    One of the best albums ever. Most of the songs are very original and experimental (particularly Aura, Venus, G.U.Y., Sexxx Dreams, ARTPOP, Swine), but it also contains some catchy light pop songs and some beautiful ballads. Much better than Born This Way.

    Album incrível, como a própria "Lady Gaga" disse: o álbum pode ser ouvido do início ao fim sem a necessidade de pular uma faixa. Na minha opinião, qualquer faixa do álbum pode ser single. MANiCURE é minha favorita.

    I really enjoyed this album. There are a lot of tracks that stand out to me- my favorites being Venus, Mary Jane Holland, and Gypsy. What makes this album special is that the artist truly put herself into this project and it doesn't feel like it came from anyone's mind but Gagas. You have to respect an artist who keeps the creative control.

    Ignoring all the drama and misfortune surround the album, it's a solid piece of work with exciting production and catchy, cheeky lyrics. Standout tracks: Sexxx Dreams, Gypsy, Aura and Venus.

    I think ARTPOP is a great pop work and definitely one of the best pop albums I've heard alongside with her previous work, Born This Way. There are both art and pop in there.

Gaga proves her worth with her debut self produced track 'Venus', and continues to define who she is as an artist with each exceptional track. Although met with negativity among the general public, perhaps this is just the cause of petty wars between fan bases and the ignorant descriptions of Gaga: she's talentless, she's a man, she's over. Although, she is far from over and is far from stopping. All these descriptions become disregarded when listening to 'ARTPOP', as you can hear that she is finally having fun. She finally feels somewhat free in this limited industry. For that, and for a very diverse, ballsy and standout album, Lady Gaga deserves all the 'Applause' she gets and more.… Expand

This was one of my favorite songs for an extended period of time. Now this is a very recommended song of mine. Venus 9.2/10 - Now I completely love this    While I'm a ginormous lady gaga fan I will be biased

    Heres a song run down

    Aura 9.5/10 - I fell in love with this song when it was released as a lyric video on her VEVO channel. I bought this on iTunes when it became available. This was one of my favorite songs for an extended period of time. Now this is a very recommended song of mine.

    Venus 9.2/10 - Now I completely love this song to death. VENUS! I listened to this song while playing my xbox on iTunes first look radio. I thought she was saying p*nis because of my turtle beaches on but I took them off one ear and heard VENUS!

    G.U.Y. 10/10 - This is one of my favorite songs on the album!!! Aura being another. I love the music video to death!! So welly produced and looks amazing. I love this song and will always, its still my jam after almost a year.

    Sexxx dreams 8/10 - This song is so good. I love this song and its one of those songs you is sexual but you don't care. I love it but don't really listen to it around family.

    Jewels N' Drugs 7.1/10 - Now I'm not too in love with rap but I like this song. Now I like that Lady Gaga likes to step out of the bubble she was out in of pop and can go do rap.

    MANiCURE 8.8/10 - I love this song and how it was produced. I love the background sounds (I don't know what to call it) and the lyrics are sexual but its ok.

    Do What U Want (feat. R. Kelly) 8.3/10 - Now you may listen to this song the first time and be like " what the hell she's saying to have sexual intercourse with her" but I see it as you can do what you want but the knowledge she has you can not manipulate.

    Artpop 7.2/10 - I didn't really enjoy this song too much. I skip over it often just because the lyrics don't really hit me like the other songs. Now I'm not dry heaving at the mere sound of this song but its not like I will fight off a wave of skips just to listen to it. I love the melody of it though.

    Swine 8.9/10 - I love the tempo of this song and lyrics are great. Now I love this song and listen to it (accidentally bought the clean version at first so had to rebuy it) but its great

    (I feel bad for people who type a lot because my hands hurt at this point)

    Donatella 7.8/10 - Now this is the point where I think this song is a filler. I don't have much shade to throw at this song but I don't love it.

    Fashion! 8.2/10 - I do love this song and melody but Im not placing it one of my favorite. Its not just there but it has a presence. I love the lyrics and the tempo. Defiantly a great song by her.

