    ARTPOP is the fourth studio album release of the singer Lady Gaga. it sounds like her debut. but in a better way. She proves that still has a great tallent to write a stronger verse. Her vocals are amazing and the songs sounds like very futurist with a alien touch. it's very fun and she combines diferents styles of music, rock in "MANiCURE", rap in "Jewels 'n Drugs" and others.

    Another amazing record by Lady Gaga, my favorite so far.
    "Do What You Want", "Manicure", "G.U.Y", "Fashion", "Donatella", "Artpop", are the bests songs.

    I feel regret that this was not the follow up to the fame monster. Aura is the perfect opening to the song; gaga updates the idea of people wearing masks, suggesting instead we all have our burqas (and we all want someone to remove our burqa). I love Venus!

This is Gaga falling in love. She's been in a healthy relationship and in this song I hear her discovering the man that makes her happy. G.U.Y. is the gaga we all fell in love with. It's an ode to her former self. That woman is still here, but she's experienced more life. Sexxx Dreams the album's sex anthem. A gift to her fans, Sexxx Dreams is gaga's honest feelings about her sexuality. Jewel's N Drugs proves her knowledge of the genre. You know, I am glad she can play piano and have knowledge of classical music and still appreciate the hip-hip/rap genre as well. Its as catchy and listenable as any other rap bop on the radio. MANiCURE's title reminds me of Marilyn Manson's tendency for wordplay in his song titles (sAINT, mOBSCENE). Any straight girl can listen to this song and get it (also the secret gay anthem). ARTPOP 2nd best song on the album. This song is about love. Love is an art. Love is popular culture. Lady Gaga's ARTPOP is love. I'm a romantic person and so of course the song ARTPOP has my favorite lines on the album: "Lover's kites/ are flown on beaches for public sight/ the color palette you choose/ can profit you" With the song ARTPOP concludes the first half of the album. The second half steps away from Gaga's personal life to her public persona, but most importantly the second half of the album is devoted to her fans. Listening to her music in the second half I hear her messages to me, her fan. Swine is one of the songs I wish she would have released 2 years ago in 2011 when EDM and dubstep were fresh and dominating the contemporary music scene. The most aggressive song of her career. Swine addresses anger, the emotion we all feel but rarely deal with so directly. So sad that she released it this late it would have smashed just a few years ago. Next is the obvious gay anthem: Donatella. A hyperbole of the stereotypical gay dream of exuberant superiority. Many people don't understand it because its an inside-joke between Gaga and her gay fans. Fashion! in my opinion is the best song on ARTPOP because it is the quintessential Gaga song. Gaga has her private self and her public persona, but what ties them together is her unique, stunning, unrivaled fashion sense. People may criticize her music or her talent, but no one can deny she knows how to put together a look. I really wish Fashion was the single for 2013 after applause, its such a groovy tune that would have fit in great with radio hits like Royals and Get Lucky. (Also I love hearing the seductive man speaking french in the end of the song, turns me on like you don't even know). Dope is the ballad I prefer on ARTPOP. It's such a masculine song, and really clues me in into just how well Gaga understands how men think. Originally a love song dedicated to her fans, Dope transformed from "I Wanna Be With You" into a rehab anthem. Produced crystal clear anyone who has ever made a mistake can relate to the tone of the song despite its off-putting delivery.… Expand

    A consistently good album. No duds. The "worst" two songs are Donatella and Fashion, which I wouldn't even consider "bad." It's rare to have a cohesive pop album these days; they're usually filled with duds left and right or stacked horrendously with the highlight tracks first. Overall, as perfect as a pop album can get in today's industry.

There's no track that I avoid while listening to it, even thought some of them are growers, and we have Jewels and drugs, some short of experiment with R&B that maybe it's not the best song, and I could get bored of it... but it has a very interesting sound and rappers from the first line. So I recommend this album, it's the only pop singer who offers something different, innovative, and creative but being pop and catchy (in the best way) at the same time.

As for the rest like Jewels and Drugs and Dope I didn't exactly like them, you know what, I hated them, I couldn't pass half of them with out switching to another songs quickly. As for Aura, I was disappointed, why?! I never thought that Lady GaGa would make a song that I would like the demo version more that the official version, the demo version was way better, I mean, it was perfect, why did she scr*w it up?! Both songs have the exact chorus and the enigma popstar is fun part which I loved the most, but the voice that sound like,uh, I don't how to describe it. Oh and I forgot about Do What You Want which belong to the great songs of the album category, it fun and I can jam to it, and her voice match perfectly with R. Kelly's voice which made me love the song more than I thought I would.

Just because it isn't promoting a strong message like Born This Way doesn't mean the album is terrible. She's revisiting what got her famous... fun, pop music.

