    ARTPOP é um dos melhores álbuns da Gaga, com ou sem o Do What U Want nas plataformas digitais e de streamings, conceito, arte, tracklist, tudo impecável.

    This is the best pop album Lady Gaga has ever recorded so far. Venus is mystic pop song, lyrics and melody combine in a way you never heard of. Sexxx Dreams is clubby and dancing and Gypsy is one of the best baladas Gaga has ever released.
    This album is so original and I dont understand why most Gaga fans didnt like it when it was released.

    Even after 5 years this albums still feels fresh. Bad managment and bandwagon hate train made it seem like it's not good. Gaga could have done so much with this album. But I still love it.

    i don't know why did this album flop. it is a big masterpiece (maybe except mary jane holland)!!!! better than ASIB 100%. that album is defining Gaga's thoughts on musıc, on art. this is a masterpiece. check G.U.Y, Sexxx Dreams and Donatella...

    Lady Gaga's third studio album is my favorite project from her so far. 'ARTPOP' pushes all the boundaries of pop music and more. Every song on the album is so dynamic in terms of production and lyrical context. Gaga's vocals are outstanding on every track. One or two take minor missteps, but the record as a whole is beautiful and risky all at once.

    An album that could never live up to the hype surrounding it, only some of which Lady Gaga controlled. For her part, she failed to coherently and consistently deliver a message of intent for ARTPOP; instead, her descriptions only added fuel to the fire with meme after meme about a 'reverse Warholian' experience that was unrelatable to, well, everyone. In a more human language, ARTPOP wasAn album that could never live up to the hype surrounding it, only some of which Lady Gaga controlled. For her part, she failed to coherently and consistently deliver a message of intent for ARTPOP; instead, her descriptions only added fuel to the fire with meme after meme about a 'reverse Warholian' experience that was unrelatable to, well, everyone. In a more human language, ARTPOP was about elevating the art of music above the celebrity status attached to the persona behind it.

    The marketing and visuals behind Applause fit this narrative perfectly, as she ran through her previous era's iconic looks and slowly dismantled them in the video and performances. The album's opener - Aura - states the album's purpose clearly: "Do you want to see me naked lover? Do you want to peak underneath the cover? Do you want to see the girl who lives behind the aura?" Blunders like allowing Do What U Want, an empowering anthem about taking back control of her own self from the industry in its solo form, to be twisted into an in-your-face explicit duet with R. Kelly, and getting performance artists to overpower the music and rollout of future singles, rerailed any shot ARTPOP had.

    It has received some love in hindsight 7 years later, but it should have never been so defamed.

    As it has been said, ARTPOP was ahead of it´s time.
    Calling Gaga a ¨tryhard for a topchart pop single¨ or ¨mainstream¨ in ARTPOP is probably one of the funniest thing I´ve heard so far, but clearly critics in 2013 have a lack of proper reviewing ability, especially when trying to compare Gaga´s work with other artists, releasing music back then.

    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.