    Mary Jane Holland 7/10 - Worst song of artpop. Oh how I don't hate this song but its not my favorite but everyone has to have their least favorite. Now your least favorite may not be as low as a score as this song but everyone has a least favorite.

    Dope 7.9/10 - I have nothing against this song which I interpret as her song about her drug addiction or a friend with one. But I do like this song.

    Gypsy 8/10 - I do skip over this song a lot but its because I have to be in the mood to listen to this song but when I am I love it.

    Applause 8.2/10 - Now I know this is a contender to Katy Perrys "Roar" but I cant listen to roar anymore. I cant do it. Its too overplayed on my part (just like the songs I like on Prism) but this song isn't due to its beat and lyrical genius put into it.    … Expand

    álbum muito bom,Gaga compôs muito bem suas faixas e a produção por parte de Zedd e Gaga não deixam a desejar. melhores faixas são Dope,Gypsy e Do What U Want e até o remix com Aguilera não deixa a desejar,chego a pensar que seria melhor esta faixa com a cantora aguilera,a extensão vocal é percepitível em ARTPOP.

    Don't let the naysayers get to your head! Lady Gaga is far from over and this album proves it. It's definitely her most energetic release to date, where she commands you to dance on the floor for 14/15 songs on the album. If this album is bad, then Katy Perry is the banana peel I just threw out.

Distancing away from her recent pop material with genre's such as Disco and Electronic, the tracks make you wanna get up and dance. Finishing off with ballads "Dope" and "Gypsy", she shows a more personal side of her emotion. Though the album doesn't contain material that a large audience would appreciate, she connects with her fans that share her same passion that creates the ART in ARTPOP.

    Certainly Mother Monster's best work to date. As a close-up fan, my expectations were raised after the 2 year wait, and were fulfilled entirely. Some songs showcase vocals, while some others make you want to dance. A dance/electronic/edm album that is certainly underrated; definitely and without doubt one of the best releases of 2013.

    An amazing album from an amazingly talented artist.

    Lady Gaga proves once again that she is one of the biggest players in the world of pop music. Excellent work. ARTPOP is the spiritual successor to The Fame and The Fame Monster we have all been waiting for! While Born This Way was laden with songs about acceptance and expressing yourself, ARTPOP is jam packed with songs that are so    An amazing album from an amazingly talented artist.

    Lady Gaga proves once again that she is one of the biggest players in the world of pop music. Excellent work.

    ARTPOP is the spiritual successor to The Fame and The Fame Monster we have all been waiting for! While Born This Way was laden with songs about acceptance and expressing yourself, ARTPOP is jam packed with songs that are so infectious and fun, you can't help but want to strap on a pair of dancing shoes and hit the club.

    Lyrically speaking, ARTPOP is a mixed bag. While not always Gaga's strongest material, you will find many influences spanning Leonoard Cohen in Dope and the B52s, (and an amazing nod to Sun Ra,) in Venus. Donnatella seems to be the weakest lyrically, but taking that song too seriously would be foolish; it's about as tongue and cheek as it gets.

    I would have loved to give this album a perfect 10, but Gaga's only misstep was Jewels N Drugs; a track that I have deleted from my ARTPOP playlist and will simply pretend never happened. Please never do rap again, Miss Gaga! It is not your strong suit!

    Overall, ARTPOP is a sonic confection and should be enjoyed by many, especially those of us who have been so fond of her antics for so long.

    This album gives me a BRAND NEW,FRESH experience about ART and POP! I'm not dare to say a breakthrough in POP music but it is certainly something fresh and an absolutely great experience in listening to this album... Suggested that the lyrics of ARTPOP(song) is amazing and the other songs' lyrics are also inspiring!!! I just dance with the tracks!

    "ARTPOP" is the biggest album we had this year!! It is complete pop music album released in a very long time! IT SCREAMS ICONIC! Obviously, It's Gaga's best album in her 5-year long career! The album is a masterpiece and I am here to tell you how!

    Starting with the first track of the album i.e. "Aura"...This song is one of the most iconic EDM songs ever! The reason of it being an iconic EDM track is that it's the most unique EDM track I've ever heard! Lyrically, yes a bit controversial, but the lyrics are fine! Vocally, it's one of Gaga's best Zedd has done an amazing work on the production!

