HausOfMiklaus 1,803 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I was witnessing many people on the verge of breakdown on twitter, and I suddenly realized that sooo many of her fans wouldn't let her make this the album cover if they had been in charge at Interscope. It suddenly reminded me of the story Gaga told about The Fame Monster cover. She said that when she showed the cover to close people at her label, they were worried cause they didn't think that it was pop enough. And she asked them to leave the questions of pop to herself. People should do the same: it's cool to see objective criticism and subjective opinion expression, but when people start pointing at some promo pics and insisting that they should've been the cover I really get mad: can't we all agree Gaga has a better idea of what to put on the cover. I personally like the style: I am very excited it's not just the photo, the whole idea of a puzzle+sculpture+photo fascinates me. From the marketing standpoint, it has it all to be the eye-catching cover, and it seems really different from the other covers. Our goal in this era is a wild and decisive sprint from the sameness which is threatening the very beautiful nature of pop music. This is where consumerism and commercial issue are really dangerous - not in the idea of selling the song to a famous pop singer, as the Infected Mushroom have stated, but rather in the situation when in order to achieve commercial success people are ready to make similar and standardized music which is being put on the airwaves. Gaga did it great, she just doesn't wanna be the same. Can we have more forumers like you, please? I think you got exactly what she was going for with the cover. So thank you. :staymad: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rslayer 0 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 You know it won't be though. When asked about the cover, Gaga today said "The album represents my ideas of art and pop. You see, I live for pop, and I love for art. So the two coming together in the cover make absolute sense. I'm the art, I'm the pop. Hence why I am in the forefront, with a ball of art, and a hair of pop. The rest of the picture is of art pieces, with my name, aka pop, cut in. Duh!" I'm really not criticising your view/opinions in any way, but I just wondered: are you enjoying any of the new material from Gaga so far? It's just that you always seem to dislike it, so I wondered. No offence meant, truly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that you always seem to dislike it, so I wondered. No offence meant, truly. The musical material? For the most part, yes. Applause is good (took a couple of listens to enjoy it), Aura is great, Swine is great, Sex Dreams is great, ARTPOP is okay. I just hate J&D, MANiCURE is boring, and I get kind of sad listening to I wanna be with you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clamchwder 0 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I hope gaga realises something seeing that TFM is trending on twitter. That was her most polished sleek yet controverisal, attention grabbing, not losing design aspects but still freaking weird for pop and screams gaga. And everyone loved it. i really cant get over the freak of a font and how messy ARTPOP looks like. Where's the techhh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryTheNight 35 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I realised the thing annoying me is the direction of the light on the photo and how much shadow its creating, it should be more from the front , but meh, cant get everything you want. :P I LOVE LOVE LOVE the pink font and the whole concept and imagery altogether though. also does this mean when she says venus de milo she actually meant to? haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
