    This album is thirty-five minutes of sheer pop perfection. Dark, original, catchy, and inventive, The Fame Monster was Lady Gaga at her absolute best.

    Easily Lady Gaga's best album. Lady Gaga was way more artistic on this album than she was on The Fame. The production is more creative and Lady Gaga's artistic side is shown more. The lyrics have also improved greatly. This album is an overall B+. Highlights: "Monster", "Telephone", "Dance in the Dark". Worst song: "Alejandro"

    Dance in the Dark, Bad Romance and So Happy I Could Die are great pop songs, they carry this EP.

    The rest of it is just okay, nothing outstanding, just generic pop music with generic lyrics.

    No doubt it is a good job. Gaga I managed to follow the quality that I leave you with The Fame, the only downside of this album is that half of the songs are quite commercial and its quality is very loose but very rhythmic.

    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.    … Expand

    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!!!

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.

    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.

    Absolute pop perfection. I used to listen to this album all the time when I was a kid and I recently did it again and I still feel the same, it's timeless. It has songs that make you feel empowered, that make you want to dance all night or just make you want to sit and drink in the case of Speechless. Kind of makes me wish this was a full album and not an EP, but I think that makes it raw.Absolute pop perfection. I used to listen to this album all the time when I was a kid and I recently did it again and I still feel the same, it's timeless.

    Lady Gaga's second project 'The Fame Monster' is the definition of growth for an artist. Gaga has gone from generic pop music to poetic pop music which suits her in the best way possible. Each song on this album has its own personality and while not every track is amazing, I certainly enjoy getting a taste of what Gaga is truly capable of and I look forward to her future projects.

    Con grandes letras, grandes ritmos y un impacto cultural innegable, The Fame Monster es la obra definitiva de Gaga. Con una consistencia perfecta, cada canción funciona por separado y como pieza de una obra mayor.
    Uno de esos discos que no tienen falla alguna.

    Este disco no sólo marcó a una generación sino que es el concepto del pop en sí mismo: reinvención, visión, tomar riesgos y brillar mientras lo haces.

    Not only does this new song cycle retain the Euro-tastic sheen of its predecessor, it outdoes it in sheer dance-floor whump. She creates layers of dark, self-indulgent, eye-popping music that holds up against her previous hits and is, in some cases, even more satisfying. The lead single is a powerhouse of dance waves and infectiously produced beats, but the album doesn't always stand outNot only does this new song cycle retain the Euro-tastic sheen of its predecessor, it outdoes it in sheer dance-floor whump.

    Não é um tipo de música que eu gosto muito, mas, é inegável que esse álbum é um clássico no mundo do pop e no final acabei achando ele muito bom mesmo sem gostar do estilo.

    The album describes the fear that comes with fame hence its name "The Fame Monster." Gaga embodied her own fears in every track of this EP. Bravo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 1.- BAD ROMANCE.- MONUMENTAL PRIMER SENCILLO. Sigue la linea del pop un poco agresivo de los sencillos de The Fame pero con una producción de sonido mucho más elaborada. Tambien en este track nos inyecta una gran dosis del ARTE Y PERSONALIDAD que vimos en Paparazzi y que resulta ser la fórmula ganadora de Gaga. TOP
    2.- ALEJANDRO.- ESPECTACULAR. De las canciones que al escuchar el álbum dices "ojalá sea sencillo". La mezcla de idiomas, la lírica, melodía, una obra de arte de principio a fin!. Un sonido que no sale de línea pero a la vez refrescante y sin dejar de mostrarnos PERSONALIDAD. TOP
    3.- MONSTER.- Un sonido mucho más plástico, menos agresivo. Suena bastante Madonna, Britney, y no de sus mejores canciones. Coro básico. No es una mala canción pero me suena a que solo sirvió para darle nombre al EP y por el mismo hecho esperaba más. NEXT
    4.- SPEECHLESS.- Definitivamente de las mejores baladas que tiene Gaga! De nuevo podemos ver realmente el potencial artístico que tiene para ofrecer. Podría haber sido sencillo. TOP
    5.- DANCE IN THE DARK.- De nuevo nos inyecta mucha personalidad en la letra, un pop bastante más comercial volviendo con la linea de The Fame. No es mala pero no es mi favorita.
    6.- TELEPHONE.- Un sonido muy fiel a The Fame. Tal ves la mejor colaboración que ha tenido Gaga hasta el día de hoy. La parte de Beyonce definitivamente es todo lo que necesitaba el álbum para ser un album cohesivo pero no llegar a ser aburrido.
    7.- SO HAPPY I COULD DIE.- Seguimos en la linea pop del álbum, una buena canción en general, tiene potencial en bruto, la canción más segura del disco, nada osada.
    8.- TEETH.- De nuevo nos inyecta personalidad, teatralidad, arte. Sale completamente del sonido pop comercial de The Fame pero es una canción muy buena. Un sonido muy Christina Aguilera. Me deja pidiendo un poco más del disco. TOP

    EN GENERAL: En este álbum Gaga nos ofrece ESPECTÁCULO, artes y letras bizarras. En general un sonido fiel a The Fame pero sigue fallando en cohesividad gracias a espectaculares tracks como Speechless y Teeth (Suenan a 3 cosas buenas pero totalmente distintas). En general me gusta mucho más que el anterior álbum sin embargo no llega a ser mi favorito aún.    … Expand

    Lady Gaga has an unteachable ear for pop hooks. Like damn. Full of stand outs being the singles, fun detours like "Teeth" and "Summer boy" whilst the B-sides secure enough pop-edm bangers for this album to earn its legendary status in recent pop history.

    Simply a perfect album. There isn't a track on this record that is a misfire. I can't understand why it didn't get a better metascore. The album is probably the best of the decadeI haven't heard pop genius like this since MJ or Mad. It's INCREDIBLE!!!

    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.
