How many artists hype/describe their album as one thing only for it to underwhelm or sound completely different? You'd have to be a little daft to believe she was actually making the album of the generation.

Well, I didn't believe it. But it can't be ignored, it was said... and it didn't deliver. If 'BTW' were chock full of 'Bad Romances', or songs close to it's immense quality, it would probably be recognized as one of the albums of our generation. She was in the best spot to get the most recognition possible with a very broad audience, because she was at the highest peak of her career, when it comes to anticipation of a new record.

 

You can't expect people to not judge an album in accordance to what the artist said it would be. Album of the generation, no... better then, 'The Fame Monster'? Should have at least done that, and for me it didn't.

 

That's all I'm saying, in regards to my opinion.

Heavy Metal Lover >>> Britney's entire existence. :D

As Christina once sang with her flop of a single... 'You Lost Me'. :(

no-one does believe something as hyperbolic (well i assume it must have been because no way can someone be that deluded), but you do expect at least a solid 10/10 album out of a statement like that. an album to really be enjoyed (if you love pop at least), but i found the whole package a 6/10-whimper-going-on-7 at a push.

 

and i know you say a lot of artists, but it's annoying because if anyone is going to give us a 10/10 album of incredible stuff, it's her. she's the artist out of everyone who had the headstart to actually MAKING such an album.

I've never thought of Born This Way as pretentious in the slightest. If she'd gone all 4'33'' and recorded it all backwards or something to try and have this deep meaning to it all for the sake of it then I could get it but even then that's just down to what people are used to and are willing to accept and take in. Maybe my tolerance is heightened from being around SERIOUSLY pretentious work and people all day but even then I can't see how this majorly mainstream pop album is trying to fool anyone into think it's any deeper than it actually is.

 

plus people saying the title ARTPOP and her suggesting people capitalize it is pretentious is just BAFFLING to me. the people who call things pretentious are usually the ones who don't understand them.

Whilst it's a great song, "In The Zone" and "Blackout" are laughing at the sheer ridiculous.

 

What I find really strange is why Britney has even been brought into this! Can we not just appreciate two talented contributors to the Pop world?

jake considering some of the tracks on those albums, maybe going all 4'33" on it would be an IMPROVEMENT

 

at least with 4'33" you know what you're getting and the meaning behind that actually matches up. plus it's clever. point 1 to 4'33" lmao

Born This Way far ECLIPSED all mainstream pop albums last year. It wasn't even close.

True. The only album that did come close (for very different reasons) was Wynter Gordon's.

Weird, I was genuinely about to post this! :lol: Those two were my top 2 of 2011, quite a way ahead of everything else last year.

Nicola Roberts' and "Femme Fatale" also contribute to the list.

Lol at either of them being one of the best albums of 2011...

 

LEAK.

LET'S HAVE SEX. OH WHAT'S NEXT

Not Femme Fatale but certainly Cinderella's Eyes. Also 4, Stronger and Ceremonials .

Disagreed on "Femme Fatale".

 

The problem with "Ceremonials" is it kindah just sounds like one song.

4 was a TURD of the highest order. Not even worthy of being UTTERED in the same BREATH as Born This Way.
