base talk Better album: Born To Die vs The Fame Monster

[Aethereal]

Both huge and generally well loved albums but which one is your favorite. 

[Aethereal]

This includes 24 tracks on both sides. 

[suburbannature]

Born to Die was one of the best albums of the decade according to decade-end lists by critics (particularly remarkable after its initial reception).

[Loca]

The Fame and The Fame Monster work better separately, so Born to Die + Paradise it is. 

[ThomasTea]

I LOVE both albums but BTD has aged much better. TFM (more so TF) has aged considerably, however that also kind of adds to its appeal, so it's close! 

[Verandi]

I was obsessed with both at release, but to me, Born To Die stood the test of time. It sounds timeless to me, every song, every melody feels fresh. Every song feels like it's part of a movie, Lana really sold a story, a feeling, a world building experience, no wonder it is still charting in the Billboard 200.

The Fame Monster I also loved, but being honest it sounds like a product of its time and don't listen much to it anymore.

Born to Die is the best female album from the 10's

[Kimi]

btd sounds cringy now 

[xfreshkidxx]

Gaga by far

[Lose My Breath]

BTD for sure

 

It's a classic

[NOW]

BTD but both are the biggest cultural resets of our time. It's fascinating to remember that one man saw their potential before any of us had even heard their names.

 

[Jay07]

The Fame is mostly filler outside of the singles and Starstruck so Born to Die, it's a lot more consistent. Now, The Fame Monster vs. Paradise is another story.

[Papi Juancho]

Born To Die aged better, but TFM has more iconic songs

[DiabeticGrandpa]

Born to die is a Classic and inspired most of the music landscape today.

 

The fame is outdated

The production may have dated a bit but The Fame is also a classic and basically reshaped pop in its image from 2009-2012

btd, not a single skip!!!!

For it's BTD by far. The Fame has great singles and tracks for it's time though.

 

Poker Face, Just Dance, BR, Monster and some more.

 

Which are top 5 fave songs of TF and Mosters. 

 

 

 

 

I might have a streaming party for both today
