Is "Radical Optimism" the ARTPOP of the 2020's?


Recommended Posts

Both 3rd albums had major expectations due to how successful their past albums were (The Fame Monster, Future Nostalgia) then the lead single bombed or at least a flop compared to their past singles.

You can call RO the 2020's ARTPOP when it sells 5M+ WW and is top 10 on the IFPI year end chart. It already failed to debut at #1 and probably hasn't even crossed AP's opening week in total units yet :gaygacat7:

Artpop is honestly unlistenable so idc what the stats say. RO's singles are very good at the least.

I listened ARTPOP the other day in full and damn that album didnt age well. It is loud, overproduced, messy and some lyrics are really personification of cringe and dumb.

 

Compare to BTW or Fame and Fame Monster it really was not good album.

 

Hard to say how will RO age but it is much more straight forward commercial pop album which I dont think will age badly in contrary I think people will start to enjoy some songs after some time.

Houdini, TS, and Illusion clear all of Artpop. The only listenable song on that album is Applause. But her vocal delivery on that is even kinda grating.

Yes exactly. Artpop is so badly mixed. It's like nails on a chalkboard to your ears.

No, at least ARTPOP tried something.

 

I know the term Witness Era gets overused in certain circles but......

No. It's not that bad.

No meltdowns 

No ped of phile as a feature. 

 

So no. Not really

Lol no. Artpop is better and more succesful

This is like comparing that one flop Camilla album to the legendary Glitter. I'm not sure if the average person knows Radical Optimism exists.

NAAAAA

 

Radical Optimism is a good album, Artpop is not

Not quite. Applause spent several months in the Hot 100 Top 10, and it's multi-platinum. While the album is Platinum.

Artpop was fun and had character.

It's actually the Prism of the 2020s
