Rollercoaster 2 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 But the 2nd volume may have contrasted as TFM did in comparison to TF. The only similarity is a loose theme and the album title. They ARE 2 separate albums. If BTW had been: Vol 1. Born This Way - Pre album Single Judas - Single Bloody Mary Bad Kids Highway Unicorn Electric Chapel - Single Government Hooker Vol 2. Marry The Night - Pre album Single Americano Hair Black Jesus Amen Fashion Scheiße - Single You & I Heavy Metal Lover - Pre album Single The Queen The Edge of Glory - Single It would have made the tour less dated, the singles would have performed better because we hadn't owned them all already, it would have drawn out the era to be less rapidfire. win win.

100percent 10 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) But we've seen that it works already with TFM lol Um...I dunno I think it largely depends on the chart performance of the first volume I actually still prefer ARTPOP as one album It seems the concept of two volumes separates the album and divide ARTPOP clearly into ART and POP It reminds me when Beyonce released Sasha Fierce in two CDs (Sasha and Fierce), the music critics thought it is unwise to divide it and makes the album inconsistent My English is bad hope you get what I mean I just think the promo plan, the concept of the album..seems incomplete if it is separated It is hard to incorporate one concept (ARTPOP) into two separate CDs Imagine if the two volumes are to be named ART and POP respectively and burqa is in ART, TEA is in POP In a TV show, the host says "Gaga is going to perform her hit single Burqa from ART of ARTPOP and TEA from POP of ARTPOP" :haha: Maybe I think too much Edited May 24, 2013 by 100percent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew 17 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Why people would be against 2 volumes is bizarre. She did it with TFM. The Fame was volume 1 and Monster was volume 2. Very incorrect. The Fame Monster is considered an album on it's own. It gets grouped into The Fame because the deluxe edition had the entire "The Fame" album on it, and therefore added to it's sales. But they are completely separate entities recorded at separate times and worked on by completely different people. I think it's safe to assume there won't be two volumes. If Gaga had that much material ready to go for this year, there is no way we would be entirely in the dark. There is no credence to this besides Helen's art, which means nothing. I don't think it is a bad idea, but it just won't happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didymus 34,379 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 The only reason for ARTPOP in two volumes is a commercial one.. It's smart, but so annoying, honestly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexxx 5,632 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Was the last BTWBall in Montreal?

Rollercoaster 2 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I highly doubt she would separate it into commercial and non commercial. The 2nd would struggle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollercoaster 2 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 If she had named it "The fame volume 2: The Fame Monster" Would it be any different? No. But she kind of did, like books, "The girl with ____" Trilogy, they all started the same and were parts of a set, however, they were also their own bodies of work. Just like TFM.

Karandr 150 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) I'm keen to have two "volumes" but why not just two discs in one case? She could have a double-sided album with two "front" faces? That way it doesn't matter if nobody wants to buy the ART side (if that even happens) because it's bolted onto the POP side Edited May 24, 2013 by Karandr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
