Lady Gaga - ARTPOP [2012]

I like the Blondie vibe of this one...

okay some of the itunes festival songs sounded really good, particularly "manicure" and "sex dreams"

Yeah I was kind of resigned to being indifferent to most of the songs here after Applause, but I really liked a fair bit of what I heard. Very Pat Benatar in some spots. Also the lyrics are ridiculous in the right ways (aka Gaga lyrics circa The Fame/Monster instead of Born This Way).

yeah i feel like her increasingly flailing approach to singles doesn't necessarily reflect poorly on the album's chances of being good. Born This Way was easily better than the title track and "Judas" had people expecting.

she's hot and she's cold

I wonder if, if you spend so much of your life wearing little clothing, if it feels weird when you suddenly have to wear clothes. Like in "Fast Times," when Sean Penn walks into a restaurant, and then takes his shirt off? Just all topsy turvy? Does Gaga wake up in the morning, head to the dresser, then just say, eh, fuck it, and walk about in her undies all day?

people in their undies need to stop. in 10-20 years people will look back on this time and say 'hmm that was weird when everyone was in their undies all the time'

Gaga has spent most of her life clothed. New York winters are tough.

this lady is so ridic

i mean "ARTPOP", come on, I will never be able to get over that

Lady Gaga was born naked and she will die naked.

that's fine but she can wear clothes in between.

I can't tell if the title track literally saying "my artpop could mean anything" is a knowing nod to her own ridiculous or purely on accident.

really embarrassed by this album title tbqh

Hey you! Yeah, I'm talking to you, sassy girl. Need a little ahh in your step? Try this on for size: i-i-i-i-i-it's Pop! I-i-i-it tastes real good and makes you feel kind of funny, not here, not down there, but all up in this area.

gaga's arch voice always makes me think of nina hagen-ish new york shiz, like this (awesome) 80s band:

Creames Fartpoop is embarrassed to be associated with this album title

ok, "Applause" is cool except for those lyrics in the second verse that make me cringe

yeah i may never get over that snippet of the 2nd verse itt being the first thing i heard of the song

kinda appresh that it feels a bit ~scaled down~

It isn't just the second verse -- it's how she sings those lyrics too.

indeed

i kind of like those lyrics but in a phantom of the paradise way, how fake pop stars in movies will have really on the nose lyrics about being pop stars

god I just envisioned a Paul Williams-Gaga song.

or The Apple. It's pretty The Apple.

Kinda like the Moloko Bar meets "these are paintings coming at ya bleeeccch!"

bad attempt at Don Martin sound effect.

Sensing a cover connections thread ...

I'm on my phone, can someone else post Michael Sembello's The Lost Years

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61yQ456my5L.jpg

i almost feel lik the stupider all the promo is the better some of the songs will be though

otm the more obviously silly she is the less she annoys me

3. G.U.Y.
4. Sexx Dreams
5. Jewels N’ Drugs ft. T.I., Too $hort, and Twista

really hoping "jewels n drugs" picks up where "cake like lady gaga" left off

she did that one at the iTunes festival.

Applause as the closer is kind of LOL.

Yeah, she played it at itunes festival. T.I. uploaded a studio quality snippet featuring his whole verse (which opens the track):
