Back in 2014, you couldn't even have a proper discussion about this album without somebody shooting non stop with "DATED", "NOISY", "ARTFLOP", remarks. 

I never heard “noisy” as a description for ARTPOP, but it’s absolutely fitting.  lol Poor production was my main issue with the entire album.

Focusing on some of the positive, because I want to be less of a pissface:

Speaking broadly:

I admire her commitment to the era’s shtick(s). They didn’t all work imo, but you could tell she was not phoning it in. If anything, she was trying too hard (that approach appeals to some people, I suppose).

As far as the music itself:

I think DWUW w R Kelly is a very good song. 
I think Sexxx Dreams has a lot of replay value. 
I like parts of Fashion!
Sections of Aura make me shake my ass
The “I don’t speak German but I try” BTW reference in the finale of Gypsy made/makes me tear up a bit

She was speaking about the whole experience, not just the music. Either way, it doesn’t change the quality of the work. Also, her comment about it being the album of the millenium was obviously a joke that referenced her serious and controversial statement that Born This Way would be the album of the decade. 
Her ambitions were way too wide in comparison to what she gave us, and it clearly didn’t help her case, but it doesn’t make it more dated than her other albums… it actually is one of the few that actually tried to do something 

This. The whole "dated" concept is a retcon fans have given to the era to try and explain why the underperformance happened. In reality, the album critics were saying was dated was actually Born This Way (which isn't true either, but still). ARTPOP was also not entirely doing the same type of EDM other artists were doing. ARTPOP was primarily an electro-house/complextro album, while other albums were deep house, progressive house, dubstep, etc. mainly. The only songs that were really following these sonic choices were Gypsy and Mary Jane Holland.

No shade, sister, but how could it possibly be retcon when I and many others at the time felt it sounded dated upon release?

This word has lost all meaning within the mystic industry. 

Lorde, we have 80s and 70s inspired sonics all over streaming and radio platforms atm, but most will dub it as "retro" or "contemporary".

Some of the instrumentals have VERY compelling moments/elements but, as a whole…

the album is an immolated garbage truck driving through manure 

 

Oh fly away on your brush hoe and give us some peace :fthis:
