Pants. All so samey :(

 

Dissapointed as everyone was raving about it. I love 3 songs, "Just Dance" "Love Game" and "Boys Boys Boys"

 

:lol: at the Gwen comparisons. I really don't see it :/ Yeah both made pure pop debut albums. Gwen's being ten times better may I add.

 

As if anything on this touches the likes of "What You Waiting For" "Cool" "Danger Zone" "Serious" and "The Real Thing".

Agreed. I like this album a lot (it fluctuates with each listen) but none beside Just Dance and perhaps Poker Face TOUCH those songs you listed.

I like the song "Just Dance" but comparing it to Gwen obviously Gwen is a better singer than her.

I pretty much agree with everything you just said, bar the comparison bit. ^_^

Not at all, I am not critiquing the album or saying Gwen is better. I just find the tone and general record incredibly similar to LAMB. It's basically a mash-up of early Madonna and LAMB. Look at all the comparisons the album is getting - it's not a bad thing. Anyone who says this album is experimental, different, unique... urm, they clearly needs to listen to more music instead of what is being released in the mainstream.

 

I see the early Madonna comparison production wise...her voice is alot better then Madonna's though. And I'd say it was on the same level as Gwen's...like others have said The Fame is all about pop while LAMB is all about trying to incorporate r&b, hip hop and pop. And the album is not experimental, maybe extremely good but not unique. I do think it is unique for someone trying to be big in America and to have their focus only on adult pop music instead of trying to put r&b and rap into the production.

 

And may I also add that quality of Lady Gaga is EXTREMELY refreshing to me.

 

Best album ever is pushing it a wee bit, also... it's disappointing if anything. I was expecting something far crazier.

 

 

Well, it isn't the best album ever I only thought that because every song was so instant. It is by for the best pop album to come out this year, and in my top 5 for the past couple of years. Very solid pop album, very few mistakes made...which is definitely saying something.

I love this album so much. I'm addicted.

 

I think these should be singles:

 

Eh Eh

Poker Face

Paparazzi

Beautiful Dirty Rich

WOW! SUPER album! I can't stop playing it!! :D Love ALL the songs... definitely the pop album of the year so far!!!

Well a few more full listens in, my rates have changed a bit:

 

Just Dance 10

Dirty Rich 10

Poker Face 10

Money Honey 10

Boys Boys Boys 10

Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) 10

Love Game 9

Paparazzi 8

The Fame 8

Again Again 8

I Like It Rough 8

Brown Eyes 7

Summer Boy 7

 

It really is an album of two halves.

I read that she's shooting the video for Beautiful Dirty Rich :o

Is it confirmed as the next single?

Not confirmed, but it's probable. It's a tie-in with the ABC dramedy Dirty Sexy Money, and it's filmed on the set of that show, so presumably the song will be used over an advert for the new season of that which will help the song to gain momentum in the US. It's certainly going to be 2nd US single.

I have listened to the album a few times and come to this conclusion...

 

10 Just Dance

09 Beautiful Dirty Rich

08 Boys Boys Boys (Possibly the campest song of the last few years? I think so)

07 Brown Eyes (I like the change in sound, although it doesn't really fit the tone of the record)

07 Poker Face (Being a recycled 'Just Dance' is slightly off-putting)

07 Paparazzi

06 Again, Again (Very Terra Naomi)

05 The Fame

05 I Like It Rough

04 Money Honey (EXACT same beat as 'Just Dance')

04 Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)

03 Summerboy

02 Love Game

The album absolutely clicked with me this afternoon. I now greatly like or love every song. Very good album.

All this gwen talk has got me listening to her albums today! I will be honest in saying I forgot how good her first one was. Her second, good in parts but overall weak. Needed more tracks like "wonderful life". more on the electro, less on the urban. "Early Winter" is a modern day breakup ANTHEM!

 

Anyway, back to the ga ga. Her album is getting better with each listen. But to be honest I actually expected more agressive tracks. Some of it is surprisingly bubblegum. Which isn't so much a bad thing, just unexpected. Still a solid debut and easily my favourite album of the year so far. Along With Jesse Mccartney's "departure".

 

Seriously, after listening to some of my least favorite tracks a coupel of times they grew. Not one ad song on this album.

 

 

I am going to rate again after letting th album digest for about two days. But this time I will try to be a bit critical :kink

 

Just Dance - 9.5 : This song is basically the gateway drug for her album, it is great but it gets alot better in the album. It also is a song that can be loved by almost every genre.

Love Game - 10 - I love the lyrics and how sexual they can be. The production is orgasmic, one of my faves on the album.

Paparazzi - 8.5 - This song is great, it reminds me of umbrella because of the papa papa paparazzi lol. I like how it is mellow and a bi psycho at the same time.

Beautiful, Dirty, Rich - 11 - I didn't like this song until I heard the HQ version, the chorus is killer, and the middle eight is great. Dirty Rich boys and their beauiful dirty rich toys. LOL <3

Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) - 8.5 - This is a grower, I like it but I like it even more the more I hear it. This is the only element of the album that reminds me of Gwen. The lyrics are alot like 'Cool'.

Poker Face - 11 This song is ORGASMIC. At first I was like WTF, but the second time I just fell in love with the production and vocals. The bridge is AMAZING. The vocal production reminds me a bit of Britney's Toy Soldier.

The Fame - 9.5 - The lyrics of this song is what I love, I also lve the upeatness of the production. For some reason parts of it remind me of 'Funkytown' lol!

Money Honey - 8.5 - The chorus is what saves this song, it is undeniable. Again the production and vocals are <3.

Again Again -8- This song is very different from the rest of the album...it reminds me a bit of Sarah Bareilles...it's refreshing though!

Boys Boys Boys - 11 - This song is what made me fall in love with this album, it is my fave on the album along with Pokerface, I Like It Rough and Beautiful Dirty Rich. I like the demo more though, but the album version is still extremely magical!

Brown Eyes - 8 - Probably my least favorite on the album, but it is still good. This is the closest thing on the album to a slow song...but just ebcause it is my least favorite doesn't make it not great.

Summer Boy - 8.5 - this track is very funk inspired, I like it...the chorus saves this one from being boring. It is very 80's Beach Boys I don't know how to explain it. :lol:

I Like It Rough - 11 - This song is the biggest grower ever, I f***ign love it. The arrangement the vocals, EVERYTHING is in your face and peeeerrrrfect.

 

OVERALL ALBUM RATING: 9.5

 

This album is probably my favorite album after Britney's Blackout and on the same level of greatness as In The Zone. Which is saying something for me because no other albums have come close to touching them. I can see wh people would either love it or hate it, but every track strikes a chord with it. LOVE.

Oh I don't have I like it rough!

Oh I don't have I like it rough!

 

Please someone send :P ^_^

 

I can send it to you on msn?

That'd be great!

I so want it since you rated it 11 :o

Been playing this album on repeat all day, love all the songs bar 'Summerboy', 'Brown Eyes' & 'The Fame' but even they are still good.

I think 'Beautiful, Dirty, Rich' could be a huge hit here in the UK if promoted well.

Album still amazes me :wub:

f***in' great album!
