  1. Only after being overwhelmed by the sheer visibility of her warp-speed relaunch did I realize how enjoyable and inescapable her hooks and snatches had turned out to be.
  2. 'Poker Face,' pretty much the one song 2009 will be remembered for, are included on the original album, this becomes essential for anyone who even remotely likes pop. For the rest of us, it's the moment Gaga cements herself as a real star.
  3. Available as a second disc with The Fame or as a self-contained album, The Fame Monster continues where Gaga's debut left off and features eight new tracks of varying quality.

    I used to LOATHE Lady Gaga and was BAFFLED at why everyone enjoyed her so much. I even made a playlist of my favorite music which included: C,S,N and Young, James Brown, The Police, Jefferson Airplane, The Doors, Aretha... just to name a few, and I called this playlist "Lady Gaga is Going to Die"... I did this because I felt like society was really F***ed up to think that this girl had talent. With this album, however, she completely changed my mind. I may not be a "Gagamaniac", but I certainly respect her at least. Just enjoy it for it's musicality. Not what she says, but how she says it, and how the music enhances these feelings she is trying to make into this... music. It's certainly beautiful and breathtaking at times. With this being leaps and bounds better than her first album, I wait for what she will come up with in the future. Expand

  2. I just reviewed The Fame, which is better in my opinion, this "album" isn't a step forward at all. The abrupt change in music style is too quick and too random at the time she released it. The album has way too little tracks, and most of the songs are depressing and I don't get how her voice went from clear and high, to low and raspy. It just doesn't make sense. and Teeth is the dumbest song I ever heard. Okay, not the dumbest, but the third dumbest. Bad Romance - 7/10 Alejandro - 7/10 Monster - 5/10 Speechless - 3/10 (ballads are her weak point) Dance In The Dark - 6/10 9makes her look like a satanist) Telephone - 9/10 So Happy I Could Die - 8/10 Teeth - 1/10 (It's really THAT bad!!!!)
