    Artpop é um otimo album! Com singles com grande potencial como "do what u want" e "venus", o album mostra profundamente o genero pop como uma forma de arte, um dos melhores trabalhos de gaga!

    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.

    Underrated album! Alot of critics are bashing it because it underperformed (not really it sold 2.5M WW).

    It deserves more love because this is Gaga going into a new genre in her musical career.

    This album is misunderstood and underappreciated. ARTPOP is ambitious and sonically diverse, blending together a wide variety of sounds and genres that hook you instantly. Standout tracks include Venus, Sexxx Dreams, MANiCURE, Do What U Want, Swine, Donatella, Fashion!, Mary Jane Holland, Dope and Gypsy.

    ARTPOP, sin lugar a dudas un gran lanzamiento del '2013', uno de los discos mas esperados del año, Lady Gaga supo realizar bien el album, mezclas de sonido 'Motown', 'EDM', 'Pop'. Sin lugar a dudas uno de los mejores del 2013. Gypsy, Applause, Fashion!, Venus, Donatella, G.U.Y, Dope! las mejores del album!

    ARTPOP is definitely an underrated album. What I like about this album is how different and fresh-sounding it is. There is a lot of EDM influence, which is sort of funny since almost ALL pop songs in 2016 are EDM influenced... ARTPOP may have just been ahead of its time. On this album, we see a very provocative side of Lady Gaga on tracks like G.U.Y., Sexxx Dreams, and Do What U Want. IARTPOP is definitely an underrated album.

I love these songs because they are very dancy and sexy. The lead single, Applause, is an amazing song and will be one of those songs everyone will remember in 10 years. Other amazing tracks on this album include Mary Jane Holland, Venus, Donatella, and Dope (the best pop ballad of the 21st century honestly). Maybe this album didn't do so great sale-wise, but it sure as hell is a good album. Expand

It came true with this album. Gaga wanted to create something different that her previous albums. It really can be called "masterpiece". Every lyrics is unique and clever, if you understand it. Melodies are matched to her voice from diffefent genres. All 15 tracks are incredible:
    Gaga sings about:
    -fame("Applause" , "Donatella" , "Fashion!" and "ARTPOP")
    -love ("G.U.Y" , "Gypsy" , "Venus" and "MANiCURE)
    -sexuality ("Venus" in historical sense , "G.U.Y" "Sex Dreams" , "MANiCURE" and "Do What You Want")
    -overcoming addicts ("Mary Jane Holland" , "Dope")
    -fashion ("Donatella" , "Fashion!")
    -music ("ARTPOP")
    -dreams ("Gypsy" , "Aura", "Jewels N' Drugs")
    -pain from the past ("Swine")
    Mrs.Germanotta created very good music for her album and she's never wanted to compose and write a song without any sense. I am so proud of the record and I think that it deserves more sales. I've listened to the album very often and it's never made me bored since I first heard for all 60 minutes. I really love every song and all the production.
    If i could choose a song for fourth single it would be- "Gypsy" ,and for fifth single- it would be "Fashion!" Hope that album will be appreciated even though it has failed.
    "ARTPOP" is inspiring!!!

    Tiene sonidos muy pegadizos y eléctricos, a veces tan eléctricos que llegan a quemar un poco los oídos... Con este álbum, Gaga perdió buena parte del boom que le había dado su icónico y trascendental estilo dance, pero eso no quiere decir que aún no le quede potencial para mejorar y seguir destacando en la industria.

    This is definitive not Gaga's best album, but there is something about that "messy EDM" that we really must pay attention. Some songs like "Aura", "Venus", "Do What U Want" and "MANiCURE" are potential hits that deserved more success, by the way, I found a word for this album, a "potential one".

    Umm, I don't know exactly how to explain how atrocious obnoxious and hideous this album is. The worst album I have ever listened to. Terrified seeing the downgrade from masterpieces like The Fame Monster and Born This Way to Artpop. Lady Gaga really disappointed me.

