ARTPOP SUCKS lol. Jeezuz what happened to this woman. Her Fame Monster album was one of the best, most concise killer pop tunes delivered in 8 succinct pop gems with hooks that lodged in the brain like sharpnel. Now she's an overblown hype machine with little stuff to back up.
Trite concept. trite songs although while Applause grew on me and Do What U Want is a genuinely good step in the right direction, all the other songs are just overblown mess with her singing reduced to wailing and vibrato more annoying than Ayumi's. I don't have to talk about the string thin concept of art-pop. Just because you drag big name artists to the album does not necessarily justify her "reverse Warholian experience" like WTF is that suppose to mean anyway other than pretentious. I'm prepared to swallow this bollocks if the music is half as good but sadly they're not.
Gaga was a force to be reckoned with back 2-4 years ago something brave and somewhat reliable delivery of pop pleasure. But even then, now she can't deliver the pop aspect, let alone the bloody art.
