    The name says it all: ARTPOP.
    I still couldn't understand why it flops in the first place

    Lady Gaga's Achilles heel is melody and progression, she just seems to rarely get it right. However, when she gets it right, the results are truly impressive, as she's got a really strong and distinct music personality that's never lost even in the worst cuts.

    ARTPOP is a electronic dance pop masterpiece. This album doesn’t deserve to be forgotten

    De uma coisa temos certeza, quando a Gaga sai da zona de conforto e tenta algo mais experimental, ela consegue fazer coisas realmente boas. Não é atoa que o ARTPOP é o melhor da carreira dela.

    Su MEJOR álbum. No se por qué la gente lo tiene tan infravalorado cuando está lleno de temazos y joyas.

    As her most experimental album to date, Gaga certainly had her hands full behind the scenes during the process of creating this album.

That being said, this album certainly is not her best work, but it's not bad at all. ARTPOP serves as a career highlight because of the pure artistic creativity and innovation exuding behind each and every one of these hypnotically rhythmic EDM & electro-pop influenced tracks, and with career-defining songs like Gypsy, Dope, and the infamous Applause, Gaga proves that even at some of her lowest points, she's still gonna push through and further prove she's one of the greatest of all time.… Expand

    Gaga’s best release. It is experimental, interesting, and definitely stands out in her discography.

    A enjoyable album. With very good songs. Sometimes its songs sounds repetitive, in the plot of the songs, but the musical production and its cool and fun electropop rhythms bring you a enjoyable experience when you are playing the songs.

    Artpop!

    A very very underrated album. It's my third favorite (after Born this Way and the Fame), tied with Chromatica, right now, I highly believe it was ahead of her time.

    Este álbum es muy bueno, sinceramente es un trabajo que Lady Gaga hizo y muy bueno la verdad, no tuvo mucho reconocimiento y eso me es injusto la verdad, pero al fin de cuentas siempre voy a anhelar que Lady Gaga haya hecho tremendo y majestuoso álbum, lo amo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sus letras son muy vacías, en applause noté una diferencia, en artpop también. En Aura se demora mucho para empezar. Venus es muy buena pero se nota que es relleno. Artpop es muy repetitivo su ritmo aunque la letra la salva. Swine parece soundtrack de Geometric Dash, pero vacío y repetitivo. Manicure, G.U.Y y Applause son las mejores de todo el álbum. Mis expectativas cayeron ya que ella misma dijo que sería el álbum del siglo pero no fue lo que esperaba.… Expand

    Ahead of it's time. This is an underrated masterpiece, and i will not forgive anyone who think that this is her worst album. it's her BEST album, and it's one of the best album of the 2010's.

    Our queen, Lady Gaga has amazing albums, but in this case, Artpop is my less favorite.

    ARTPOP’s music is at least more three-dimensional. Modern EDM and ’80s synthpop are the dominant influences, meaning songs explode with rubbery keyboards, digital zaps, insistent beats, and manipulated vocals. “Applause” is equal parts Teutonic techno and Grace Jones; “Gypsy” starts with simple piano and blooms into a high-energy electro anthem; and “Sexxx Dreams” has a breathy synthpopARTPOP’s music is at least more three-dimensional.

Still, Gaga’s weird streak comes through—the record also has raging electric guitars (the Adele-goes-wild “Manicure”), sparkly R&B electro (the R. Kelly-featuring “Do What U Want”) and Sun Ra quotes (“Venus”). EDM stalwarts Infected Mushroom even collaborate with Gaga on “Aura” for a hiccuping disco hopscotch.… Expand

    An underrated masterpiece. There are of course some low points but I can easily say that is in its complex a very good record. Absolutely loved Sexxx Dreams, Dope and Venus.

    I love it. It is a very conceptual and experimental album, too early for its date, which made it not so well received. From 'Aura' to 'Applause' the sounds are magnificent and very pleasant to listen to, for me it is a masterpiece. My favorite Lady Gaga album.

    Jewels N' Drugs is actually a fun song if listeners give it a chance, a nice EDM hiphop song.

    Swine sounds so abrasive and weird but it really evokes what Gaga is really trying to convey regarding her traumatic experiences.

    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.
