the “every song represents a fear” thing is totally forced and it kind of ruined Telephone’s reputation 

How? No one’s aware

Wow. Most of these unpopular opinions are unhinged! You guys don't deserve The Fame Monster.

Teeth is great. It's a nice break from the rest of the album and it's one of the most interesting songs she's ever done simply for how different it is

Probably not that unpopular but Speechless is her best ballad and will never be topped. It's an absolutely perfect 10/10 song

The EP / LP discourse is dumb and doesn't matter. The work speaks for itself and by cultural impact alone it's more than enough to count it as an album. 

I have other opinions but I think they are not unusual so I will leave it at that. It's a great album, in the holy trinity for me with BTW and Mayhem.

You and I are meant to be besties I fear. I literally came here to write an essay on how underrated Teeth is. 

EASILY my favorite track from TFM :giveup: the abstract chanting, the almost Pixar villain-esque brass, that tension created by having the guitar hit immediately after the kick that just pulls you through the song :giveup: god, what a jam :giveup:

 

My unpopular opinions:

- It's a fantastic follow up to one of the best debut albums any artist has ever had. But it ranks third from the bottom for me, only The Fame and Chromatica are lower :bradley:

- I'm glad she's finally excluding songs like Telephone and Alejandro :oops: there was no need for nearly half this album to be present at every tour, residency, or concert :oops: 

¡Seguimos aquí!

It’s only like her 4th best album. 

It’s as good as ARTPOP (less skips but less good songs). 

Telephone’s video got old very quickly

True. Same hate for HBDUWM and DWAS. Same hate for Chromatica. Same love for ARTPOP and Joanne. Finally people with taste in this forum :lolly:

I always felt like gaga didn’t fully embrace it just because it was on tfm and didn’t really fit thematically.
And also, you know, among stan twitter

She kinda did let it do its thing by itself, but I think it’s because she was exhausted to the point that she was sick at the time. That’s exactly when she would pass out on stage

Teeth is underrated

Dance in the Dark is one of the best pop songs ever made. 

Bad Romance is iconic because of the music video. The song itself is amazing too but the video takes it to the next level.

1 DITD, SHICD, and Monster are all overrated (I still enjoy them though)

2 I think both versions of the album cover are kinda boring, not awful but a bit boring 

3 It was a good choice to go for Alejandro as a single instead of DITD as Alejandro is far superior 

4 Teeth and Speechless are two of her best songs 

5 The Telephone music video was the weakest of the era

The Fame Monster being an EP re-release of The Fame played a role in why people thought she was a has-been for years, and it also played a role in the overexposure that would come about in late 2011.

My unpopular opinion isn’t really to do with the album itself, but fans need to LET IT GO with this EP when’s she’s topped it creatively 3x over already. 
 

People only still hold it to high esteem because of it’s sales, back in the day I remember how much this fanbase HATED how “noisy” the songs were and how everyone only loved Monster and Telephone because they sounded the most like The Fame. 
 

I think Alejandro is probably the best song on the EP

that dark hair colour wig is DRY and ugly as hell, the Alejandro cover should’ve been the alt one

It's nowhere near the top of her discography :whitney:

Bad Romance is not a good opener, DITD would have been better with that intro.

Alejandro is overrated and these Ale-Alejandro Ale-Alejandro are sooooo long.

Telephone is one of her worst songs.

Speechless has some of her best lyrics she ever wrote.

SHICD has one of her best choruses. The eh eh eh eh ah ah ah ah are annoying though, and they specifically sound like something French kids would do around that period to do a sarcastic laugh, and this annoys me even more.

Teeth is one of her best songs, and to this day I don't think I've ever heard anything that sounds like it. It's amazing when she does it live too, so rock.

Some teeth love!

And people now love BTW but they also forget this forum was very divided when the album dropped and the leaks happened. A lot of people thought the album sounded very messy and rushed because she recorded a lot of it while on tour, and some people just didn’t care for the new sound but here we are years later looking at it through rose colored glasses. I love BTW and TFM but people forgot early reception to a lot of these albums.
