May 31, 20205 yr plastic doll is just so remedial by gaga's standards. a heavy handed metaphor about being a doll? the production makes up for it in a way but the lyrics? nah.
May 31, 20205 yr I'm so surprised by the middling-low placings for 'Fun Tonight' :( Upon first listen I immediately thought "this is the Edge Of Glory/Dance In The Dark/Gypsy" of this album (i.e. the big fan favourite).
May 31, 20205 yr plastic doll is just so remedial by gaga's standards. a heavy handed metaphor about being a doll? the production makes up for it in a way but the lyrics? nah. It reminds me of something Ava Max / Kim Petras would release. I find it way too generic for Gaga.
June 1, 20205 yr Author It reminds me of something Ava Max / Kim Petras would release. I find it way too generic for Gaga. That must be why it hasn't fully clicked with me yet :kink:
June 1, 20205 yr I think I need directing to this "big chorus" in Plastic Doll because I'm not hearing it.
June 1, 20205 yr Finally my first rankings 01 Sine from Above 02 Rain on Me 03 Free Woman 04 Babylon 05 1000 Doves 06 Replay 07 Enigma 08 Alice 09 Stupid Love 10 Sour Candy 11 Plastic Doll 12 Fun Tonight 13 911 The bottom 4 I'm just not getting so far. They are still good but that's what you expect from 8/10 songs. Sour Candy has been growing on me a little though, otherwise it would've been 12th. The only thing I want is to dance in a CLERB to Free Woman
June 1, 20205 yr 911 is such a massive grower. I think I need directing to this "big chorus" in Plastic Doll because I'm not hearing it. Oh dear!

June 3, 20205 yr 1000 Doves and Plastic Doll are definitely the weak links here. My absolute faves are Rain On Me, Stupid Love, Free Woman, Replay, Babylon & Fun Tonight!
June 3, 20205 yr 1) Babylon 2) Enigma 3) Rain On Me 4) Stupid Love 5) Replay 6) Alice 7) Sine From Above 8) Free Woman 9) Sour Candy 10) Plastic Doll 11) 911 12) Fun Tonight 13) 1000 Doves Babylon and Enigma are my definite faves now Alice, Replay and 911 have been the biggest growers and Free Woman and Fun Tonight have kinda gotten less interesting as the days go by All the top 7 are incredible
June 3, 20205 yr 1. Enigma 2. Rain On Me 3. Replay 4. Free Woman 5. Alice 6. 911 7. Fun Tonight 8. 1000 Doves 9. Babylon 10. Sour Candy 11. Sine From Above 12. Plastic Doll 13. Stupid Love OMG that was hard and I still think it could change too But Enigma is the ONE for me right now.
June 3, 20205 yr 01 - rain on me 02 - babylon 03 - 1000 doves 04 - alice 05 - sine from above 06 - 911 07 - free woman 08 - enigma 09 - fun tonight 10 - stupid love 11 - plastic doll 12 - replay 13 - sour candy i think that's it - babylon + rain on me have fought for 01 :wub:
June 4, 20205 yr Now I've fully sat with the album: 01. 11.0 911 02. 10.0 Alice 03. 10.0 Babylon 04. 09.5 Free Woman 05. 09.0 Replay 06. 09.0 Rain On Me ft. Ariana Grande 07. 08.5 Sine From Above ft. Elton John 08. 08.0 Enigma 09. 07.5 Stupid Love 10. 07.0 1000 Doves (Piano Version) 11. 07.0 Sour Candy ft. BLACKPINK 12. 06.5 Fun Tonight 13. 05.5 1000 Doves 14. 03.0 Love Me Right 15. 02.0 Plastic Doll This album is such an experience. I overlooked the interludes at first but they're so necessary and helpful breaks to help section off the album into acts. The majority of this album is impressive with Alice, Babylon, Free Woman and Rain On Me being major highlights before arriving at the mother of them all: 911. My opinions on Plastic Doll and 1000 Doves hasn't really changed and I think they should both be bonus/deluxe tracks instead. They're so generic. Saying that, the Piano Version of 1000 Doves is sublime, oh my god. I urge anyone who hasn't heard it, to give it a try. Enigma, Free Woman and Fun Tonight have really grown on me too. I love this album so much, already. :wub: Edited June 4, 20205 yr by StupidLove
June 4, 20205 yr 01 | Rain On Me (with Ariana Grande) - 11/10 02 | Free Woman - 10/10 03 | 911 - 10/10 04 | 1000 Doves - 10/10 05 | Sine From Above (with Elton John) - 10/10 06 | Sour Candy (with BLACKPINK) - 10/10 07 | Plastic Doll - 9.5/10 08 | Alice - 9.5/10 09 | Fun Tonight - 9.5/10 10 | Enigma - 9/10 11 | Replay - 9/10 12 | Babylon - 9/10 13 | Stupid Love - 8.5/10 14 | Love Me Right - 8.5/10 Replay has really grown on me, as has Sine From Above, their both epic tbh. Love Me Right is very sweet but I can see why it wasn’t included on the standard edition. Shocked how the lead single is now easily the weakest link on the main album despite still being a BOP. Such an incredible effort and honestly one of, if not, my FAVOURITE album(s) of all-time. :heart:

June 4, 20205 yr Now I've been listening to the album pretty much non stop for a few days, I've had a shuffle. 01. Rain On Me 02. Babylon 03. Replay 04. Stupid Love 05. Sour Candy 06. 911 07. Enigma 08. Alice 08. 1000 Doves 09. Free Woman 11. Sine From Above 12. Fun Tonight 13. Plastic Doll I'm finding it really hard to pick between the top 3 for my favourite. Rain On Me I love for the lyrical content and the meaning as I can really resonate with it so that's the only reason I've out edged it against Babylon and Replay. The whole album is very solid though, the production is so slick and smooth for a dance album, I just love it. Gaga's vocals are just simply amazing and totally on point, there is just nothing to fault at all, it compliments the music even more. Even though I love Stupid Love, I am starting to think Babylon may have been a better lead single perhaps. Edited June 4, 20205 yr by Supercell
June 4, 20205 yr Author Sine From Above so low for you Supercell! :( I think I need to do my ranking again tbh. Will attempt it on the weekend because I'm sure a lot has changed.
