BuzzJack Music Forum _ Lady Gaga _ Round 1 • Least Favourite 'ARTPOP' Album Track

Posted by: HausEveryWeekend Sep 20 2015, 10:13 AM



Back again, apologies for the huge delay. We now visit the latest full studio album from Gaga - the manic, crazed, frenzied ARTPOP. What it means, is anything you want it to be. The album came off the back of the huge Born This Way era, an era that spun hit singles, big album sales and a gigantic world tour. How would she follow the success of that? The answer, throwing everything and anything at the wall and seeing what stuck. The album divided opinion, tracks that people despised, grew to love and and everything in between. It became a messy campaign, singles without videos, promotion that didn't really work and it seemed like the public weren't here for the arty-pop she had to offer. Still it had middling success, with some songs becoming well-known Gaga anthems and others that sunk into oblivion perhaps never to be heard again.

So this is where you come in. Which of the tracks are you still loving and which deserve to be thrown out of the gagasphere? I am sure this series will be explosive, it seems we've all got something to say (good or bad) about this era..

First round, have your say~

Deadline: Wednesday evening.

Easily Jewels N Drugs, I hope Swine haters can hold off for a bit </3

Jewels n drugs easily

Jewels N Drugs too. Maybe not the worst song of her career, but it's certainly down there.

I refuse to vote anything that was produced/co-produced by Zedd.

Posted by: JosephBieber Sep 20 2015, 03:58 PM

Jewels N Drugs going first would be a travesty. Fashion gets my vote.

I'll have to give the album another listen but I remember 'Jewels N Drugs' being pretty bad.

'Venus', 'G.U.Y', 'Sexxx Dreams', 'Do What U Want', 'ARTPOP', 'Swine', 'Donatella', 'Gypsy' and 'Applause' are the only ones I remember properly liking, but none are up there with her best.

'Penus'

Seriously. Horrific.

Jewels N' Drugs

You guys need your ears clearing out. I feel bad for you voting Jewels N Drugs when the abominations that are Swine and Fashion are sitting on only 3 votes.

I'll pray for your souls.

THANK YOU Joseph/April. Finally some sanity in this place. As for everyone else..:

I voted Venus though?

or did you accidentally miss me & Jonjo out?

Posted by: J▲hq Sep 21 2015, 04:49 PM

Voting for Venus could only be classed as 'sanity' if it was a vote for your favourite.

Posted by: liamk97 Sep 21 2015, 06:44 PM

After re-listening, I've decided there's two worse offenders than 'Jewels N Drugs' - one of which is 'MANiCURE' but I see I'm very alone in that.

'Jewels n' Drugs' easily.

I really did not like 'MANiCURE' initially but it slowly crept on me and now I love it. I find it too much and quite sickly at times, but oddly entrancing and enjoyable. Same goes for most of the album actually, lol.

MANiCURE would be quite low down my ranking if I were to do one I think. Jewels N Drugs would be at the top end drama.gif

So deluded. puke.gif

'MANiCURE' is great! I think it's in the top 5 of this album for me, but I don't think that really says too much really.

EDIT: Oh and me and FROOT are clearly the only sane Gaga fans on here. sleep.gif

You've pretty much hit the nail on the head with that description in regards to the album. I've struggled to make my opinion on it but that's pretty much it - to certain degrees, all the songs feels tacky, uninspired and a complete contrast to the impression I got of what this album was going to be, yet, for a handful, there's something that keeps me going back to them. I know Gaga was trying to present her view of fame now that she'd actually experienced it big time, but it still felt like the result of the album was incredibly lacking in direction and meaning. Plus I can't un-associate the era with that horrid cover art and shockingly bad single release scheduling.
