    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.

One or two take minor missteps, but the record as a whole is beautiful and risky all at once. This is the definition of pop music done right. Lady Gaga is certainly an artist and one of the best pop stars on the planet. This record proves just that.

    She should never have released such a bad recording. The songs are poorly produced, as lyrics do not make sense, there is not a minimum of cohesion between the tracks. Bizarre.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. “ARTPOP” is pure art. It is, basically, the greatest masterpiece I’ve ever experienced. Completely aware of what I’m saying, this album has changed my life. It gives me shots of raw art and its representation. I truly can’t understand why people give this album so much hate. If Lady Gaga had the chance to produce it on her way, without the pointless application of the record label, she’d probably deliver us, not only her career album, but the millennium album. Expand

    This album has many great songs, but Lady Gaga was a bit late to the game with EDM. By 2013, it was already a saturated music market - lots of great songs here though and recommend a listen to pick those songs you like

    Very diversive body of work. Besides pop, there is lots of EDM, some sadness, drugs n' love, and some rapping. It's not as bad that it was described in 2014...

    É o melhor álbum da Gaga.
    Merece 10... E quem não deu essa nota, não entende nada de arte.

    ARTPOP was trully ahead of its time, as we can see years later. The use of electronic sounds mixed with rock, hip-hop and pure pop is insane.

    Worst album of 2013, pretencious unlistenable crap, a total mess, the begining of her end, overrated by her cacafans, flop deserved

    Pure pop. Pure art-poppist creation. This album has a hidden mystery of transcendentalism that is not properly contextualized but purely genuine.

    One of Gaga's best pieces of work and Artpop doesn't get the recognition that she deserves. Start to finish this album is a piece of art there really isn't a lot to not like besides just little things. But Artpop deserved better.

    Após 6 anos, reovindo este album, posso notar genuinamente a mente brilhante de Lady Gaga. A cada música contagiante e cheia de mistérios e metáforas perfeitas e totalmente encaixadas, Lady Gaga desafia a cultura da música pop com sua rebeldia. Um álbum realmente a frente do seu tempo.

    this is a tough album.
    It was written in one of the worst phases of Gaga’s life and it perfectly represents that anger, that sadness that Gaga experienced in that period.

    A beautiful and sonically innovative album. Sadly, it was greatly overshadowed by negative press surrounding gaga. An unrecognized musical gem that deserved more than what it got.

Acredito que se tivesse sido melhor divulgado e trabalhado teria sido um dos maiores da carreira da Gaga, mas ainda assim conseguiu grandes feitos ditante de pouco ou nenhum investimento da gravadora, com a Gaga ainda sustentando a divulgação final do disco e clipes, e com toda a bagunça que houve profissional e na vida pessoal da Gaga também durante toda essa era.
    Querendo ou não esse álbum foi um divisor de águas na carreira da Gaga, foi o que fez ela dar uma pausa no pop comercial e best-selling, para ir cantar jazz com o rei dessa categoria, Tony Bennett, depois fez o intimista Joanne. Enfim, mudou totalmente os rumos de sua carreira, vai estar sempre no meu coração e vai ser lembrado por muitos! Sejam fãs, ou haters forçando o "flop" do álbum.

    Un disco muy anticipado que no logró cumplir las expectativas. Si bien cuenta con canciones muy buenas (ARTPOP) también tiene varias bastante prescindibles (X Dreams).
    La producción en general no es de mi agrado pues me parece demasiado sobreproducido, lo cual arruina canciones que pudieron ser buenas baladas al convertirlas en intentos de canción de antro.
    Con una producción más ligra

    Con una producción más ligra y un par de canciones menos Gaga y su equipo pudieron haber logrado un mejor disco.

    Gaga se queda sin una idea clara para su tercer album y termina perdiendo su esencia para pasar a ser una artista pop mas del monton y reciclando viejas ideas.

    Gaga took upbeat electronic pop to another level with this project
    melodies and beats that get stuck in my mind for weeks
    Aura is a fun playful intro Venus is such a bop i like how she she dived into other genres like the country-ish song "MANiCURE" and the RnB influenced " Do What U Want" Artpop the track is the smoothest most haunting song on the album Applause is definitely my favorite

    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.

    This is two albums in a row now that were basically a bit boring, and she needs to sort it out soonish please.
