Bambino 24,266 Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 So why not be up front about it in the OP, that these are your feelings, instead of projecting it on other people. Own it, hun! ;) I didn't invent this. Go to anything about ACT II and read the comments :) And why not give your opinion on this instead of focusing on someone else's opinion?

Easto 143 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 The issue is, fans are too bent on the charts and can't enjoy the music, the fashion and Gaga in general. Yeah this era had a rough patch, but Gaga is back on her game now and I could care less how G.U.Y does on the charts because I love the song, the video is amazing, and Gaga has been doing what she loves. Meanwhile the only problem I have on ARTPOP is Fashion! That song is trash. The rest of the album is good, and it's my favorite Gaga album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
umaru 155 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 half the songs feel like fillers this tbh. I probably regularly listen to 4 songs off ARTPOP and skip the rest unless I'm in the mood. I'm in no way done with the ARTPOP era and would enjoy seeing future performances/projects, but I just don't feel like the music has the same longetivity and freshness that her past albums were able to create even months after their release.

Tokyo Rose 1,475 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 And why not give your opinion on this instead of focusing on someone else's opinion? I put a lot of effort into explaining why I don't like ARTPOP just a few days ago, but it's kind of wasted on a site like this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miranda Sings 1,705 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 It depends. ARTPOP as an album? I love it. Apart from JnD, I rarely skip a track. It's everything I wanted it to be. As an era? Eh. Great videos and fashion, but the messiness has been a bit off-putting. I realize, however, that this isn't Gaga's fault. She's had a lot of trouble with management and others on her team and we shouldn't blame her for things like the Venus single switch and the DWUW video. At the end of the day, I love ARTPOP and Gaga.

Luck 133 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I don't have any issues with ARTPOP. It's the fans that are the issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gagadisiak 556 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I don't have any issues with ARTPOP. It's the fans that are the issue. I agree the fans made hate ARTPOP even more lol it's stupid but it's just negativity . that why i don't read anything related about Gaga outside Gagadaily . This fanbase is a mess . I wish Gaga take another 2 year break and kill her career and be what she want to be and not what the fans want . Little Monsters are now Ungrateful ****s . Où est-tu ma Salope ?

Girrr 1,086 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I've loved it. I'm a tad bitter at how the fans perpetuate problems, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VasilisVas 5,164 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 The music and hype definitely did not live up to expectations (for me at least). If Gaga considers this her best work to date and will be hard to top it, I'm scared to hear what her upcoming music will sound like. The only thing I've liked about this era so far is the GUY ARTPOP short film. The Applause video was a disaster (in my opinion). Although I find most of the album very boring, I do like about 3 or 4 songs. Sadly though, even the few songs I do like got boring very fast. TF. TFM, and BTW had songs I could listen to on repeat for endless months without getting old. ARTPOP, however failed to do that for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson123 38,253 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I don't like the music. There are so many songs on ARTPOP that I skip or that I find dumb because of the lyrics. I feel that this album is a step down from what Born This Way was. Lady Gaga, to me, always got better with each album, and I got high expectations about this album because of the way she described it. There are songs like GUY and the amazing Do What U Want that I actually like a lot, but there are also many tracks that I dislike (Jewels N Drugs, MANiCURE) or that I skip after certain amount of time because it gets repetitve or dumb (Aura, Sex Dreams, Venus, ARTPOP) and of course, there's also songs that are cool to listen to but the vocals or the lyrics are too high or overall annoying (Swine). I just think that the album is not what I expected it to be (in a bad way) and she just recorded something for fun, or for her fans.. because some of the lyrics here have so many jokes that only fans would appreciate (Aura, Venus, Gypsy, Donatella). But eh.. I feel like Gaga just went back to "The Fame" music, and it's not what she should be doing right now. Or I guess it's just not my cup of tea and I listen to The Fame Monster and Born This Way more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew98 0 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I don't have any problem with ARTPOP . And I'm pretty sure I haven't posted anything negative about it. I just want MORE MORE MORE MORE because I'm not patient. Her music always gives me such a rush that I just want more of the high feeling that you can only get when listening to brand new AMAZING music.

Poker 3,712 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 the second half. It's SO GOOD till ARTPOP. After that it's all fillers (except MJH) oh and Jewels N' Drugs Kindness rules all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allison M 357 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I love ARTPOP. The only thing I do not like about the album is that there isn't a main theme imo. I'm sure for Gaga there is, but it's not as easy for us to follow I guess? The whole idea of "ARTPOP can mean anything" idk. But I love the flow of the tracklist. I don't want her to move on quite yet. But I will say that the era has been my least favorite. Everything she has given us is amazing, but everything else has been pretty rough which has left a bit of a sour taste and outlook on the era as a whole... Like the media tearing apart everything she does, people whining about the charts, the blackout, me terrified for Gaga's mental/emotional health, etc. So it's not really ARTPOP or Gaga or performances, etc. It's everything else that brought it down. And it makes me sad for Gaga. It's hard to be excited for, enjoy, celebrate, and be proud of something that everyone is tearing apart in anyway they can. ARTPOP is great, but now I feel like it lingers of depressions, media hate, fan arguments on it's success... it just makes me sad for Gaga. And now I completely understand her "fear" of releasing something that she put her whole heart into and is so sacred to her. It's safe with her, but once it's released it's like putting it in the center of a war zone. It just hasn't been smooth and I don't blame people for wanting a fresh new start. I still think this album has a lot to offer and that Gaga has much more she wants to show us. So in that regard I don't want it to end yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