    ARTPOP is GOOD album with amazing sounds. I love the way she made them records so beautiful in their own way. Although some tracks will be hard to hear but there's something that the album should be great.

    ARTPOP is everything and more than I’ve expected. This album is so feminine. VENUS, MANiCURE, DONATELLA, FASHION! And the ballads in the album are so beautiful, words are so emotional it doesn't sound boring because of the electronic beats. Amazing.

This album is so feminine. VENUS, MANiCURE, DONATELLA, FASHION! And the ballads in the album are so beautiful, words are so emotional it doesn't sound boring because of the electronic beats. Amazing. I like that cosmic electronic atmosphere and the energy of the album. It's like all her albums mixed together. Those songs are so free. There are artists whose albums sound almost the same. Gaga's albums sound completely different from one another, but they have this Disco Gaga spice. I think the main purpose of this album to have a complete freedom and party, to forget all the insecurities and all the sad ballads, just have a complete techno raver pride of your identity! When listening to the whole album, in the end listening to GYPSY it makes you feel like a winner, like you’ve gone through so much and you just want to cry, but then that techno beat makes you feel so proud of what you’ve achieved and it just suddenly takes you to whole another dimension. It is very good, because that‘s how Gaga viewed it. That was the purpose to make it not so serious like her previous albums. It still has a big message, but not everyone can understand that, it‘s more about the artistry! ART and POP can belong together. I like the effort she put to work with Marina Abramovic and Jeff Koons, they really inspired her and teached her so many things and how to control her Aura. Different methods to free her mind. When watching her interviews and when she explains ARTPOP it is exactly what she has done, she represented what she wanted so perfectly. Not everyone has to like it, she made ARTPOP because of music, because of artistry, not because of money, sales or haters. Speaking of VENUS, Greek mythology and Ancient Greek Dance It represents the beauty of being a woman. the beauty of women. I think it's brilliant and still no one will ever make something like gaga, she's unique and individual, you can't compare her to somebody. She is where she is, in her place and somebody is in their place whether you like it or not. I respect her work, It's clearly something new and different, It has another energy (of love). Those who complain that her performances becoming worse and worse, I think you just don't get the main IDEA and purpose of this performance. You know she‘s not just another „POP ARTIST“ or whatever you call it. She‘s PERFORMANCE ARTIST and that is much more than you think, that is different and comparing her to Katy Perry or Kim Kardashian or whatever you name it, just doesn‘t make sense. If she wanted to create different kind of album with another message she would have done that. All in all, this is just my opinion and you don't have to accept it and agree with it. I prefer listening to Rock’n’Roll but that is what I had on mind since listening to ARTPOP, Gaga is the only artist that makes me love POP Music, and of course, I do like oldie but goldie Pop music, but just definitely not nowadays pop music. Have a good day!… Expand

Further along we have Jewels & Drugs, Gaga's amazing journey into trap music that she takes to a flawlessly ratchet new level Swine for its amazingly penned lyrics based on her pain from a molestation incident that occurred within the music industry and Fashion the Will I AM produced song that showcases Gaga's most beautiful and enchanting vocals to date. all distinctly different but essential in giving us a better idea of what ARTPOP means. Stand out tracks include ARTPOP and Mary Jane Holland where she dives into The Fame Monster and Born This Way styled sounds respectively.

    While Born This Way may have been a more cohesive pop album, clearly trying to blend 80s rock and electronic pop to varying degrees of success, for some, it just didn't hit the same pleasure center of her earlier albums.

    Born This Way featured some of Gaga's best songs, and best songwriting to date (Marry the Night, Schiesse, Hair, Edge of Glory) but was seen as being dragged down by all of its artistic pretensions and messaging.

    Gaga herself stated that her previous record was an attempting at being mature, and ARTPOP is her allowing herself to be a bit immature. Through that lens it is easy to understand ARTPOP's mission: to make you dance.

    And so ARTPOP comes with a much higher ratio of outright bangers, all reminding us of the dizzying diversity of her musical influences as she genre-trips through the album's 60 minutes.

    This is a fun, immature pop album which, while perhaps empty of meaningful commentary, was designed to be exactly that. They are vague allusions to high art, but she really just wants you to dance again.

    Is it a musical regression? Not quite. Gaga experiments with a far broader spectrum of genres than before (even a respectable attempt at electro-trap) and has incorporated new influences that should fuel interesting developments in her future albums, when her career is in a place that allows for even more musical experimentation.

