    Her second album after the "welcome to the pop" scene with The Fame. Great songs, infectious melodies, really pop music. Gaga proved she has come to stay.

    The Fame Monster is Lady Gaga's best album to date. Each song is unique, the production and the writing are great and you cannot help but to sing along to these iconic hits, like Bad Romance or Telephone.
    Her contemporaries should take notes. This is music. This is art.

    One of the best albums I have ever heard in my life with iconic singles such as Bad Romance and Telephone and overall just being amazing with a unique dark tone. Favourites include Bad Romance, Telephone, Monster, Dance In The Dark and So Happy I Could Die. The only reason I'm not giving this album a 10 is the song Teeth which I simply do not like at all.

    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.

    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.

    Only 8 songs gave Lady Gaga her most succes album ever. Bad Romance is the most iconic song from the 00' and Telephone, the best colaboration ever. Queen

    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.

    Every single song tells a different story, if The Fame was a great album, The Fame Monster is just amazing, specially considering Gaga´s previous success, she managed to outdo herself with this record.

    IMPACTANTE ALBÚM POP, um dos melhores do ano de 2009. Todos as 8 músicas poderiam ser sigles. A vibe gótica, com refrãos tocantes e grudentos de pop bom! GAGA FOI PERSPICAZ NESSA!

    Solid dark pop for the masses, Lady Gaga makes history with this album talking about monsters.. the fears of her life. Includes the best Pop masterpieces of this new century, her amazing voice sings deep and complex lyrics, showing shades and different states but at the same time all that things related making it consistent. The Fame Monster is a big punch to refresh pop music and leave a legacy.

    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.
