45. Lady Gaga – The Fame Monster

 

It’s glamorous, it’s Gothic, it’s the runway, it’s a dance floor — The Fame Monster is everything. Lady Gaga was in her early 20s when she dropped this modern pop masterpiece, a confident album with a clear vision. Gaga knew her destination, and knew exactly how she wanted to get there — and she succeeded.

 

Underneath the pastiche and glitz that defined Lady Gaga of 2009 are moments of vulnerability from our Stefani Germanotta. Throughout the album, she touches on themes around body image, autonomy, and fear, never glamorizing but often dramatizing the harder, darker parts of life. The Fame era overall was especially focused on exactly what the album title suggested — the joys and horrors of modern fame — and Gaga’s flair for the theatrical made her the perfect mouthpiece for the conversation.

 

Beyond the headline-making moments, though, is a great album that has persisted in relevance in the years since, and an album that laid a certain groundwork for many women in pop to follow. The opening riff to “Bad Romance” has achieved iconic status, “Telephone” saw her join forces with Beyoncé, and “Alejandro” feels as urgent now as it did then. Our Mother Monster is a storyteller, and The Fame Monster is her best tale yet. — M. Siroky

While I don't think it's personally her "best tale" (that is the Born This Way album), there's no denying that objectively and away from the sentiments I hold with BTW that this was the perfect era. A great review and I love how it touches on how deep the album goes in exploring some complex stuff. Great placement too - I only count 7 other female albums above it?

 

Also YES at that #1 :clap: :clap: :wub:

Happy 13th birthday to this iconic project!

HB :wub: I genuinely had a dream about this era last night LMAO. She was doing a live televised performance and I was watching it with my friends. She said "I've just broken up with my boyfriend" so I cried but then said "THAT MEANS LÜC IS NEXT SO BORN THIS WAY IS COMING"... Then Telephone started playing and everyone screamed.

 

~I need to get a life~

:o wow

 

I think I have had dreams about her like once or twice only, which is weird. Of course I don't remember any of them now.