    Meanwhile, she has added another batch of career defining jams to her cannon, and has shown that even though she is clearly moving in a direction that responds to some of her more recent criticisms, she is still, without a doubt, her own woman    … Expand

    It's her best work to date. Probably one of the best pop albums in years.
    The album itself is the journey of the artist: it starts with a song (Aura) daring you to know the artist behind the covers. It's a shame the critics and the haters are not even trying to do so. It seems trendy to bash Gaga these days, even though she's probably the most interesting pop artist out there.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Track by track:

    AURA: Como abreboca para el disco es idónea, porque establece ciertos parámetros de lo que podemos esperar del nuevo proyecto musical de Gaga: diversión, experimentos electropop, coros infecciosos, dobles sentidos picantes, reflexiones en torno a la identidad de Gaga como mujer/artista mientras se propone camuflar nuevos manifiestos estéticos. Y posee una de las letras más inquietantes de la carrera de Gaga, porque aquí ella nos pregunta si estamos dispuestos a verla en su forma más honesta (viniendo de ella, una apasionada creyente del artificio escapista, resulta un poco irónico tal cuestionamiento).

    VENUS: Autoproducida por Lady Gaga “sin intervención de penes”, la canción es una muestra de los talentos y excesos que hacen de ella una de las mejores compositoras/productoras de la música pop en la actualidad: una estructura “caótica” que desafía las convenciones del pop clásico (4 ganchos inconexos que se repiten incluyendo un puente juguetón a través del cual enumera los 9 planetas del sistema solar), una letra absurda que combina motivos planetarios con emotivos versos que confunden el amor con el sexo, y una demostración geek de referencias pop (notoria la influencia de Bowie y la cultura glam, con cierto toque a lo Nina Hagen, más la inclusión de un sample del jazzista Sun Ra con los versos Rocket#9 take off to the planet Venus).

    GUY: Una canción de amor que termina siendo sobre sexo (esto abundará a lo largo del disco), y en este caso con versos peligrosos que cuestionan la fiabilidad de roles aparentemente fijos como hombre/mujer, dominación/sumisión, actividad/pasividad y los trastoca indistintamente entre sí. Gaga declara que ella es el tipo (guy), cuyas siglas hacen referencia a la Chica Debajo de Ti (Girl Under You) que te hará llorar.

    SEX DREAMS: Resulta curiosa la mención de un “novio”ausente, lo cual hace pensar en tres alternativas: una relación lésbica un amante bisexual o Gaga como hombre gay tras otro hombre. De cualquier manera no se trata de una canción heterosexual en ninguno de los casos, y eso hace de esta una oda a la naturaleza maleable y oscura de los deseos marginados por la norma.

    JEWELS & DRUGS: He aquí el primero y único paso en falso del disco. Que Gaga quiera explorar otros géneros musicales está muy bien. Pero esta clase de experimentos pueden derivar en resultados dudosos y eso es lo que pasa aquí.

    MANiCURE: En este caso si hay una fusión de géneros que funciona para que Gaga y su voz resulten vencedoras. Una canción pop-rock que remite un poco a Joan Jett y Bruce Springsteen, demostrando esa alma punk que identifica a Gaga como un ídolo musical agresivo, poderoso y rebelde que actúa desde las bases del pop tradicional.

    DO WHAT U WANT: ¿qué se entiende por cuerpo? El cuerpo físico, en primer lugar, pero luego Gaga hace referencia a lo que se dice y se escribe sobre ella. Entonces cuerpo será todo aquello susceptible de ser vendido, manipulado, criticado y mancillado. El cuerpo inmaterial de la “obra” incluso puede ser sometido a juicio, ya que después de todo también es un producto. Pero hay algo esencial y único que no puede ser humillado ni mucho menos poseído. Nuevamente la integridad personal y la dignidad como artista no serán menoscabadas por nadie.

    ARTPOP: La canción homónima del disco le hace justicia a su nombre: un hermoso manifiesto estético y declaración de intenciones acompasados por unos ritmos que funden lo místico con lo carnal.

    SWINE: esta es la canción con la cual se desolla el alma en la pista de baile para entregar todo lo que somos y quedarnos con lo peor de nosotros: la oscuridad, la violencia y el deseo sin control. Canción para escenificar el vómito y las convulsiones que dejarán atrás a nuestra moribunda humanidad.

    DONATELLA: Todo el disco se presta a la perfección para una noche ininterrumpida de baile desenfrenado en un club, pero de entre todas las canciones de ARTPOP no queda duda de que Donatella fue concebida específicamente para ese propósito.

    FASHION: Las letras son algo vagas, pero queda una canción bonita con una producción correcta en torno al amor de Gaga hacia la moda y que no es mera fascinación por las superficies.

    MARY JANE HOLLAND: Afortunadamente es una canción que provoca bailar y corear aun cuando disienta de sus intenciones. Para mí, ARTPOP es suficiente como droga.

