Texas HoldEm 5 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 DWUW is my least favorite song we've heard in full so far so I'm not here for the Venus shade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanceInTheFlames 154 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 The last review brings up a lovely point. People are clearly expecting a lot from Gaga, especially after their general love for DWUW. So the harsh reviews while sometimes rude are at least rooted on a general high expectation for her music.

Lord Axel 493 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 What people are missing is how stylistically unique and important this song is. The song transports me to 70s/early 80s space rock/disco down to its core. Not just in the Space as a theme and spacey synths and alien voices, but the melodies sound straight from that era. Not to mention this is the kind of Bowie/glam rock-esque song Gaga was born to make. You can just tell how this is truly the kind of music she wants and loves to make. It's richly inspired while being unique and if people are going to throw negativity/overlook its greatness then whatever. They can pass on an epic song and I will enjoy popping my *** to it like a space hippie till the end of days.

Jester 6,197 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Venus is perfect and they're just too close-minded to see that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
half psychotic 79 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 "It's worrying, almost heartbreaking really, that this piss-poor, messy descent into self-parody was ever in the running for the second single from 'ARTPOP'." Well damn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PdogtheDaibutsu 717 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I can't believe some of those "critics" actually have a job. Venus is literally a explosion of passion and craziness that gaga said ARTPOP was going to be about anyways. Why do some critics always think gaga's song have to be easy listening and uniform? They should know she is an experimental artist Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaga is Life 90 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Some of that's a bit mean Piss-poor tho. Venus is piss-poor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VforVendetta 2,024 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Popjustice's review is harsh but I'd say it's the most accurate in terms of the actual SONG. In terms of the concept, Sonic Reverie's review is spot-on. Many said the same about BR and look at it now! Venus is definitely one of Gaga's best and most daring moments and those dichotomous reviews prove that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kupo 201 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 This was...expected. Fans need to learn that just because something is different doesn't automatically make it good. Yes, much forward-thinking art is unappreciated in its time. But some forward-thinking art isn't forward-thinking so much as not-thought-out and slap shod. Like, for starters, this song is definitely "weird," but from a production standpoint there's nothing THAT adventurous here. Overall, it's an song odd for Top 40, but she hasn't suddenly turned into Animal Collective or something. This song is messy. Now, that's part of its charm--this is the campest song she's had since Highway Unicorn, so its earnest bigness and messiness sort of add to the charm. But it's still a flawed song, and that was going to be obvious, and it was going to be talked about. IF this goes through any sort of critical reclamation, it will be because more people embrace it through that camp sensibility. Not because it's suddenly held up as a beacon from a compositional or production standpoint. I enjoy Venus, it will be a fun deep-cut curio for her, I'm sure. But single material it was and remains not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebit 6,068 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 These reviews are actually more positive than I thought they'd be. The only one who really dragged her is popjustice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
