rslayer 0 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 What material did Koons use for the sculpture? The finish is amazing. Yeah. That's what I thought of the BTW cover. And yet everybody hated it. And now it's the opposite with this. Oh, I agree with you on the BTW cover. Buuut I'll say that it made a lot more sense once we heard the full album. It matched the music so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gagaloo911 12,959 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 And for all of you reductive b*tches claiming GaGa looks like Nicki on the cover: GaGa used that wig long before Nicki was ever even popular or used the one that's similar to it. Poker Face came before Nicki's career, which is where Gagz originally used the wig. :ARTPOP: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAMROD 104,848 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) Odd that you say that, general consensus loves the cover. I consider myself one of those slightly-off screwed stans, and I disliked this :haha: I think if somebody can articulate why they dislike the cover, without it just being flat out anger and b---hing, then it's justifiable (I feel like that didn't happen with BTW, so hopefully there's enough actual thinking this time around with ARTPOP). Yes, I do appreciate different opinion that are well structured that yours have. But some other people just being way too, how do i say it, picky? It just seems like they just looking for mistakes than to see it as what it is. It feels like Gaga just need to be crucified for the littlest spot on the white canvas, yomsayin?

FrozenKookie 2,638 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 It's my favorite. But more than that, my brain is already running WILD with her intentions behind it. WE KNOW GAGA. She never goes for convention, order and genericness. They deliberately twisted the font so it's nearly illegible. The alternating pattern of the B&W figures and the burst of colour from the Botticelli painting is dissonant and jarring, like the past mixing with the present, painting and sculpture. It pulls your eyes to the work of art in the middle. And oh wow, Jeff Koons created such a masterpiece. It's bold, attention-grabbing, frustrating, beautiful, unconventional, collage of a burst of ideas. It's all of these things at once. Congratulations, Gaga. Thank you. You make me like the cover more. I've just realized like seconds ago before reading this while staring at the cover that it's really damn fun seeing these fans pissed big time by it. These comments even on ggd. Fantastic :clap: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zexion_armando 241 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Good point. I'm sure whatever idea behind it is actually intelligible and fantastic. At least I hope so. 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!" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coreysmith 0 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I think it's gorgeous! I think it's one of those things where you can find a new detail in it every time you look at it! I think it'll definitely be an awesome cover for stores to make gigantic promo prints of, cause it'll grab so much attention :D yasss gaga Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenKookie 2,638 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. Nobody can dictate what is right or what is wrong for Gaga, even her fans somehow. :clap: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