    From "Aura"..The album moves to one of the weakest moments in the album. The second song on the tracklist "Venus" which was earlier rumoured to be Gaga's second single from the album. The best thing in the song is it's production and the amazing thing is that Gaga produced the track herself. Though, I loved the production only. Lyrically Vocally, it's not as good as other tracks on the album. But still it's filler at it's best!

    Moving towards the 3rd track on the playlist.."G.U.Y." The opening intro to the song alone suggests us that it's the best track on the album! The song is one of the highlights of the album one of Gaga's best so far! The verses are amazing, pre-chorus is amazing and the chorus is superb! Lyrically, the song is great..you would love to sing it! Vocally, also, it's great! Good production too!

    After "G.U.Y."...album takes us to the best track on the record!..Sexxx Dreams.... Even the best track out of Gaga's discography! The reason it's the best is the song's lyrics..it's production..Gaga's vocals. With all it's Janet-esque, the song becomes a legendary masterpiece! A few day earlier..I was really depressed that where the pop music has lost. Even "Born this way" failed to do so. the only complete pop song in the album is "The Edge Of Glory". But Sexxx Dreams tells us that Lady Gaga is the best popstar alive we have today! The music is different..and that's what makes it ICONIC...totally!

    Then "Jewel N' Drugs" where Gaga makes her debut effort in hiphop! The song is good but not that good as compared to the rest of the album

    The next on the tracklist is MANiCURE...A bit of pop A bit of rock Gaga's rockstar vocals A ROCKING ROCK SONG! The song has good production good lyrics but the best thing in the song is Gaga's vocals!! Good Song!

    "Do What U Want", the 7th track on the album! Among the top 4 tracks on the albumVocally, It's Gaga's best song! Lyrically, it's great! and production is fine!! It reminds me of MJ!!! Thank God! It's the second single and "Venus" is not!

    The album leads us to the title track of the album!! "ARTPOP" It's thrilling and pulsating! A good title track for the album.

    "Swine" a crazy pop song with great synths Gaga's killing vocals! Gaga has done a good job on the track vocally!! GOOD!

    "Donnatella" is amazing too, Vocally and Lyrically! Production could have been a little more good! Otherwise..it's good and can be treated as a single!

    "Fashion!" This also one of the weakest on the album..but it's still good! this is the only will.i.am production I like! It's different from others! Lyrics are good! Will.I.Am's vocals in the song are also good!!

    "Mary Jane Holland"..One of the highlights on the album with it's crazy production and tasty Gaga vocals! Bridge is also good! Chorus is catchy!

It came true with this album. Gaga wanted to create something different that her previous albums. It really can be called "masterpiece". Every lyrics is unique and clever, if you understand it. Melodies are matched to her voice from diffefent genres. All 15 tracks are incredible:
    Gaga sings about:
    -fame("Applause" , "Donatella" , "Fashion!" and "ARTPOP")
    -love ("G.U.Y" , "Gypsy" , "Venus" and "MANiCURE)
    -sexuality ("Venus" in historical sense , "G.U.Y" "Sex Dreams" , "MANiCURE" and "Do What You Want")
    -overcoming addicts ("Mary Jane Holland" , "Dope")
    -fashion ("Donatella" , "Fashion!")
    -music ("ARTPOP")
    -dreams ("Gypsy" , "Aura", "Jewels N' Drugs")
    -pain from the past ("Swine")
    Mrs.Germanotta created very good music for her album and she's never wanted to compose and write a song without any sense. I am so proud of the record and I think that it deserves more sales. I've listened to the album very often and it's never made me bored since I first heard for all 60 minutes. I really love every song and all the production.
    If i could choose a song for fourth single it would be- "Gypsy" ,and for fifth single- it would be "Fashion!" Hope that album will be appreciated even though it has failed.

Other amazing tracks on this album include Mary Jane Holland, Venus, Donatella, and Dope (the best pop ballad of the 21st century honestly).

    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.
