    This album is the top. Bad romance is one of the best songs ever. Nothing bad about this masterpiece

    Gaga at her peak. "Bad Romance" swept the nation for good reason. The production is a serve and the fame monster herself is perfectly content in this sound.

    Simply a perfect album. There isn't a track on this record that is a misfire. I can't understand why it didn't get a better metascore. The album is probably the best of the decadeI haven't heard pop genius like this since MJ or Mad. It's INCREDIBLE!!!

    A bíblia que marcou a década de 2010 e ditou a tendência do Pop. Monster é um marco, seja ao vivo, seja em álbum de estúdio

    Lady Gaga's second project 'The Fame Monster' is the definition of growth for an artist. Gaga has gone from generic pop music to poetic pop music which suits her in the best way possible. Each song on this album has its own personality and while not every track is amazing, I certainly enjoy getting a taste of what Gaga is truly capable of and I look forward to her future projects.

    Com exceção de" Speachless" e "Dance In The Dark" todo o resto é descartável. Típico Pop comercial e genérico que enlouquece adolescentes vazios e sem senso crítico. A mulher tem uma boa voz desperdiçada com toda essa produção cheia de sintetizadores e autotune.

    This iconic extended play is Gaga's best album as a solo artist, and it will be very hard for her to top this one. (I haven't listened to Cheek to Cheek or the A Star Is Born soundtrack.) I have decided to review this album over ten years after its release date because Chromatica is scheduled to release this month.

I have decided to review this album over ten years after its release date because Chromatica is scheduled to release this month. I had the privilege of attending the Washington, DC show of The Monster Ball Tour and it was electrifying. The only dud on the album is "Speechless", which is the only reason I can't give this album a perfect score.… Expand

    This EP is very good: it's cohesive, it's dark, and it has good concept - Gaga's fears.

    It's an amazing album. A great follow up to The Fame that talks about the dark side of fame. Very cohesive, great lyricism, innovative sounds.

    Absolute pop perfection. I used to listen to this album all the time when I was a kid and I recently did it again and I still feel the same, it's timeless. It has songs that make you feel empowered, that make you want to dance all night or just make you want to sit and drink in the case of Speechless. Kind of makes me wish this was a full album and not an EP, but I think that makes it raw.Absolute pop perfection.

    Con grandes letras, grandes ritmos y un impacto cultural innegable, The Fame Monster es la obra definitiva de Gaga. Con una consistencia perfecta, cada canción funciona por separado y como pieza de una obra mayor.
    Uno de esos discos que no tienen falla alguna.

    The Fame Monster is the perfect album to spend your time in club or just to hang out somewhere. But I like this album for its conception. It's really wonderful how Gaga tells us about dark fame.

    Spectacular, Brilliant, Contagious and Innovative. With an even better sound mix than The Fame, Lady Gaga undoubtedly delivers one of the best pop works ever done with striking lyrics and a mix of genres that shows how multitalented this artist is.

    For a newcomer to the pop music, this is a good album. Actually, considering the facts it's a pop masterpiece. You can't deny that. It's simple perfection. It's Lady GaGa becoming Lady GaGa. She will never be better than this, NEVER.

    Gaga mostra todo seu talento como artista pop em The Fame Monster. As faixas, que conseguem unir qualidade a potencial comercial, mostram a pluralidade da música pop da cantora.

    Not only does this new song cycle retain the Euro-tastic sheen of its predecessor, it outdoes it in sheer dance-floor whump.

    Only after being overwhelmed by the sheer visibility of her warp-speed relaunch did I realize how enjoyable and inescapable her hooks and snatches had turned out to be.

    In her music videos and live shows over the past year, Gaga has worked hard to demonstrate her creative ambition and stylistic range, and that project continues on The Fame Monster.
