May 27, 2011Though there is no denying that The Fame is a much better album, The Fame Monster stays more consistant than The Fame with its dark, mysterious tone, something that The Fame didn't pull off.
-
May 26, 2011By far the best pop album of 2009. Way better than The Fame, 8 amazing tracks, no fillers. The vocals are great as well. Standouts - Bad Romance, Dance In The Dark.
-
May 25, 2011The album is perfect in its own way and every song in the album is definitely enjoyable to listen. It showed Lady Gaga in a different side as compared to her previous album.
-
May 24, 2011Dance In The Dark and Telephone keep this EP from falling on its head with dud's like Alejandro and So Happy I Could Die. Bad Romance is an example of what Lady Gaga does best - lets the music speak and actually shuts up a bit.
-
May 23, 2011This Is Good Not As Good As Her 1st CD But Still Good :) Go GAGA!

May 23, 2011The Fame Monster is the bridge to Lady Gagaâ

May 20, 2011Love this album. Gaga is amazing. Only eight songs but all eight songs are hit songs. Amazing song writing on all songs. Track by track you don't get tired of it. One of the best EP album. The Fame was an amazing album and she came back with the Fame Monster another hitmaker album. Her style from the fame change but still and electro pop rock album.

May 13, 2011This album is amazing, each track flows into each other and they are crafted with perfection. All the songs on the album are flat out amazing. Best tracks are "Bad Romance" "Telephone" "Alejandro" "Dance in the Dark" and "Monster and "So Happy I Could Die"
100% A+ -
Apr 9, 2011All of the songs are amazingly catchy and nice, and Gaga proves that she has the vocals to sing as well.
She's an all rounded singer, and can dance, sing and is particularly good LIVE, compared to other modern-day singers. -
Mar 23, 2011Mindless lyrics and repetitive beats. This album was crap, thats all there is to it. It was a trashy pop album from the worlds biggest attention whore.
-
Mar 6, 2011YUCK! the WHOLE EP has only 3 gd songs, Bad Romance, Monster And So Happy i could die... A big disappointment, but it's actually better than The Fame, too much about sex and is too creepy!

Mar 2, 2011I bought the first album on a whim because I liked the first single but I didn't buy this album, listened to it on the internet and it's definitely one of the worst albums I have heard.
-
Feb 28, 2011I loved this album soo much, my favourite song on the album has to be teeth, it has such a dirty beat that makes everyone want to get up and march! The whole album has an creepy, eery aura, completely different to that of The Fame
-
Feb 16, 2011While most people are going Gaga on this EP, i must admit that i was a bit disappointed on this EP. The tracks are too long with sick beats and hooks. Although, the songs are really good but it did not satisfy me like what her debut did. Her voice is not good but she can sing. The EP is artistic but she is better in the futuristic one.

Dec 5, 2010Funny that it was given a 3 elsewhere on here. Only a few listens and it's totally magnetic. Bad Romance is possibly her best song to date - the point where the chorus kicks in just takes my breath away. That and the hypnotic Abba'esque Alejandro, make this worth the price alone.
Maybe some are out-takes, but man. this is is just stunning! -
Nov 25, 2010A nice album. My only complaint is her ballads, because I believe her voice is more suited to dance/pop songs. She's the only decent pop star today, and the only one trying out new things, as Michael Jackson and Madonna did back in the 80s (though I wouldn't say Gaga is as good as them). Way better than Bieber, Swift, or Kesha.
-
Nov 21, 2010Overall, the E.P is really strong and the standouts are the 3 singles: Bad Romance, Telephone, Alejandro and Monster. The only 2 tracks I find a bit below my expectations are Teeth and Dance In The Dark. Overall, The Fame Monster is enjoyable and is a great follow up to The Fame.

Nov 6, 2010Another blockbuster album by Lady Gaga. Bad Romance is the best song off the record. Bad Romance is just spectacular in every way. The song "Monster" is a close second. Each song is well written and produced.
-
Oct 26, 2010This album is one of those rare cases where popularity and fame ACTUALLY helps a music artist. While some songs defianitly outshine others, every song is at least worth a 5th or 6th listen on your iPod.
-
Oct 21, 2010This is much more of what I was expecting from an artist even much higher above cookie-cutter-pop-stuff. This album shows a different and more intimate side of Lady Gaga than ever before, especially in her debut album, The Fame. "Dance in the Dark", & "Telephone" are amazing. The rest are also very good. This will probably be one of the best albums the Fame Monster will ever make.
-
Sep 21, 2010A little better then debut but we are still at a rather low level.
A generic collection of pieces electropo and dance-pop that will last a season or two. no ambition, very little originality.
Overrated and disposable. -

Sep 16, 2010OMG!!!!! My favorite album ever!!!!! "Dance in the Dark" is the best song on the album. The album shows a different side of gaga. "Speechless" is a song that usually makes me cry because of the ontent and how heartfelt it is...GAGA WILL NEVER BE TOPPED

Aug 25, 2010This is my favorite album. The best dance/electronic album ever made. It has catchy dance club songs (Bad Romance, Alejandro, Telephone), so as deep lyrics (Speechless, Dance In The Dark).

