Best show of the year tbh.

Genuinely cannot remember the last time I was so infatuated with an album. And it's Beyonce. http://media.giphy.com/media/KuzN7sdQLjabm/giphy.gif

Completely on the Rocket ship now, so good. So smooth. :wub:

NO ANGEL IS AN 11 AS WELL. This album, folks.

It could easily fit into any season. It's so joyous, euphoric and easily relatable. I'm with Jake, potentially her best single yet. :wub:

She hadn't made a good album until 4 (which was still a massive meh) but this is just NEXT LEVEL innit. I've been waiting for one of the big pop ladies to have their Ray of Light moment. Beysus etc.

Wanting people to experience your album as a cohesive piece of work. PRETENTIOUS HIPSTER.

I just can't believe she made this album. It really is that good. Also, it sold 400k+ in just over one day in the US. Insane.

Caroline Polachek made No Angel? MY GOD. :wub:

This is fantastic. I've been converted to the CAUSE.

01 Dance in the Dark 02 Heavy Metal Lover 03 Bad Romance 04 Bloody Mary 05 So Happy I Could Die 06 Paparazzi 07 Scheiße 08 Artpop 09 Do What U Want 10 Marry the Night Yep. All amazing.

*.* That episode. THAT SCENE (you know which I mean). ON FIRE.

Not since Cheryl has such a high profile artist plopped out something that reeked so badly of "will this do?", seriously, Britney and her team need to be commended for "creating" lazy dreck to such fanfare. Again, I say this as someone who has always appreciated Britney (or maybe just Bloodshy) for occasionally coming out with some incredible pop moments.

Happily is everything.

HANNAH HUNT. Single. Now.

Heard this out last night. Love love.

I loved a lot of the Born This Way album. Heavy Metal Lover, Bloody Mary, Scheiße, Government Hooker... I really expected those to be the indicators of the direction for this album. But then that wouldn't sell. Although neither is this. Womp.

Listening now. Zzz.

She usually has one or two songs from each album that I hear and think, yep, pop music at its best. This album has none.
