    A wonderful album! A wonderful artist! Every album released, his talent and his legacy growing and most respected. This only tends to grow. Each person chooses his own Queen, Lady Gaga for me is the true queen of pop.

    É um disco maravilhoso repleto de músicas boas, instrumentais bem trabalhadas, letras fortes e super produção. Eu super recomendo vocês a ouvirem o álbum.

    Sonically interesting but too grandiose to stay grounded. Gaga aimed for the stars, achieved liftoff, and immedietly got stuck in a boring limbo above the clouds.

    ARTPOP is an electronic and electropop album, that made Gaga a better artist. For me the best songs of ARTPOP are Applause, Dope and Mary Jane Holland. But the album does not have a feeling of good quality and it seems that Gaga made it in a hurry. It is great that it has 15 songs, but I heard a lot of filler material

    Pra mim é um álbum extremamente forte em batidas, e eu sinceramente não gosto muito disso, então não foi muito do meu agrado. Porém esse conceito que a Gaga queria de "Art" e "pop" pra mim foi alcançado, no geral é um bom trabalho. Minha faixa favorita é Venus, e minha faixa que eu não gostei foi Swine.

    Esse o "álbum do milênio? Decepcionante, um trabalho tão igual aos outros, acho melhor Gaga fazer um marketing melhor da próxima vez.Poucas músicas se salvam nesse álbum.

    Her ambition made her failed totally. Combining the word "pop" and "art" didn't mean the pop music with art. Remember, sometimes you want to skip too far, you will probably fall.

    "Risking" may be the second name of this album warrior. An absurdly different sound, that anyone who listen, strange. Something "strange" that is so original in Lady Gaga's courage to bring art and music to the heart.

    Artpop is probably the best album by Lady Gaga. A true exponent of electro pop that reflects in a very artistic way the Greek and Roman mythology with enjoyablely danceable sounds. Simply a masterpiece.

    ARTPOP’s music is at least more three-dimensional. Modern EDM and ’80s synthpop are the dominant influences, meaning songs explode with rubbery keyboards, digital zaps, insistent beats, and manipulated vocals. “Applause” is equal parts Teutonic techno and Grace Jones; “Gypsy” starts with simple piano and blooms into a high-energy electro anthem; and “Sexxx Dreams” has a breathy synthpopARTPOP’s music is at least more three-dimensional.

Still, Gaga’s weird streak comes through—the record also has raging electric guitars (the Adele-goes-wild “Manicure”), sparkly R&B electro (the R. Kelly-featuring “Do What U Want”) and Sun Ra quotes (“Venus”). EDM stalwarts Infected Mushroom even collaborate with Gaga on “Aura” for a hiccuping disco hopscotch.… Expand

    This is VERY disappointing effort coming from the woman who did The Fame and conquered the pop world. It feels like she recorded it in a few minutes by asking kindergarten pupils writing the lyrics. No art at all.

    The entire concept for this is so pretentious that it looks embarassing. The entire record looks like discarded tracks from her "The Fame+Monster" CD. I would add that it has even pretentiousness on the album cover. Why waste so much art to make delibaretely stupid material? It has a few good songs that lacks originality and creativity.

    Gaga solidifies herself as a force to be reckoned with on Artpop. She is undeniably one of the biggest pop divas of the 21st century.

    Gaga se queda sin una idea clara para su tercer album y termina perdiendo su esencia para pasar a ser una artista pop mas del monton y reciclando viejas ideas.

    Only 3 memorable songs. This would not be good even in 2013 when it was released. You can dance to it, and I love Gaga, but this album is not it.

    One of Gaga's best pieces of work and Artpop doesn't get the recognition that she deserves. Start to finish this album is a piece of art there really isn't a lot to not like besides just little things. But Artpop deserved better.

    She should never have released such a bad recording. The songs are poorly produced, as lyrics do not make sense, there is not a minimum of cohesion between the tracks. Bizarre.

    WEll, besides the fact that this album is highly appreciated by fans, this is a mess sometimes. Of course i enjoy listening this hard af beats, but this whole era is a mess. Maybe it came out too early and people werent ready for that but.. we get what we get. The concept is missing form song to song. And even if you understand the concept of the era doesnt mean everybody does. This isWEll, besides the fact that this album is highly appreciated by fans, this is a mess sometimes.