    We can say that ARTPOP is a mistake on Gaga's career but it is not. The album was one of the biggest conceptual works of all time. While Gaga was mixing art and pop, people was critizing her Born This Way era.
    Obviously, it wasn't a perfect album, Gaga focused a lot on the promotional thing, on the promotional singles(Dope and Do What U Want(feat R. Kelly), and it actually worked, but the real thing was left behind, the concept of the album wasn't promoted. We had an album inspired by the old Romanticism, the art culture of the 1600's, and she had everything to make the ''album of the millenium'', but everything went wrong.
    Start saying that it didn't had a good debut on the charts, the promotion of the songs was a total mess(DWUW video, for example), and then, the media started a big fight with Gaga, and it will be really hard for her to reborn from the pop culture ashes.

    (And it would have been a big battle on the Grammys with Sam Smith)

    HIGHLIGHTS: Venus, G.U.Y, Sexxx Dreams, Do What U Want, Artpop, Fashion!, Dope, Gypsy

    I think this is the most misunderstood album by Gaga, or even from the '10s. Even if it's not what we all expected, still good. There are so much hits like: Sexxx Dreams, Do What U Want, ARTPOP, Mary Jane Holland, Gypsy. The problem is the hype she made. But still good.

    A good album that stayed in the shadow of an average lead single that set the tone for the album and the future singles. People weren't interested. G.U.Y. or Aura would have been better lead singles and maybe the album wouldn't have been so overlooked. You can find the iconic Gaga weirdness in the brilliant Venus and ARTPOP, the catchy choruses in G.U.Y. and Gypsy, and the great writing in the whole album. All that thrown in a blender with crazy production, heavy beats, makeup, vomit, alcohol, and you find yourself with this great explosive and creative album.
    Lady Gaga remains one of the few pop stars actually interested in making good music, not hits, and she is involved in everything about the album. From the writing to the production, to the directing of the videos, ...
    In short, a good album, that should have been 10 songs long, overshadowed by a messy era which prevented people to actually enjoy the music.
    Best songs: Gypsy, G.U.Y., Aura, Venus

    This is by far the worst record by Lady Gaga. Far away from the incredible 'The Fame' or 'The Fame Monster', Lady Gaga gaves us confusing and mixed feeling towards what was supposed to be an artistic speech through music. Not feeling it.

    Um ótimo álbum, um tapa na cara da indústria que esperava um álbum super comercial para render milhões a todos os empresários que só pensam em sugar a maior quantia que conseguir da maior estrela pop da geração. A gaga sabia que aconteceria isso, então ela fez um álbum que ela tinha certeza que não se sairia bem como os outros.

    Lady Gaga proves once again that she is one of the biggest players in the world of pop music. Excellent work.

    ARTPOP is the spiritual successor to The Fame and The Fame Monster we have all been waiting for! While Born This Way was laden with songs about acceptance and expressing yourself, ARTPOP is jam packed with songs that are so infectious and fun, you can't help but want to strap on a pair of dancing shoes and hit the club.

    Lyrically speaking, ARTPOP is a mixed bag. While not always Gaga's strongest material, you will find many influences spanning Leonoard Cohen in Dope and the B52s, (and an amazing nod to Sun Ra,) in Venus. Donnatella seems to be the weakest lyrically, but taking that song too seriously would be foolish; it's about as tongue and cheek as it gets.

    I would have loved to give this album a perfect 10, but Gaga's only misstep was Jewels N Drugs; a track that I have deleted from my ARTPOP playlist and will simply pretend never happened. Please never do rap again, Miss Gaga! It is not your strong suit!

    Overall, ARTPOP is a sonic confection and should be enjoyed by many, especially those of us who have been so fond of her antics for so long.

    This album gives me a BRAND NEW,FRESH experience about ART and POP! I'm not dare to say a breakthrough in POP music but it is certainly something fresh and an absolutely great experience in listening to this album... Suggested that the lyrics of ARTPOP(song) is amazing and the other songs' lyrics are also inspiring!!! I just dance with the tracks!

