    Lady Gaga's Achilles heel is melody and progression, she just seems to rarely get it right. However, when she gets it right, the results are truly impressive, as she's got a really strong and distinct music personality that's never lost even in the worst cuts.

    De uma coisa temos certeza, quando a Gaga sai da zona de conforto e tenta algo mais experimental, ela consegue fazer coisas realmente boas. Não é atoa que o ARTPOP é o melhor da carreira dela.

That being said, this album certainly is not her best work, but it's not bad at all. ARTPOP serves as a career highlight because of the pure artistic creativity and innovation exuding behind each and every one of these hypnotically rhythmic EDM & electro-pop influenced tracks, and with career-defining songs like Gypsy, Dope, and the infamous Applause, Gaga proves that even at some of her lowest points, she's still gonna push through and further prove she's one of the greatest of all time.… Expand

    A enjoyable album. With very good songs. Sometimes its songs sounds repetitive, in the plot of the songs, but the musical production and its cool and fun electropop rhythms bring you a enjoyable experience when you are playing the songs.

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

    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

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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.    … Expand

    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.

    Talented. Brilliant. Incredible. Amazing. Show stopping. Spectacular. Never be the same. Totally unique. Completely not ever been done before.

    O álbum é muito bom, porém pouco entendido pela maioria das pessoas. Músicas como DWUW e Applause são inesquecíveis, e muito boas de se ouvirem, assim como Vênus e Gypsy.

    Unos de los mejores album Pop, que fue liberado antes de tiempo y adelantado a su época.

    This is one of my favorites albums of all time, ARTPOP will always have a special place in my heart and my soul. Lady Gaga is a genius AHEAD OF HER TIME! Love her.

    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.

    One of her best albums ! An extremely underrate piece of art that will live on and will show everyone that it was a masterpiece!

    A dance album, full of pain and rebelion, gaga at her most explosive state of mind.

    abolutely a future album. i love this it is simply a perfect album. I can't understand why it didn't get a better metascore. The album is probably the best of the decade I haven't heard pop genius like this since MJ or Mad. It's INCREDIBLE!!!

    O álbum mais cru e controverso. E sim, Lady Gaga tinha razão quando disse que esse seria o álbum do milênio.

    i don't know why did this album flop. it is a big masterpiece (maybe except mary jane holland)!!!! better than ASIB 100%. that album is defining Gaga's thoughts on musıc, on art. this is a masterpiece. check G.U.Y, Sexxx Dreams and Donatella...

    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.
