    ARTPOP was trully ahead of its time, as we can see years later. The use of electronic sounds mixed with rock, hip-hop and pure pop is insane.

    An album ahead of its time. A modern masterpiece by one of pop music's chameleons. The EDM-driven record will make your insides dance and wiggle.

    This album has many great songs, but Lady Gaga was a bit late to the game with EDM. By 2013, it was already a saturated music market - lots of great songs here though and recommend a listen to pick those songs you like

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. “ARTPOP” is pure art. It is, basically, the greatest masterpiece I’ve ever experienced. Completely aware of what I’m saying, this album has changed my life. It gives me shots of raw art and its representation. I truly can’t understand why people give this album so much hate. If Lady Gaga had the chance to produce it on her way, without the pointless application of the record label, she’d probably deliver us, not only her career album, but the millennium album. Expand

    An album that could never live up to the hype surrounding it, only some of which Lady Gaga controlled. For her part, she failed to coherently and consistently deliver a message of intent for ARTPOP; instead, her descriptions only added fuel to the fire with meme after meme about a 'reverse Warholian' experience that was unrelatable to, well, everyone. In a more human language, ARTPOP wasAn album that could never live up to the hype surrounding it, only some of which Lady Gaga controlled. For her part, she failed to coherently and consistently deliver a message of intent for ARTPOP; instead, her descriptions only added fuel to the fire with meme after meme about a 'reverse Warholian' experience that was unrelatable to, well, everyone. In a more human language, ARTPOP was about elevating the art of music above the celebrity status attached to the persona behind it.

    The marketing and visuals behind Applause fit this narrative perfectly, as she ran through her previous era's iconic looks and slowly dismantled them in the video and performances. The album's opener - Aura - states the album's purpose clearly: "Do you want to see me naked lover? Do you want to peak underneath the cover? Do you want to see the girl who lives behind the aura?" Blunders like allowing Do What U Want, an empowering anthem about taking back control of her own self from the industry in its solo form, to be twisted into an in-your-face explicit duet with R. Kelly, and getting performance artists to overpower the music and rollout of future singles, rerailed any shot ARTPOP had.

    It has received some love in hindsight 7 years later, but it should have never been so defamed.

    As it has been said, ARTPOP was ahead of it´s time.
    Calling Gaga a ¨tryhard for a topchart pop single¨ or ¨mainstream¨ in ARTPOP is probably one of the funniest thing I´ve heard so far, but clearly critics in 2013 have a lack of proper reviewing ability, especially when trying to compare Gaga´s work with other artists, releasing music back then.

I think at the time when this album was released not everyone understood what Gaga intended to say, but I am happy that ARTPOP is now beginning (AFTER 7 YEARS) to get the recognition it deserves. Also Applause and ARTPOP(the song) are top tier in Gaga's discography. Expand

    ARTPOP it's an entire masterpiece, something new about lady gaga, and I found out my love for electronic music. How this album takes us to another dimension and break us free to dance and sing aloud as we want it's magical, gaga just showed us how she can recreate herself and do something big and different but at the same time amazing.

    This is simply Gaga's best album.
    Why? It's one of her most personal work to date. This doesn't explore Stefanie side of Gaga (like Joanne) This explores Lady Gaga mind through over the top psicodelic electronic music. From topics like being misunderstood, Fame struggles, addictions, etc, this album is a deep look to Gaga's world, the artist world. Which is chaotic and deep.

    The melodies here are fine, they do a job, but nothing backs up Gag's Warholian rhetoric or scales the barmy heights of Bad Romance. [Jan 2014, p.116]

    While it’s stronger than the messy ‘Born This Way’, Artpop feels little more culture-quaking than a good collection of fun, silly, well-crafted pop songs.
