Didymus 34,379 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Well, if you have the time, could you expand? It's not my intention to paint my opinion as the only one and I'm always interested in hearing other people's opinions, so give it a go I agree with a lot of the stuff you've said, but disagree with other points. Overall a very good read! Well, with some points I agree, with some I don't, but it really was an interesting review, as it actually isn't the way how I see the album, and that's why it fascinates me. I obviously disagree with several key points Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Well, I'd disagree with Fashion!, but probably only about the disappointment part. You see, I agree that it musically doesn't really fit in with the rest of the album, probably because of the flow, but it still is a great 70's disco track, in my opinion. The track gives a big feel of nostalgia and it kinda makes you think of fashion not as a business full of skinny girls, c-----e, s-x and other sins, but rather as way to express your own self, something that is rather posh, yet innocent. The song itself, to me personally, feels like a glamorous, yet a fun and maybe a bit, erm, how do I say... old(?) couture. It feels like a reunion of a rich family, it feels like a chill and sunny day in the Old-town of Paris and it makes you just so darn fancy only by listening to it. Also, Fashion! is like a relief after that intense and hyperactive Donatella, it kinda brings the whole subject into a contrast, yet the songs are basically about the same thing - fashion. One is about the egocentric, stressful and a sinful lifestyle, and the other one is calm, slow and old-fashioned song about a happy life of rich people, who, well, enjoy shiny stuff, at least in my imagination. :haha: When talking about the song musically, it also rather fits in on the electronic scale as well. After the bright and a colorful first part, the song starts to build-up into an electronic ending, obviously a great transition to the upcoming Mary Jane Holland, as the last synths of Fashion! and the first ones of Mary Jane Holland fit quite well together. I don't know, you know, this song can't really be a disappointment for me as it never was meant to be an intense, emotional masterpiece in the first place. It's just a sunny and a laid-back song, put to ARTPOP in contrast to Donatella and maybe as a track to make the transition to Mary Jane Holland a bit smoother. And notice how the last part gets more intense and that sunny feel from the song suddenly disappears and that happy innocent rich life suddenly turns into a VERY sinful life, I mean, the 2 next songs are about d--gs... Anyways, this will not change your opinion about Fashion! in any way, but, well, you asked why I kinda disagree with you, and this is my own point of view And I actually kinda like the cover for ARTPOP, well... kinda Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didymus 34,379 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 It was interesting It didn't change my opinion, but I will listen to it differently the next time I give ARTPOP a spin ;) And I actually edited the part of the cover, because I didn't really make clear why I said it, so now it reads: "not because it's ugly, but just because it's like whut" I still can't believe that cover grew on me so much Anyways, this will not change your opinion about Fashion! in any way, but, well, you asked why I kinda disagree with you, and this is my own point of view Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didymus 34,379 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 It was hard I love the song and it was actually my favorite when I listened to ARTPOP for the first times. I probably would've given it an 8/10 if it weren't for the combination of the disappointing outro (in my opinion) Ã nd the fact that it seems to slow down the ARTPOP journey a little bit too much. But when the song comes on, I still dance it to it like I'm the most flawfree, classy, badass b---h who's ready to wow the world and slay the lessors with whatever sparkle I put on everything I'm wearing Meh, probably mentioned it a little bit too much.

Guest Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 And I actually edited the part of the cover, because I didn't really make clear why I said it, so now it reads: "not because it's ugly, but just because it's like whut" I still can't believe that cover grew on me so much It even GREW on you? Like, you said you still hate it And it's funny, because I used to actually almost love the cover, but now through time it downgraded for me so darn much And it still remains my favorite artwork of Jeff Koons ever But I suppose I never ever got kitsch in the first place, so that doesn't matter All I know is that it makes normal people either disgusted or indifferent, so way to go Koons, now even you can't make a product with your own made artwork on top sell millions, like you always do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