    "ARTPOP" is the biggest album we had this year!! It is complete pop music album released in a very long time! IT SCREAMS ICONIC! Obviously, It's Gaga's best album in her 5-year long career! The album is a masterpiece and I am here to tell you how!

    Starting with the first track of the album i.e. "Aura"...This song is one of the most iconic EDM songs ever! The reason of it being an iconic EDM track is that it's the most unique EDM track I've ever heard! Lyrically, yes a bit controversial, but the lyrics are fine! Vocally, it's one of Gaga's best Zedd has done an amazing work on the production!

    From "Aura"..The album moves to one of the weakest moments in the album. The second song on the tracklist "Venus" which was earlier rumoured to be Gaga's second single from the album. The best thing in the song is it's production and the amazing thing is that Gaga produced the track herself. Though, I loved the production only. Lyrically Vocally, it's not as good as other tracks on the album. But still it's filler at it's best!

    Moving towards the 3rd track on the playlist.."G.U.Y." The opening intro to the song alone suggests us that it's the best track on the album! The song is one of the highlights of the album one of Gaga's best so far! The verses are amazing, pre-chorus is amazing and the chorus is superb! Lyrically, the song is great..you would love to sing it! Vocally, also, it's great! Good production too!

    After "G.U.Y."...album takes us to the best track on the record!..Sexxx Dreams.... Even the best track out of Gaga's discography! The reason it's the best is the song's lyrics..it's production..Gaga's vocals. With all it's Janet-esque, the song becomes a legendary masterpiece! A few day earlier..I was really depressed that where the pop music has lost. Even "Born this way" failed to do so. the only complete pop song in the album is "The Edge Of Glory". But Sexxx Dreams tells us that Lady Gaga is the best popstar alive we have today! The music is different..and that's what makes it ICONIC...totally!

    Then "Jewel N' Drugs" where Gaga makes her debut effort in hiphop! The song is good but not that good as compared to the rest of the album

    The next on the tracklist is MANiCURE...A bit of pop A bit of rock Gaga's rockstar vocals A ROCKING ROCK SONG! The song has good production good lyrics but the best thing in the song is Gaga's vocals!! Good Song!

    "Do What U Want", the 7th track on the album! Among the top 4 tracks on the albumVocally, It's Gaga's best song! Lyrically, it's great! and production is fine!! It reminds me of MJ!!! Thank God! It's the second single and "Venus" is not!

    The album leads us to the title track of the album!! "ARTPOP" It's thrilling and pulsating! A good title track for the album.

    "Swine" a crazy pop song with great synths Gaga's killing vocals! Gaga has done a good job on the track vocally!! GOOD!

    "Donnatella" is amazing too, Vocally and Lyrically! Production could have been a little more good! Otherwise..it's good and can be treated as a single!

    "Fashion!" This also one of the weakest on the album..but it's still good! this is the only will.i.am production I like! It's different from others! Lyrics are good! Will.I.Am's vocals in the song are also good!!

    "Mary Jane Holland"..One of the highlights on the album with it's crazy production and tasty Gaga vocals! Bridge is also good! Chorus is catchy!

    On average, I really had the impression that this record suffered from some rushing production, to keep at peace with the period and surfing the big wave of her own fame. And she failed. Some more working and less fillers would have helped a lot. Also, she needs to give up every "ohhh ohhh" "ahhh ahhh" and actually put meaningful words to conceive a "good" song.

    Gaga combined ART with POP in the album and truly created a timeless masterpiece. It's her least successful album but it sounds like her best. The songs are crafted masterfully and sound brilliant with a modern pair of headphones - they open up like this huge world of synths and layers of melody.

    It's not very serious like the title would suggest but it's a brilliant and ephemeral pop

    Expect much MUCH more after Born this Way, BTW was one of the best records of all time and after that i expected much more especially with the hype that was created.

    This album was a big let down. It did not meet my expectations. Although her efforts to correlate music with art is very commendable, it was futile, as she was able to express but not deliver very well. Her past albums were fantastic, this one brought uniqueness in the industry but thhe music itself was not captivating.