    Con una portada extravagante al típico estilo Gaga que sobresale por su sencillez y pobre terminación, mostrándonos una Gaga semidesnuda con las piernas extendidas con una bola azul cristalina delante, ARTPOP es el intento casi absurdo y ordinario de Gaga de consagrarse en una artista más allá del género pop a la hora de entregar un producto final. Intento que es valorado, pero que porCon una portada extravagante al típico estilo Gaga que sobresale por su sencillez y pobre terminación, mostrándonos una Gaga semidesnuda con las piernas extendidas con una bola azul cristalina delante, ARTPOP es el intento casi absurdo y ordinario de Gaga de consagrarse en una artista más allá del género pop a la hora de entregar un producto final. Intento que es valorado, pero que por desgracia pocas veces tiene éxito a ambos lados de la balanza. Con una demanda -compuesto en su mayoría por sus propios fans- casi bestial por consumir el siguiente hit bailable y fresco. Gaga no puede ser más que jugar a ser ambigua a medida que trata de llevar su carrera por nuevos rumbos sin dejar de pisar tierra firme y dar lo que “piden” los fans mientras trata de mantenerse fiel a su instinto artístico. O al menos es lo que queremos creer, ya que el resultado está posicionado más cerca a un insípido término medio.

    Solo con los primeros segundos de Aura, el punto de inicio se puede advertir que algo no marcha bien. Gaga gritando en gran parte del coro y los sintetizadores al máximo hacen que sea difícil de digerir tanto Swinne y MANiCure. Con la absurda Venus, Gaga se da un paseo sexual por el sistema solar usando el orgasmo femenino como tópico. Sexx Dreams es un desahogo mientras continúa empalagando hasta el ultimo compas con los saturados beats electrónicos innecesarios. En la repulsiva y fatídica Jewels N’ Drugs una canción completamente innecesaria y que se corona como la peor dentro del álbum
    Do What You Want To se convierte en la salvadora de oídos ya casi entrando a la mitad del álbum, una composición agradable y bien pulida, al igual que Dope una canción sin tanta instrumentación electrónica de por medio, solo con Gaga en el piano, pero que no se salva de la sobreproducción. Appplause, que es otra de las más grandes decepciones dentro del álbum, queda bien ubicada como cierre, solo para pedir disculpas. ARTPOP tiene una fragilidad e inconsistencia a nivel musical que se nota cuando sabes que lo único que tiene que ofrecer es el primer sencillo. Si Gaga trata de vivir de los aplausos, es incomprensibles que aleje a su publico más devoto con una entrega decepcionante y saturada de sintetizadores electro sobreproducidos, canciones de sobra y gritos estridentes innecesarios, con la excusa de ser un toque artístico. Y si se encontraba consolidada a ser la digna sucesora a reina del pop, con ARTPOP pierde cualquier oportunidad. ARTPOP está a años luz de ser “el álbum del milenio!!!!” como ella misma lo describió a gritos en sus redes sociales porque es sin duda el peor trabajo de su carrera.

    Same old Gaga gimmicks with the same old sounds. Great for just dance kids I guess. But she needs to stop with the antics and go in the direction of a star is born. Stripped down lovely vocals instead of this mess. My least favorite album of hers, and that's tough to say because chromatica is aweful, and ari saves it with rain on me

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sus letras son muy vacías, en applause noté una diferencia, en artpop también. En Aura se demora mucho para empezar. Venus es muy buena pero se nota que es relleno. Artpop es muy repetitivo su ritmo aunque la letra la salva. Swine parece soundtrack de Geometric Dash, pero vacío y repetitivo. Manicure, G.U.Y y Applause son las mejores de todo el álbum. Mis expectativas cayeron ya que ella misma dijo que sería el álbum del siglo pero no fue lo que esperaba.… Expand

    Coherently channeling R&B, techno, disco and rock music as a pop artist while discussing sex, drugs, lust, God, fame and creativity, Lady Gaga has offered fans her most sonically and lyrically diverse album to date.

    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.