    DOPE: Funciona y cumple su cometido de ser el único corte trágico y doloroso dentro de un disco que se presenta despreocupado y con ganas de sonar a entretenimiento sin fisuras.

    GYPSY: Esperanzadora balada encubierta por sutiles ritmos electrónicos. Cuando Gaga se desentiende de todos sus gimmicks, y solo se sienta frente a un piano simplemente para cantar, todas las críticas en su contra pierden importancia para siempre.

    APPLAUSE: Los aplausos van al final, y Gaga se los ha ganado al crear una travesía de arte pop (música, vanguardia y entretenimiento) que suena espectacular en cualquier lugar, solo o en una gran fiesta.    … Expand

    Great dance/electronic album. ARTPOP is now my favorite album by Lady Gaga! It's exciting, fun, and different. Gaga is a unique entity in the pop world. It seems like other pop artists are afraid to take risk.

    Another amazing album by one of the most talented people I know. Lady gaga is Devine, I love her so much. I am proud to call myself a mini monster. She is flawless.

    This is a pure EDM,Glam,Disco Pop Album. It´s all in here,it´s fresh and fun,theatrical and cheesy,hooks and choruses to die for.It´s fierce sound is something that an ordinary popstar wouldn´t have ever dared to release.Gaga Is Risky always,Stage Diva and Vocalist..I´m old enough to be a little monster,but grateful that Lady Gaga with this one made me feel a teenager again.

    This isn't Gaga's best, but it's still a 10. This album isn't as bad as everyone says.

    This album will make you dance through tracks like GUY, Sexxx Dreams and Applause, head bang with Swine, and cry with the song Dope. This record truly is creative. Gaga's second best next to The Fame Monster.

    The reason why ARTPOP is criticised is very clear:personal dislike to Gaga.But this album is very rich with its different pop,EDM,dubstep,disco,electro,R&B,house,rock,techno sounds and with lyrics discussing such themes like love,sex,fame,fashion,self-expression,sexual feelings , submission, gender roles and etc.One thing that did critics is eating s**t. while they criticised album.SoThe reason why ARTPOP is criticised is very clear:personal dislike to Gaga.But this album is very rich with its different pop,EDM,dubstep,disco,electro,R&B,house,rock,techno sounds and with lyrics discussing such themes like love,sex,fame,fashion,self-expression,sexual feelings , submission, gender roles and etc.One thing that did critics is eating s**t. while they criticised album.So that is the album which music industry needed long time.And this album’s songs’ not only choir,but also verses sound very well unlike albums whose songs’ only choirs sound good.In one word:Gaga’ best album!… Expand

    ARTPOP is a confession of gaga's deepest thoughts, fears and sins. All is maskered with EDM music cause it helps her to feel happy as she said. I feel free while listening to this album full of love and anger. THe production si amazing, qualitatively better than her previous works. i didn't understand all the hate and negativity that people have. She is doing nothing more than her passions.

    Melhor album de 2013,é triste saber que as pessoas preferem ouvir a crítica,que resolveu detonar a Gaga,a curtir um Dance/Pop detonador.
    Pode não ser o melhor album da Gaga,mas é um album que terá seus dias de glória no futuro.

    She created an album of possibilities. The best part of ARTPOP is the way Gaga joined art + pop. The art cover is stunning and she invited Jeff Koons to make a sculpture statue in order to immortalize her image in the music's world. The album has a mix of Pop, R&B, Electro and Hip Hop, showing the diversity of Gaga as artist and songwriter. Another note to make about ARTPOP is that sheShe created an album of possibilities.

    An attention-freak's manifesto, ARTPOP stands as the artist's vision of how the fame absolved the pop star of her monsters through her creative and dedicated mission for self-expression. Lady GaGa takes us through her creation, the Kingdom of Fame, and underneath the curtain that Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta has cast upon herself. Each listen is the ride through our own ambitions:An attention-freak's manifesto, ARTPOP stands as the artist's vision of how the fame absolved the pop star of her monsters through her creative and dedicated mission for self-expression. Lady GaGa takes us through her creation, the Kingdom of Fame, and underneath the curtain that Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta has cast upon herself. Each listen is the ride through our own ambitions: self-acceptance, confidence, faith and love; and our darker sides our shone the light: insecurity, fear, addiction and death. May ARTPOP be experienced as our own minutes of fame, ourselves in the spotlight so gracefully cast over us by the enigmatic superstar, with her love as big as her voice. A phenomenal album.… Expand

    The melodies here are fine, they do a job, but nothing backs up Gag's Warholian rhetoric or scales the barmy heights of Bad Romance. [Jan 2014, p.116]

    While it’s stronger than the messy ‘Born This Way’, Artpop feels little more culture-quaking than a good collection of fun, silly, well-crafted pop songs.
