Bambino 24,087 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Now that I have listened to the album a few times, I think I can post my first review of the songs and the album as a whole. 1. Aura - The new vocals are definitely growing on me. Even though I still think the demo vocals are stronger and better. - The chorus slays. - The final version as a whole is kinda more potential than the demo. I enjoy it better, for some reason. - Dance. Sex. Art. Pop. -The instrumental slays. 9/10 2. Venus - I kinda wish the intro was a bit different. - I still don't like the bridge of the pre-chorus. - The chorus slays. -"LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUVE" part is probably the most epic thing ever. - Considering the fact that this is Gaga's first production, well I think she did a very good job. After all, maybe this is how she imagined Venus would sound like. This is her vision. 7.5/10 3. G.U.Y - What kind of an epic intro. - The pre-chorus is almost as epic as the intro. Me gusta! - The verses and her vocals are excellent. 8/10 4. Sexxx Dreams - It's not very much different from the iTunes live version. I didn't really feel a lot of difference. - I wish she didn't add the "you were in my dreams" part to the chorus. It would've been so much better without it imo. - The bridge has yet to grow on me. 7.5/10 5. J&D - I'm not really a fan of this song's genre but this track is very good tbh. - I love the chorus and the rappers' parts. - Sometimes it sounds similar to something, but sometimes it seems similar to nothing. 7/10 6. MANiCURE - One of my very faves on the album. - The verses are super cool. - The chorus slays. - The "can you feel it?" part adds a lot to the song. - I kinda wish she kept the "heal me.." part after the choruses. 9/10 7. DWUW - The instrumental is everything. - Gaga's vocals in every part of this song is amazing. Even the "yeah" at the beginning of the song. - I like R. Kelly's part a lot. The man has great vocals. - Despite all that, it had to grow on me but now it's one of my faves. 9/10 8. ARTPOP - I'm still not so sure about how to feel about the way she sings the verses. But that's maybe because of the iTunes festival live version. - The chorus is amazing. - She should've kept the "hehe" part at the end of the song as well as made them louder in the second verse. - I also feel like she could've screamed harder in the bridge. 8.5/10 9. Swine - Probably my current least fave on the album. - Her vocals on this song slay tho. - The instrumental sounds like a remix. It's kinda noisy. 6.5/10 10. Donatella. - Okay, I called it a filler and I take it back. It's a very good song. - The way she says "Donatella" in the chorus is everything. - I still think this song sounds a TF-ish track. 7.5/10 11. Fashion! - I also called this track a filler and I take it back. It's not as bad as I thought it was. - The intro is totally amazing. What follows next is kinda shocking because the intro doesn't give you the feeling that this song is a whole dance pop track. I love the intro so much. - Her vocals are wonderful. - The instrumental is very good. - I love the "!" in the title tbh. 7/10 12. MHJ - One of my very faves on the album as well. - The bridge is legendary. - The verses are very catchy. - I loooove the instrumental. 9/10 13. Dope - All you need for a great for a great Gaga ballad is her her vocals and a piano. - It's a very emotional song. She sings it a deep powerful way. - I don't get the hate towards this song. It's amazing. 8.5/10 14. Gypsy - I loooooove it. Me gusta how it totally moves from from the soft beat to the dance beat. - I imagine it being used on a Disney animated movie. Why not? - "IAMIAMIAMIAMIAMIAMIAM A GYPSY" completes the song. - The outro is so cool. 9/10 15. Applause - The vocals slay. - The chorus slays. - A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E. - Her vocals on the bridge. - The instrumental is legendary. - A-R-T-P-O-P. 9.5/10 Honestly, somethings might change later. My faves might become my not-so-faves. Other songs might grow on me and so on. Overall, ARTPOP is a great journey from the very start to the very last second of it. It's a very good album. Thanks Gaga for this amazing album. I can't really relate the album's theme to all the songs but still, I enjoyed it. It was absolutely worth all the waiting.
