Kermit the frog 1,921 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 The problem with this album is that its about nothing. No matter how many meanings gaga assigns to it - it has no direction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VforVendetta 2,024 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Because those albums have great singles, they're likeable - they're all about the same (sub)genre while on ARTPOP you have J&D (trap/urban), MANiCURE (pop rock/trap), GUY (pure dance pop), DOPE (ballad), DWUW (Pop/R&B), Swine (pure EDM), Aura (Complextro, little bit of middle-eastern influence). Everything on ARTPOP is so different, it's almost impossible to like everything because it differs so much from eachother. Yeah, the media is telling people that Gaga's flopping. My brother, a Miley stan, keeps telling that Gaga is the biggest flop of 2013, that ARTPOP flopped and that she's not popular anymore. But when I say ARTPOP outsold Bangerz, he says that that's not true and that Miley is much more successful right now. The same happens with every LG album though, especially BTW. I am talking about music and ARTPOP is obviously the best out there. I mean Bangers doesn't even have another ppossible single choice after this one, its a trash. Prism has some potential hits left(according to others) but its full of fillers and TD reproductions. Beyonce album isn't selling singles but it'd moving albums which is the most important thing so I can't talk(I will in 3 months though when the whole era will have ended and the album won't have singles to promote it, it will be funny). Eminem has a Rap album and Pure Heroine is indie music so we can't compare them. So tell me, which album is subjectively better than ARTPOP, cause I don't see anyone. lol ARTPOP is in the bottom of iTunes and suddenly become a bad album .... give me break what a bullshizza are ur filthy mouths ****ting around :excuseme: Gaga WILL slay soon and u'll all deal with it Tell them! :lana: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady 748 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I am sure that Gaga will have in the future her 'Ray of Light', 'Confessions', 'Emancipation..', for sure. I'm more than sure about that. We have an AMAZINGLY talented artist here, she's most definitely going to have success again. It's just ups and downs all the time in people's lives and in their careers, nothing we can do about it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VforVendetta 2,024 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 The problem with this album is that its about nothing. No matter how many meanings gaga assigns to it - it has no direction.Why what direction does Beyonce have? Tell me one, since the album has the name of the artist and the songs have completely differnt theme directions. At least we know that ARTPOP is about mixing Pop with elements of culture + mixing the Pop culture of previous generations with EDM and staff. What do we know about Beyonce. The theme of ARTPOP is more of an advantage than a disadvantage in my opinion. It gives Haha the freedom to explore many different things into one album. The height of her popularity has long gone, similar to what happened to the careers of the artists before her. The cycle of fame simply passed by. However, it doesn't mean that she's completely irrelevant at this point. Irrelevant in terms of being not popular at all. A single which did rather well and an album which has sold more than a million in three months time aren't enough to dismiss Gaga's relevance. The third single might. And hopefully, we'd get a runaway hit with that one. One era doesn't dismiss noone's relevant though. Beyonce floped hard last era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VforVendetta 2,024 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 In my opinions ARTPOP still remains one of the best pop albums of the last times... They only made bad choises about it... For example, I love 'Applause', but for me it wasn't immediate, at first time I didn't like it, now I love it, one of her best song, but I needed time, and I know a lot of people that didn't like it immediately and lost interest, in my opinion for example for the first single of comeback she needed to play something more 'easy listen' to catch the attention in a big way...Applause definitely wasn't the problem. The song faced all the problems that BTW backlash, the Blackout, the Tour cancellation and the Katy comparisons brought and it still came successful. The public embraced the song in the end. Its not like they were generous or anything of course, Applause is pure slayage and it deserves every inch of its success and much much more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One era doesn't dismiss noone's relevant though. Beyonce floped hard last era. Good point. Beyonce, like Mariah, pretty much just sings vapid songs about love. Most overdone, ba--l subject in music (and generally no fun beats to redeem it, just slow R&B) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mills 446 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 One era doesn't dismiss noone's relevant though. Beyonce floped hard last era. In terms of irrelevance at this point, I think it could. Hence, the vital importance of the third single's role. If it under-performs, the more challenging it would be for ARTPOP to sell beyond 2 million worldwide. And the more it'd be highlighted how much public support she has lost since her last album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminem has a Rap album and Pure Heroine is indie music so we can't compare them. So tell me, which album is subjectively better than ARTPOP, cause I don't see anyone. Tell them! They're not, I didn't say that. I just said that ARTPOP has too much diversity which makes it unlikeable. PRISM is safe low- mid-tempo catchy pop songs (and Dark Horse). Bangerz didn't outsell ARTPOP, so I don't know why we'd include that one. Same with Pure Heroine. I said that ARTPOP has J&D, MANiCURE, Gypsy, DOPE, Applause, Swine, GUY, Venus, Aura, DWUW and the themes are so weird and the album isn't cohesive because of too much diversity. BTW was very cohesive by the way. The themes, production, etc. Yoü and I was different from the rest of the album, but that song is probably the most relatable song (without tons of metaphors) Gaga's ever written.

Bangerz is all over the place.TD was much more diverse in covering multiple genres, but Prism still does to a certain extent. It could have used a bit more diversity, as some of the songs blend into the others. Ballads are not genres of music. They belong on every album. People don't care if an album has different sounds and pulls from different influences. In fact, that's one of the biggest complaints you hear from the GP when buying albums. Music listeners are used to listening to their ipod playlists, made up of different songs from different genres and different artists. That's also what radio is, a big mix of music, and people complain if too much of one thing is played in any one hour. The majority of people don't want to listen to an hour of music that basically sounds the same from start to finish. Our brains have been programmed to want something different to keep the interest up! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitch 204 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 i think the GP are just bored of her atm, shes a very over bearing artist, as long as gaga is smart and plays her cards right she'll make a big comeback tho, i mean if madonna can comeback after erotica and AL (probably the most hated era by a pop star ever) then gaga can comeback after this LADY GAGA/madonna/katy perry/little mix/ariana grande/selena gomez/britney spears/taylor swift Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our brains have been programmed to want something different to keep the interest up! Yeah, but it's better to just keep it at sub-genres for that in my opinion. Most people whose fave track of the album is J&D, will hate the rest of the album. DOPE is just so random in the album, it doesn't make sense to me, but at least that's saved because it's after MJH and before Gypsy. There's not enough people with a taste so diverse to love J&D, MANiCURE, DOPE, Gypsy, Applause, Swine, Venus, Aura and DWUW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
