    I love this album because of course, I am a huge fan of Lady Gaga. I love all of the songs on the album. I like "Bad Romance", "Dance in the Dark", "Telephone", "Monster", and all the other songs. I also love The Fame and Artpop.

    The Fame Monster is Gaga's best work to date, an assortment of varied pop styles paired with lyrics about figurative monsters, fame and sexuality. this mini album is a perfect representation of the zeitgeist of the beginning of the 2010s, with its fashionable beats and impressive vocals.

    The Fame Monster is Gaga's best work to date, an assortment of varied pop styles paired with lyrics about figurative monsters, fame and sexuality. this mini album is a perfect representation of the zeitgeist of the beginning of the 2010s, with its fashionable beats and impressive vocals.
    a massive standout in Lady Gaga's career is the glam rock anthem Speechless, which has cemented Gaga's place in the pop world as a star who can both write and belt out rock anthems masterfully crafted for massive stadiums. many would say that Gaga's best songs are her eurodance-inspired ones, but this woman belongs behind a piano, with Queen-reminiscent backing instrumentals. Gaga is clearly very inspired by Queen's and David Bowie's respective glam eras, and her personality never fails to impress and dazzle even the most casual of pop listeners.
    we also have the standouts Dance in the Dark and Teeth, two massive bangers that successfully reveal a darkness in Gaga's tone that still hasn't quite been retouched upon in any of her later music. overall, The Fame Monster is a fabulous step-up from her earlier music, and hopefully she will return to a darker pop style soon.

    The Pop definition on itself. The best album of the genre in this century. The songs are so catchy and the lyrics are beyond meaningful and metaphorical. Just the Hitchcock's references in the Iconic Ultra Hit Bad romance are art on words. The Fame Monster is more than worth to listen to, but enjoyable and a trip to the dark and adorable of what Pop Music can give to us. Gaga Rocks!!!

    The Fame Monster was the focal point in Lady Gaga's career. Bad Romance is one of the best songs in HISTORY, and it made history too when it became the first DIAMOND certified song by a female artist ever! Highlights of this album are Alejandro, Telephone, Dance In The Dark, Monster, and of course, Bad Romance. An astounding album, 10/10.

    Lo mejor del álbum es el concepto que envuelve su música; el lado oscuro de la fama. Sus letras llenas de misterio y subliminalidades hacen del disco el mejor retorno del género dark-pop que puso muy de moda Michael Jackson en los 80's. Me atrevería a decir que The Fame Monster fue el nuevo Thriller, esta vez a cargo de una artista femenina que logro adaptar el género al siglo 21.

    Not only does this new song cycle retain the Euro-tastic sheen of its predecessor, it outdoes it in sheer dance-floor whump.
  2. 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.
  3. In her music videos and live shows over the past year, Gaga has worked hard to demonstrate her creative ambition and stylistic range, and that project continues on The Fame Monster.
