Quark 7,098 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 o<(+_+)>o I think Gaga has many songs that are ahead of their time in all of her albums. But the entire Born This Way album was overall ahead of its time. And here's why: -I think Born This way was the first album to mix the past with the present and even the future in such a seamless way. Born This Way was the first album were you could clearly see major influences from decades such as the 80s and 90s but still sound modern and futuristic. Before this album, most of the music could be pinpointed to one specific era (60s,70s,80s,90s,2000s, ect.). Or you could even label most of the music as either modern or retro. However BTW its kind of its own thing despide it having many genres and or musical influences from the past. Now, its pretty common to hear songs with modern genres mixed with influences from the 70s, 80s, 90s ect. But before BTW, there just wasn't much of that.

JustPokeHerFace 2,564 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 That's why it won't be fully appreciated by people outside the fan base until a little while down the road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Goulding 8 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 It's a compilation of 80's/90's hits. The only "ahead of time" song is Heavy Metal Lover. Come at me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emvee 8,403 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I actually really don't think so. I love BTW, but it will remain encapsulated in its little BTW world forever and I'm ok with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimisaMonster 31,073 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 We made fun of Gaga for saying it was the album of the decade, maybe Gaga was right... Maybe in 2020 people will fully appreciate and see the epicness of the album :udidnt: Stream my new single, 💜"Heartbeat"💜, on Spotify! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasingGhosts 726 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I actually really don't think so. I love BTW, but it will remain encapsulated in its little BTW world forever and I'm ok with that. Thats how I think of it too. The album is 'ahead of its time' in terms of lyrics and song content and some of the musicality is obscure but nothing too game changing. Still remains my favourite Gaga album tho Born This Way > Joanne > The Fame Monster > The Fame > ARTPOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miel 15,009 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I've been thinking about this ever since the 'what albums were ahead of its time' thread. It's influences are definitely retro (classic rock and retro dance), and many of its themes and subject matter are incredibly bold and progressive and incredibly... American. But, as somebody said above, I feel like its encapsulated in its own little world. Music has been done like it, speaking broadly. However, nothing has really been like it, if that makes sense. It's such an odd album that I personally would see it as an obscure entity in itself, rather than solely comparable to other places in time. #Justice4HeavyMetalLoverImagine ARTROCK being the next album... :nooo: HML isn't even that good tho But man wow imagine artrock 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
