This is a cool game I always loved to do since The Fame Monster.  You basically find a song and see how it relates to another song on the album.  It could range from obvious to a bit of a reach.

 

Aura - related by 'ARTPOP' by only saying the word "ARTPOP".
Venus - related by Donatella by referencing oysters.
G.U.Y. - related to 'Venus' by referencing "Aphrodite"
Sexxx Dreams - related to 'Do What U Want' by both saying "don't stop the party"
Jewels N' Drugs - related to 'Do What U Want' by having features.  And 'G.U.Y.' and 'Applause' for spelling.
MANiCURE - related to 'Applause' by using tons of claps.
Do What U Want - Related to 'Sexxx Dreams' by both saying "don't stop the party"
ARTPOP - Related by 'Aura' by only saying the word "ARTPOP".
Swine - related to 'Venus' cause pigs and oysters are food.
Donatella - related by Venus by referencing oysters.
Fashion! - related to Gypsy by referencing a song from Born This Way.
Mary Jane Holland - related to Applause by having a live audience in the bridge.
Dope - related to 'Mary Jane Holland' by having its title inspired by a d--g.
Gypsy - related to Fashion! by referencing a song from Born This Way.
Applause - related to Mary Jane Holland by having a live audience in the bridge

How about Jewels n' Drugs and MJH + Dope for d--gs?

 

 

I didn't want to make AP sound like a d--g album..

Essence

Elaborate please
So many songs are in the same key leading up to each other (Aura, Venus / Guy, SD / MANiCURE, DWUW / Fashion!, MJH etc

Additionally, songs lead into each other. One song will fade out and another will fade in. Or the opening note of one note light be identical to the closing of another.

This album is a varied journey, with a framework of connection.

Ohhh, interesting.

Alright - I think I'll do my own now.

 

Aura To Venus "Cosmic Lover" Venus partially about space.

Venus To G.U.Y. because of Greek myth elements

G.U.Y. To Sexxx Dreams because it's about s-x

Sexxx Dreams To Jewels n' Drugs because of substance use "I've had a couple of drinks..." "...High as hell..."

Jewels n' Drugs To MANiCURE because both talk about love

MANiCURE To DWUW for the "body" talk / light s-xual lyrics "Put your hands all over my body parts"

Do What U Want To ARTPOP because DWUW fades out and ARTPOP fades in

ARTPOP To Swine as a tone shift, ARTPOP is postive and happy, but Swine is somewhat ragey and negtive

Swine To Donatella for the heavy EDM styles

Donatella To Fashion! because Versace

Fashion! To MJH because the only way she could've agreed to do a song with WILL.I.AM. is by being high...

Mary Jane Holland To Dope because Dope is the consquences of MJH

Dope To Gypsy because the bare piano ending of Dope and bare piano intro of Gypsy

Gypsy To Applause Mostly just bookends the album - Applause is the "encore" in a ways to the album

Awesome :applause:

And I feel like I should mention the real link of Fashion! to MJH I see - the lyrics "Look good and feelin' fine" relates to the "I think that I could be fine." lyric.