Aug 15, 2010An impressive, creative, original piece of work. There may be only 8 songs, but I think they're ALL brilliant - especially Bad Romance, Monster, and Dance In The Dark. Good work, GaGa!
-
Aug 14, 2010I love her work, it's so marvelous. She continues her work wonderfully and this is even better that The Fame. She's getting better day by day. I can't even pick a favorite song on this album, I love them all!

-
-
AliciaJan 12, 2010This album includes the great pop beat songs from the fame but also incorporates the more rich tracks like Teeth ,Monster ,So happy I could DIe and even her own ballad Speechless.
-
-
ChrisF.Jan 10, 2010Lady GaGa is by far the most creative, inventive artist in pop culture today. She has found a way to reinvent pop music and make it interesting again. I LOVE her.
-
-
FaytH.Jan 7, 2010The darker side of Gaga is definetly compelling but lacked in depth, but she sure knows how to crank up tunes that most pop stars can only dream of. With standouts like 'Telephone', 'Bad Romance' and 'Teeth', this album will please both new and old fans. Now ... let's redefine the length of a 'studio album' shall we?!

LB.Jan 7, 2010The worst thing to happen to music over the last decade.

-
leewJan 6, 2010Semi-catchy dance beats set to bland and soulless lyrics. Certainly good for a random teenage girl's myspace page, but severely lacking in content.

SamDec 29, 2009The Fame Monster by Lady GaGa is an example of how Pop music should be. Each song is different from the last and shows that she does all sorts of music well. 8 great new songs as well as a CD with all songs from her debut album "The Fame" as well. A definite buy for near anyone.
-
-
GGDec 11, 2009Strange how most reviews seem to praise Gaga yet none give the album a higher score than 80. The Fame slowly became a near perfect album for me and The Fame Monster, albeit very different in sound, mood and character, sounds extremely infectious and has some genuine gem moments. The girl is a pop genius and i pity those who say she is merely a copy of Madonna or whatever cause that is pure BS.

JoshSDec 4, 2009Amazing. Fans will love it and people that hate her will hate it. But if you listen without bias and you like pop music then you will fall in love.
-
-
BrennanLDec 3, 2009Perfection. lady gaga inspires new things on the fame. her music is much richer. you can tell shes grown as an artist over the past year that she rose to fame. this is an amazing album!
-
-
BelfordH.Dec 3, 2009There are some amazing songs on this album. Dance in the dark, bad romance and monster. Not to mention telephone. also there's the rather strange tune of allejadro overall i'd give it a 10 but is't just lacking the wow factor.

DarkTNov 29, 2009More ambitious than her first album, Can't wait what's in store for us next.
-
-
JustinYNov 29, 2009Yes, she is a Madonna rip-off, but Maddie had it easier with the shock factor and music back in the 80s. I think both The Fame and Monster are great, the latter actually sounds like a pre-Fame recording. I mean, the girl can write and sing.
-
-
PeterQNov 28, 2009Lady gaga keeps it coming with 8 amazing new songs, each different, as well as catchy. they are also based on severeral different "monsters" she discovered while on tour. telephone is, by far, the most catchy song, followed by Bad romance and speechless. Overall, the album is worth the 8 dollars on itunes.
-
-
RayRNov 26, 2009Good follow-up to The Fame but she should have added more tracks and released it as her second album. The standouts are Dance in the Dark and Telephone which pairs her with Beyonce. There is definitely a darker theme here. Speechless fails to show her soft side and Teeth is a letdown. Otherwise, a solid mini-album for Lady Gaga. Listen to: Dance in the Dark Skip: Speechless
-
-
SebBNov 26, 2009Amazing album that completes The Fame era, Telephone will be the Poker Face of the album and a worldwide #1 success. Dance in the Dark is Marilyn Manson meets Madonna. 7/8 songs are truly worthy of being singles and add to Lady Gaga's talent.

RodHNov 26, 2009She out-did herself!!
-
-
UhOhNov 26, 2009PERFECT. She's a genius and stands out from the rest. Creates songs that are radio worthy and artistic. And she can sing. The song "Monster" is my favorite and "Dance in the Dark" is the most creative. "Telephone" is catchy and "So Happy I Could Die" is addicting. Her voice sounds incredible on "Speechless" and "Alejandro" has an awesome beat. Buy it !
-
-
DanDNov 25, 2009None of the new songs are as instantly catchy as the songs on the first album, and I'm not sure I expect any of them to be added to my regular play list.
-
-
ShaneTNov 25, 2009On;y criticism is that its too short. This album explores deeper themes than The ame and boasts catchy numbers like Bad Romance and Telephone. The lone ballad Speechless shows a side to Gaga that most people wouldn't have expected.
-
-
TimKNov 24, 2009Fantastic followup to the Fame. Several different styles and influences represented from gothic to 80s dance, from Bowie and Queen to ABBA and Madonna. Standout tracks include: Bad Romance, Monster, Telephone and Dance in the Dark.

May 2, 2012Not only does this new song cycle retain the Euro-tastic sheen of its predecessor, it outdoes it in sheer dance-floor whump.
-
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.
-
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.
