It was more content than The Fame and BTW’s 10 year anniversary 

Maybe you should lower your expectations for a 10 year album anniversary. What do other artists do? What did Katy do for Prism?

It's not the same with ARTPOP and you know that. As she said, multiple times, an ACT II was supposed to be released. So expecting a few tracks (like 3/4) for a 10th anniversary deluxe edition is actually quite logical? Of course a whole ACT II would never be released in 2023, but adding Brooklyn Nights, Temple and Tea and one remix to the album would've be more than enough. 

 

But instead we got ugly, cheap and overpriced merchandise  so much for music not the bling. This anniversary was handled in the worst way by her team, at least we got some leaks I guess. 

why temple and tea, we know nothing about them

Brooklyn Nights, Temple and Nothing On were all considered to be on the album, as we saw with the leaked documents, that means these songs were done. And TEA, well, it's easy to guess, it was the song they teased the most before the album release... but I just used these three as examples. 

It's very nostalgic to listen to the album and remember everything that happened during that era, seeing the love fans have for the album is really emotional, as a base, we really were in a hard time, and we know Gaga was in a very tumultuous time too, at the end, we really could belong together and ARTPOP really could mean anything. 

Brooklyn Nights was rightfully scrapped tho

not when the bridge and the outro are highlights in her discography  should've replaced Jewels N Drugs. 

Where are the leaked documents? I only saw some audios, the original cover (love it) and the Inez and Vinoodh photoshoot. I'd love to see some Patrick Demarchelier or Ruth Hogben.

as I said, adding 3 songs for a deluxe would've been pretty cool and take 0 effort. There was literally no reason not to do that. 

The BN bridge sounds like a caricature of herself with those vocals, though I know it’s not finalized

I don't get what you mean "there was no reason not to do that".... maybe she just doesn't want to release those songs. There was literally zero reason to believe it was going to happen so I don't get why it's annoying

well, she could simply have wanted to do something cute for the fans who have remained mobilized behind this project for a decade? And again, Temple and Brooklyn Nights were supposed to be released, it's not like she hated these songs, they almost made the album. So, yeah, there was no reason not to release at least these two. 

Never expected something to come out today considering what a **** show the artpop era was for her mentally. Let it rest in piss even though the album is amazing

But sis, that was a decade ago. Things change. Plans change. She was also going to release a mariachi version of Americano at one point, I don't think any of us are expecting that to drop someday now. She's clearly moved on from that era of her career and has no desire to release any of that music. It's sweet that fans have remained mobilised behind the project for a decade, but some of us have been trying to tell y'all that you were kidding yourselves believing that any of those songs were going to be released. There's no reason to be frustrated at Gaga for not releasing those songs when we had no reason to believe that would happen.

I firmly believe the reason why she doesn't want to do anything about ARTPOP is because it is legally tied to Troy and getting new songs out would require getting in contact with Atom Factory. Granted, it's not like she would be the one handling all that kind of stuff, but I can see why she doesn't even want to give it a thought.

 

The album, unfortunately, didn't bring her nothing good in life and considering it was completely absent from her last tour, I don't think she wants to face the trauma regarding the whole era.

When will interscope update her certifications…The Fame and Shallow should be diamond by now

This reminds me of the ARTPOP app countdown when fans wanted to believe something was coming, even though it was obvious the app is dead. Gaga even had to tweet something along the lines of "I wouldn't expect much" and yet the fans were still disappointed. It's a lose-lose situation for her.

It kind of gives me an existential crisis to know that all these moments in Gaga’s career are deeper in the past with each passing day. 

 

This classic bop, top 10 in her discography  I remember being obsessed with this song back then, and I'm still obsessed with it in 2023 (her vocals in this performance tho )

Fashion! is one of those songs that makes ARTPOP even stronger as an album for me.

Each song has its own identity, and I love the Disco-Funk detour Fashion! takes.

 

She sounds great and the production aged well. Also when she strips it back and the bridge and she holds that note to build to the ridiculously fun breakdown. Will & David knew exactly what they were doing. It’s aged well

I still think one of the most hilarious things about Gaga's entire career was the way the ARTPOP app was hyped for over a year as some revolutionary innovative way to release music in the digital age in a way that would change the way fans would receive and interact with music and all we ended up getting was this:

you're right, Fashion! is my favorite song on ARTPOP! All her Fashion songs are 10/10 (yes, even Fashion Of His Love but this base is not ready for that conversation yet). The only mid Fashion song is Black Jesus + Amen Fashion, but it's still a bop!
