’s probably why
