Why do they (by they I mean critics, reviews and many fans) keep insisting on The Fame Monster being her best album? It's like saying Madonna's best is True Blue... I don't see the excitement about it lmao (I've been a Monster since pretty much the beginning)

In my opinion, The Fame Monster has this bias of being short, like, it only has 8 songs, she had to make sure every song counted and there was no space for meh music, so most people have the illusion it’s a near-perfect album when in reality it is unfair to compare it to the other bigger albums. I do think TFM is great, don’t get me wrong, I just think that if it was a 15-song album maybe it would have some fillers and people would perceive it as not as great.

Including ASIB & excluding Harlequin immediately flatlands this list. It's not the list of honesty, it's clickbait. How do we know? Quality is subjective, sales are factual & this list hasn't used either. Not even popularity. It's a tumblr post at best.

 

1. Born This Way

2. ARTPOP

3. The Fame Monster

4. MAYHEM

5. A Star is Born

6. The Fame

7. Cheek to cheek

8. Chromatica

9. Joanne

10. Harlequin

11. Love for Sale

12. Joker Folie a deux OST

13. Top Gun: Maverick OST.

 

This is the real list. Argue with the wall.

Nah MAYHEM clears AP and Harlequin is better than Joanne 😏

I can't rank her albums, it depends on mood and feelings. 

TF will always be 1# though

Also a statement that needs to be repeated. 
 

TFM is not her magnum opus. It came out at the peak of her career, and people let the slayage cloud their judgment. 

Exactly this. I get the nostalgia, but if I had to show a non-gaga listener what her artistry is, TFM wouldn't be my first option... not even the second

Billboard continues to expose their trash taste. Imagine putting The Fame anywhere but 2nd to the bottom and Chromatica anywhere but deep below the rest

I get the impact of Just Dance, Poker Face, Paparazzi and Lovegame and overall Gaga's debut explosion but thank God she has outdone herself. The Fame will always be that iconic debut but it's not in her Top 3 anymore.

Shame some stans have to be so antagonistic about it just 'cause they can't use poppers and get drunk in the club to most of the songs

John Wayne -> Dancin' In Circles -> Perfect Illusion is a great poppers trio.

Funny how they listed ASIB but didn’t any of her jazz albums or Harlequin when MAYHEM is literally called by Gagz her 7th album. Sigh.

 

They literally say it in the article? ASIB is original music, the jazz albums arent

[andy232000 13,089]

It is her worst! But The Fame above Mayhem and BTW? Lol

Agreed. I would even go further but it would me look like an infiltrated fan to some people's eyes

It really is hard to choose. I cant. I wont choose! F*** Billboard writers and their divisive clickbait articles.

joanne > ARTPOP

diamond heart, ayo, John Wayne, PI, angel down and joanne piano version chew up ARTPOP effortlessly

Dope alone is better than that pissy album.

Didnt know Gaga wrote La Vie En Rose..

Folié a Deux (song) and Happy Mistake are original by the way

There was a reaction channel that pegged The Fame perfectly imo, kinda like you just did. They said it was a well crafted debut album that basically ensured no matter what singles they picked, it'd be a hit, and she'd take off.

It's a great launch point and I'm glad she lowkey revisited the spirit of that album with Mayhem but it'll always be near the bottom of my rankings

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