It's dated yeah very of it's time but it did what it had to do on the time it was released so I don't blame her. She isn't the visionary some people say she is. She just hop on trend or a sound and tries to make the most of it just like she did with the camp dark cheeky electro pop she did it here inspired by Goldfrapp and Roisin Murphy and it worked for her during her three projects but then she lost her magic.

No?

The title track is so fun. Plus, Disco Heaven is SO underrated

a hard disagree. if anything it's her best conceptual album, even the 'filler' tracks have some charm to them

Of course it is, it's literally what Ava Max makes right now.

Gaga's music is just not as good as throwback gays want you to think it is. Which explains why she has no universally acclaimed album or general field grammy

Imo, it definitely starts to lose steam around the halfway point. It's still fantastic as a debut album and TFM is a shining evolution of TF. Some really fantastic hooks and melodies in the deep cuts too (I Like it Rough, Summerboy, and Money Honey in particular).

I'll take massively popular songs that everyone knows over general field Grammys lmao. No one cares about that except stan twitter and ATRL.

i'm not even biased when i say that it's one of the best debut records ever. it had personality and integrity from the get go, it's shimmering and sounded trendy but also nostalgic with a lot of 80's influence all over the songs! 

 

and yes some of the songs aren't very inspiring or fresh today but if we see it for what it is and how it was delivered in 2008, it's one hella impressive album!

"she isn't the visionary you think she is" meanwhile she almost single-handedly changed the direction of pop music (sound, concept, fan interaction and so on and so forth) 

all that with an avi of someone who just got her first hit by reheating the same Doja Cat song everyone and their mothers have been releasing for the past 4 years

It sounds awful in 2024, but the singles stood the test of time. Especially Paparazzi and Poker Face.

I don't like to be agressive but I'm sick of seeing her disrespected on this website by people who just jump around to stan whoever is hot at the moment
