    Wow. what a p*s*ing match this is between love and hate.

    Não sei o que dizer, só sei que mais uma vez Gaga pisou na Britney massacrando o Britney Jean, Gaga rainha do pop, Britney nem rainha, nem princesa, nem pop.

    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.

    Gaga made it again! There is no bad song on this album in contrast with her other ones...
    It is clear that Gaga has put a lot of work on it!

    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.

    ARTPOP is amazing. I think it's Gaga's best work yet. I love the songs and how it's like a trip from 1)Aura to 15)Applause! I also like the artwork of the cover,Jeff Koons did an amazing job and its what it says ART&POP. The tracks i love the most are "Sexxx Dreams" "ARTPOP" "G.U.Y" "Venus" "Donatella" "Do What You Want ft. R Kelly" "Fashion!" "Dope" & "Gypsy". I recomend you to buyARTPOP is amazing.

    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.

    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.