    Don't let the naysayers get to your head! Lady Gaga is far from over and this album proves it.

    I was expecting something good from this album. She wants to show her "Artistic" part, but this is literally **** The only saveageable song of the album is Applause. The rest... Not so much

    A job well done but poorly worked. Despite having very well made songs like "Venus" has other poorly worked as "Applause" and besides that, Gaga decided this last before a good job. Nor gave much effort to their Singles and basically the only downside of this album is its low promotion and their bad Singles (except G.U.Y).

    This album is a piece of crap. The sounds in most of the songs are annoying. She's just trying to stay relevant because no one pays attention to her anymore. That's why it flopped I guess. Even her clown costumes already bored the media. Good Luck Gaga.

    ARTPOP suffers from too many EDM songs and it makes me feel that Gaga's team was rushing this album, even the lead single "Applause" was almost left off at the least minute. The highlights of the album are "Applause", "Do What U Want", "Dope", "X Dreams", and "Aura".

    Um Álbum diferenciado dos anteriores da cantora, com essa pegada forte eletrônica, que é pouco mesclado as músicas. Melhores faixas MANICURE e DO WHAT U WANT, a primeira devia ter sido single, outras que não deixam de ser boas é SWINE, VENUS, FASHION!, AURA , G.U.Y e claro ARTPOP. o restante seria melhor se tivesse sido descartado.

    A journey starting from the exclaquestion mark of 'Aura' and ending in the predictable dancefloor of 'Applause'; probing various stylistic experiments, from the tearjerker 'Dope' to the psycho-rapped 'Jewels N Drugs', and from the 'MANiCURE' rock solo to the 'Mary Jane Holland' heavy trance. There are definitely more and less successful tracks, but they all come together in an overall, extremely brave projection of what Lady Gaga is as an artist and as a living artwork.

    Highlights include the reigning 'Venus', the futuristic title track 'ARTPOP' (where the instrumental is strangely and cleverly moderate) and of course the beautiful sparkling 'Gypsy'.

    ARTPOP isn't a terrible album, but that doesn't mean its good either. What Gaga tried to accomplish with ARTPOP is diving into pop's underbelly, delivering an EDM-charged record that is louder, angrier, and more aggressive than any of her prior releases, or any album to hit the market in 2013.

For a pop star that has widespread appeal, experimental records that stray from the artists original sound often fail (see: Bionic, Erotica) and ARTPOP is 60 minutes of one musical extreme to the other.

Distancing away from her recent pop material with genre's such as Disco and Electronic, the tracks make you wanna get up and dance. Finishing off with ballads "Dope" and "Gypsy", she shows a more personal side of her emotion. Though the album doesn't contain material that a large audience would appreciate, she connects with her fans that share her same passion that creates the ART in ARTPOP.

    I say this is an impeccable album, Gaga shows us she has a mind like no other shining in originality.

    While I'm a ginormous lady gaga fan I will be biased

    Heres a song run down

    Aura 9.5/10 - I fell in love with this song when it was released as a lyric video on her VEVO channel. I bought this on iTunes when it became available. This was one of my favorite songs for an extended period of time. Now this is a very recommended song of mine.

    Venus 9.2/10 - Now I completely love this song to death. VENUS! I listened to this song while playing my xbox on iTunes first look radio. I thought she was saying p*nis because of my turtle beaches on but I took them off one ear and heard VENUS!

    G.U.Y. 10/10 - This is one of my favorite songs on the album!!! Aura being another. I love the music video to death!! So welly produced and looks amazing. I love this song and will always, its still my jam after almost a year.

    Sexxx dreams 8/10 - This song is so good. I love this song and its one of those songs you is sexual but you don't care. I love it but don't really listen to it around family.

    Jewels N' Drugs 7.1/10 - Now I'm not too in love with rap but I like this song. Now I like that Lady Gaga likes to step out of the bubble she was out in of pop and can go do rap.

    MANiCURE 8.8/10 - I love this song and how it was produced. I love the background sounds (I don't know what to call it) and the lyrics are sexual but its ok.

