Posted October 13, 20222 yr So! The latest thread about overrated album tracks got me thinking: Joanne is terrible, but people don't seem to really tak about it these days. It's like they forgot about it, and I imagine that's what GaGa's teams wants. So! I went searching for new reviews, and found THIS TANTALISING one from 2021. It says, Stars: 1/10 "From her first three albums, we see Lady Gaga as this perfect Dance-Pop/EDM legend who couldn't stop making bangers...and then we have 2016's Joanne?! Joanne is undeniably her weakest and most boring album to date, with songs that were demos taken from Taylor Swift's Red Album and turned into weak, inconsistent country pop songs that don't match with Lady Gaga's daring image. The songs were fine, but they didn't sound like a song Lady Gaga would make. For now, I'm sticking to her first three albums and Chromatica (since they sound like her). " OMG. Did you see what it just CLAIMED?! The review claims that GaGa's Joanne album is actually msde up of TAYLOR SWIFT'S DISCARDED DEMOS!!! Obviously, Red is Taylor's best ever album, so discarded tracks could still be good, but still!!! Did anyone know about this?!
October 13, 20222 yr i don't really get this thread but i don't think Joanne is that bad. i see the vision and although it may not be everyone's cup of tea, I think it really sits well in Gaga's discography. She has always been a risk taker and i think it's possibly her most polorizing era (certainly musically interesting).
October 13, 20222 yr I don't honestly think Joanne is that bad, it's consistent and by and large the songs are good. I get the sense that reviewer just wants her to do the same thing over and over again like a robot, it was obvious by the point of ARTPOP that she was starting to run out of ideas and inspiration with the whole dance-pop thing and it acted as a nice palette cleanser.

October 13, 20222 yr It definitely isn't a 1 star album lmao. It's weak compared to her other albums because the standouts aren't as high as pretty much all of the other eras but it is consistent. The lows on this album however are some of her absolute worst: Just Another Day, Come to Mama.. unlistenable for me :drama:
October 14, 20222 yr Author The album is terrible! Whilst you're right about it being a nice change of pace after the abysmal ARTPOP, where she'd ran out of ideas, the end product was just an absolute mess. Apparently she was even using Taylor Swift demos to make it!

October 17, 20222 yr As I suspected... Not even her haters who parasitize newspaper offices would review Joanne giving it only 1/10
October 17, 20222 yr "Everybody's got to love each other Stop throwin' stones at your sisters and brothersMan, it wasn't that long ago we were all living in the jungle So why do we gotta put each other down When there's more than enough love to g-g-go around? Come to mama Tell me who hurt ya There's gonna be no future If we don't figure this out Dude in a lab coat and a man of God (Come onto mama), oh, (come on) ma-mama Fought over prisms and a forty-day flood (Come onto mama, come on, mama, ooh) Well, I say rainbows did more than they've ever done So why do we gotta fight over ideas? We're talkin' the same old shit after all of these years Come to mama Tell me who hurt ya There's gonna be no future If we don't figure this out Oh, come tomorrow Who are you gonna follow? There's gonna be no future If we don't figure this out Psychic guru catches minnows in the harbor (Come onto mama, come on, mama) Everyone tells him he should work a little harder (Come onto mama, come on, mama) hey, man, get to work! Catch 'em! They all tell you that freedom must be bought But, baby, he's already caught 'em So why do we gotta tell each other how to live? The only prisons that exist are ones we put each other in Come to mama Tell me who hurt ya There's gonna be no future If we don't figure this out Oh-oh, come to mama Who are you gonna follow?

The only prisons that exist are ones we put each other in Why do we gotta tell each other how to live? Look what that rainbow did Ooh-hoo, woohoo-ooh-hoo, woohoo-hoo Ooh-hoo, woohoo-ooh-hoo, woohoo-hoo Ooh-hoo, woohoo-ooh-hoo" The most Christmassy, non-Christmas song ever tbh.
