Love almost everything out so far for this CD.

DWUW
Venus






Applause

Venus isn't my favorite of what we've heard so far (That'd probably be Sexxx Dreams and the snippet of GUY has me intrigued) but I like it a lot. The pre-chorus is awwwwesome.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dOk03D-48c yes please

Venus and DWUW are easily her best since TFM.

Venus is a great song, I think it would be huge

album has leaked!

I am so glad she's baack to making good music.

Abum is really good.

ARTPOP (the title track) has to be one of her best songs. Amazing. GUY and MANiCURE are awesome. I'm a little bummed that the album isn't really a surprise (before the leak there are literally 2 songs I didn't know a thing about) but I think the album will keep growing on me.

'Gypsy' I think is my favorite right now. If the dance track had been removed from the song, I may call it her best song. That's not criticism, but I hope she performs this live with just a piano. Her voice really shines here.

'Dope' is also really good, 'G.U.Y' sounds very 90s pop to me (definite plus). I still need to hear 'Jewels N' Drugs', 'Donatella', 'Fashon!', and 'Mary Jane Holland'.

Yep, quite a bit better than Born this Way.

Gypsy, Manicure, G.U.Y, Artpop, Fashion and Dope are all standouts.

I like Venus, G.U.Y., Sexx Dreams, ARTPOP and Dope. MANiCURE and Swine are good too but second tier to those.

The rest I can do without, especially the fashion themed duo Donatella and Fashion! which are awful and probably the worst things she did so far. Even her/Heidi Montag old Fashion song is better than these two. Jewels N' Drugs and Aura are also a complete and utter mess, but at least they have something interesting.

Overall I think BTW is better for me.

lmao. Just No.

I'm pretty disappointed. The standouts are good, but there's too many weak songs. And the lyrics as a whole are pretty boring and <<<< The Fame and BTW. This is the most I've appreciated BTW.

It's good. Different than her other stuff. Less emphasis on earworm melodies.

Jewels 'N Drugs, Aura, DWUW are highlights.

There's no Scheibe, though.

My favorite Gaga songs are Poker Face, Paparazzi, Bad Romance and Heavy Metal Lover.

ARTPOP, Gypsy, GUY, MANiCURE and Sexxx Dreams are my faves on the album. Too early to say if any of them would qualify as one of my favorites from her.

I'm already bored with this album -.-

I'm warming up to it

Dope is my favorite

Do What U Want is still so good. I hope it's a huge hit.

Applause 130M AI!

I'm so over this album already

That's a career high, isn't it?

Also the album sold 58,000 copies first week in Japan, enough to debut at #1. The sales figure itself is mediocre, but considering western artists have been selling hardly any albums or singles in the market for over a decade, it's impressive.

The last western artist to have a #1 album in Japan, coincidentally, was also Lady Gaga with Born This Way (180,000) in May 2011 and Avril Lavigne's Goodbye Lullaby earlier that year. Before that... was Michael Jackson's This Is It in 2009.

#1 Albums (Western Artists)
2013 - ARTPOP (Lady Gaga)
2011 - Born This Way (Lady Gaga), Goodbye Lullaby (Avril Lavigne)
2009 - This Is It (Michael Jackson)
2008 - Hard Candy (Madonna)
2007 - Unbreakable (Backstreet Boys), The Best Damn Thing (Avril Lavigne)
2006 - Stadium Arcadium (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
2004 - Under My Skin (Avril Lavigne), Greatest Hits: My Prerogative (Britney Spears)
2003 - St. Anger (Metallica), 200 km/h in the Wrong Lane (t.A.T.u)

My favorite from the album is still easily Gypsy:

I gotta admit, after more than a few listens, I think I like Born this Way a bit better.

The Fame Monster - 9.5
The Fame - 9
Born this Way - 7
ARTPOP - 6.

feels like this is a big ol' flop

unfortunate, because there is some good material on here

just gotta ignore the lyrics

it's certainly better than prism

Wow. It's estimated to sell 250-275k this week. That's bad. Even less than Prism. Oh well, hopefully unlike Born This Way she could manage to have longetivity. The fact that this will struggle to hit Born This Way's opening week numbers make me really sad though. It's a great pop album. F it.
