Salutations, lesser beings! Your comrade in true artistry, Gay Evan, has been hard at work promoting Mother Monster‘s trailblazing and thoroughly innovative project ARTPOP. Although I haven’t had a wink of shut-eye in two weeks, it’s all been worth it to dedicate my soul, body and aura to the most talented musician to ever walk the face of Earth.
If you have any doubts about that designation—like some insipid blogger critics we know—then you should walk your bedazzled butt over to iTunes and stream ARTPOP in its completed, legendary form. This collection of songs, if you can even insult them by merely calling them “songs”, will be recognized by music scholars as one of the most ambitious, career-defining moments in the history of anything.
– Gay Evan
Listen to several selections from Mother Monster’s masterpiece below:
The heartbreaking new ballad “Dope“:
The intensely clever wordplay of “Venus“:
The pure sexiness of “Do What U Want“:
The wacky ARTPOP greatness of “Aura“:
And, of course, the greatest song ever – “Applause“:

I feel bad for Gaga
She has no idea what to do, when EVERYONE isn’t watching her.
She has resorted to flashing her Ka-GI-na (how lame)
Miley is more interesting (and smarter)
BUt if you liked “true artistry”( whatever that means) you would perhaps step out of “pop” music and seek more elaborate stuff ( less “easily consumed”, because that’s what mainstream music is about at the end of the day), certainly this album is good by mainstream music standards but there are a lot of very interesting ( I would say better) things out there, from this very century that don’t use sex /shock/cheap tricks to sell.
Guess you could start here…

Also I don’t know how old you are to get some perspective -Lady Gaga is talented and I like her, but she hasn’t invented hot water.
Can’t stand this freak clown show. Her vocals sound like some angry old Nazi woman, or something like that. Positively awful!
I liked her first couple cds,but haven’t really enjoyed anything since. She is a bit of a freak show who’s used up her 15 minutes about 3 years ago. That look at me and how weird and crazy I can be is getting as old as yesterday’s oatmeal. Now if people want great singing and real talent check out MINA.
” as old as yesterday’s oatmeal”, technically it would be one day old, right?
reductive album..
only is the best album for LITTLE DOWNS
I’m liking this album more than her last one for sure. She’s trying to head down a Bjork path though when her first album was a banger from start to finish.
The review that “Gay Insipid Blogger” linked to has more credibility in one sentence than the entire review above. The linked review is objective and points out what I’ve been feeling for a few years that Gaga is a self-posessed, unbridled, pretentious mess. She could use her vocal chops to actually sing good songs (ones that aren’t about completely space-cadet worthy) but would rather put together loud, unfocused, cacophonous noise than an album worth listening to. And I use the term “put together” loosely. It’s more like musical vomit. And that’s too bad.
I genuinely liked her first two albums. Good, catchy lyrics, well sung, and she appeared to be having actual fun. But the more attention that was paid to her, she had to get odder and odder, so attention would stay on her and feed her ENORMOUS ego, until the only people who like what she puts out are vapid people like “Gay (Insert Name Here”.
Completely space-cadet worthy topics, I should say.
THE ALBUM IS UNLISTENABLE! GIRL TAKE OFF ALL THE STAGE PROPS AND STREET TRASH YOU GLUE TO YOUR HEAD AND BODY AND JUST SIT AT THE PIANO AND SING.
YOU WOULD BE AMAZING INSTEAD OF THE JOKE OF THE POP WORLD.
She has not had a good album since her first she parted ways with her creator whom she settled out of court for millions. Gaga please go back to the guy mend your fences and make some good music. You have not been listenable since.