    Do What U Want (feat. R. Kelly) 8.3/10 - Now you may listen to this song the first time and be like " what the hell she's saying to have sexual intercourse with her" but I see it as you can do what you want but the knowledge she has you can not manipulate.

    Artpop 7.2/10 - I didn't really enjoy this song too much. I skip over it often just because the lyrics don't really hit me like the other songs. Now I'm not dry heaving at the mere sound of this song but its not like I will fight off a wave of skips just to listen to it. I love the melody of it though.

    Swine 8.9/10 - I love the tempo of this song and lyrics are great. Now I love this song and listen to it (accidentally bought the clean version at first so had to rebuy it) but its great

    (I feel bad for people who type a lot because my hands hurt at this point)

    Donatella 7.8/10 - Now this is the point where I think this song is a filler. I don't have much shade to throw at this song but I don't love it.

    Fashion! 8.2/10 - I do love this song and melody but Im not placing it one of my favorite. Its not just there but it has a presence. I love the lyrics and the tempo. Defiantly a great song by her.

    Mary Jane Holland 7/10 - Worst song of artpop. Oh how I don't hate this song but its not my favorite but everyone has to have their least favorite. Now your least favorite may not be as low as a score as this song but everyone has a least favorite.

    Dope 7.9/10 - I have nothing against this song which I interpret as her song about her drug addiction or a friend with one. But I do like this song.

    Gypsy 8/10 - I do skip over this song a lot but its because I have to be in the mood to listen to this song but when I am I love it.

    Applause 8.2/10 - Now I know this is a contender to Katy Perrys "Roar" but I cant listen to roar anymore. I cant do it. Its too overplayed on my part (just like the songs I like on Prism) but this song isn't due to its beat and lyrical genius put into it.

Although met with negativity among the general public, perhaps this is just the cause of petty wars between fan bases and the ignorant descriptions of Gaga: she's talentless, she's a man, she's over. Although, she is far from over and is far from stopping. All these descriptions become disregarded when listening to 'ARTPOP', as you can hear that she is finally having fun. She finally feels somewhat free in this limited industry. For that, and for a very diverse, ballsy and standout album, Lady Gaga deserves all the 'Applause' she gets and more. Expand

The album deals with so many themes, like sex, love, media, rape, fashion, drugs and life itself and still don't fail to give us that hooky and fun side of pop music. It's an album for when you just want to listen to pop lyrics and think about them or just want to have something to dance to. Expand

    This album is the pain of Gaga exploding in pop music, she also put electronic producers in the album who make greats songs with her, G.U.Y. And APPLAUSE are best songs

    It's a great album, with experimental electronic sounds. Gaga shines in her voice; she is very versatile and that is an attribute that can not be attributed to many singers.

    ARTPOP has it's highs and lows, and while the lows aren't that nice, the highs are incredible. Applause, the lead single of the album and also her biggest radio hit, is definitely one of Gaga's best. Incredible track. Great album. Love it.

    seriously this album is a complete flop from the lame artwork to the desperate lyrics. only highlight is gypsy!
    the fact this cd took forever to be released proves her management knew this would flop and boy did it ever!

    The most underrated album of the year. A beautiful mix of all types of music to bring together true art and beauty. Gaga delivers once again. Check out tracks like Aura and ARTPOP that truly define Gaga's style.

    I love the diversity of this album, there's hip-hop, electronic, trap, rock-pop, pop, R&B, and even a piano ballad. I believe that if the album had sold 1 million first week or the first single had gone #1, the album would've got great reviews from "fans" and critics alike, and that's sad.

This album is great and it is obvious how much work went into the album on some songs like "Venus", "G.U.Y.", "ARTPOP", "Mary Jane Holland", and "Applause". Great album Expand

    This album is just fantastic, Gaga proved to be versatile on her job, proving, even more, that she is the best singer of this time, not only she sings, but she also writes and produces her songs, which is very difficult to find these days. Congartulations to our queen!

    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.

    This is two albums in a row now that were basically a bit boring, and she needs to sort it out soonish please.
