Nobody defines gaga's discography as a masterpiece, she's not hugely acclaimed or praised by the heavens...her discography is certainly not perfect.

 

I think her discography may appear "overrated" because so much of her "consensus greatest work" is concentrated in the first 3 years of her career, while she's been in the industry now for close to 15 years.

 

I think her discography is not her strongest suit. I know every word to all her songs, and love listening to her albums but honestly I think she could have created higher quality and timeless lyrics and compositions, delve into subjects at a deeper level as a musician, with more cutting productions…at the price of less commercialization.

 

 

There's no doubt in my mind that the first 3 albums are better than the latter 3 albums . TF, TFM, and BTW are just far more consistent, cohesive, creative, and forward-thinking than AP, Joanne, and Chromatica

Yes, she only has two good albums (three if we count the Monster EP as a standalone)

 

Artpop has some nice songs, but it's a mess. Joanne is boring and bland. Chromatica is not cohesive and super generic.

It's literally her most cohesive body of work 

Kinda. Her last great album was released in 2011 (BTW). Artpop has some great songs, but all in all is very inconsistent in quality. Everything released after that has not stuck or was dated on arrival. 

The first paragraph highlighting how no one is praising her discography then going on to call it overrated

I don't think anyone praises her discography like that. You even stated so on the first paragraph. 

I think she gets a lot more negativity than other artists. I've never understood the hate for Artpop. In my opinion it's a well produced album and it sounds good even in 2024. Chromatica was also a good album. Her only "bad" album for me was Joanne. What I would like is for her to start experimenting more again. But overall I think her catalog is very strong.

To me and like, 90% of critics who reviewed it

Not really? No one is saying it's amazing, she has more duds than masterpieces and she's mostly looked upon fondly for her breakout years

 

Honestly 2009-2011 is doing a loT of heavy lifting for her overall career ever since, luckily she found soundtracks and collaborators to be successful with now. But when people think of 'Lady Gaga', they think of her image from 2010. Crazy, eccentric, and ubiquitous

The Fame Monster —> Legendary

Born This Way —> Magnum Opus, Iconique, Legendary

Artpop —> Unrealistic expectations not met, Gaga lost some legitimacy 

Joanne —> Overhated album but not good, so and so

A Star Is Born —> Essential Gaga album, but singles are main highlight 

Chromatica —> Expectations not fully met but still decent

Harlequin —> Overall solid album to ME

 

I dont think her catalog is overrated. Maybe if people act like chromatica, joanne and artpop are very good but nobody outside of a few radicalized liddos claim that

I don't think it's overrated by anyone but Monsters. People recognize that she has iconic singles from her first three years + Shallow but subpar albums. 
 

I do think she has an acclaimed album in her, though. It will happen eventually. She just needs to stop playing it safe trying to please everyone.

Nobody praises or listens to her discography like that.

It's fairly rated. She always has been a mixed bag but she has her moments of brilliance here and there

I would say it is underrated

Among the chronically online gays? Yes

Among the GP? No

People don't really praise most of her discography.

 

Artpop: Dragged

Joanne: Dragged

Chromatica: Called Underwhelming

ASIB: Really only 3 tracks are discussed

Harlequin: Well…

The Fame (Monster) is a legendary album even though some of the album tracks are fillers.

Born This Way is almost a skipless masterpiece with the most of her career highlights.

ARTPOP has some of her worst songs like Swine or Manicure, but also some of her best like Do What U Want and Gypsy (cute TEOG daughter).

Joanne is a complete chop.

Chromatica is underrated and overrated at the same time? Like, it was dated on arrival, but it's kinda the dated basic pop done right. Even though some songs are awful like Enigma and Plastic Doll... It's a cute album ala 143 and Bebe Rexha and I like it!

 

Shoutout to ASIB for having her best ballads ever, I'll Never Love Again, ARUTW, Before I Cry, Is That Alright, and fun bops like Why Did You Do That and Heal Me. 

Overall a legendary pop discography without that many awful duds - what drags it down are all these jazz albums I couldn't care less about. 

Hugely. By gays ofc. GP dgaf

From Just Dance to Bad Romance she was great, that was her absolute peak. After that unfortunately she went from a 10 to a 7 and Chromatica was not even a 5

this is so contradicting LMAO

I actually feel her discography is very underrated.
She has very unique songs with strange lyrics and melodical structures,themes and vocal effects and stuff.
So many singers today have such a predictable discography with predictable-typical topics-sound lanes
Gaga songs are very unique in a way. Her discography is also kinda ecletic with different genres and vibes and thats something to praise. Her genre shifts
There are 3 singers atrl love to praise all the time......but u listen their discography and it feels so similar. There's no real evolution there. So damn safe.
One thing we need from Gaga is a big experimental album. Something totally left field but no jazz. More like Synthpop-Electronic-Avant Garde artsy
Cause she loves to water down her projects for commercial points  I feel like she's hast explored 100% her potential as an artist. She has the brain for it.

One thing i agree is......
I just feel like her discography could have been executed better when she started but i think is very special on her own
She shines when she goes weird and she's ambitious about her projects

Tfm is her only good album. Fight may

Edited October 6, 20241 yr by Johnny Jacobs

Yes, but not as overrated as Britney's who doesn't have any good albums. Blackout is generic dance crap with shallow and ******ed lyrics.

It's no Britney's, Bey's or Taylor's but i wouldn't call it overrated tbh
