MOOPY SYNC LISTEN - LADY GAGA - ARTPOP - 8pm Tuesday 16/06

[dmlaw]

"Rich as piss" I am going to predict that Gaga's piss was very 'rich' indeed when she came up with that line.

 

[lolly]

MJH actually brought me right back into it

[Pingu]

I bet Dope will go down like a lead balloon in here.

I love it.

I guess I just don’t really GET it.

 

[GinAg (39)]

What's with all the "overcooked" comments? It's a f**king Lady Gaga record. It's why we love her...or at least it should be.

Bring me ALL THE OVERCOOKED POP MUSIC THERE IS.

I also think people are so used to listening basic, cookie-cutter bullshit, that anything outside of that is seen as "overcooked". That's not good people.

Can't believe I got my own taste wrong until you told me better.

 

[HeLikedTurner]

Waiting patiently for "Louise had a better ballad on Elbow Beach" comment.

 

[HeLikedTurner]

Can't believe I got my own taste wrong until you told me better.

Not a problem!

 

[Pingu]

God her voice is hard to listen to on this. She really only had the one gear vocally for a while.

 

[Jark]

The titular lyric of the chorus is SO unappealing and clunky. Not what a stripped back ballad like this needed at all. Her Shallow moment was a LONG way off.

It's not a bad song otherwise, but misses the emotional hit she was clearly going for.

 

[dmlaw]

I'm enjoying 'Dope'. It feels like it has come from a totally different album to everything else so far. It's one of the few songs which hasn't been overwhelmed by messy production.

'Gypsy'

 

[Jark]

I'm glad this album is almost done cos I really need to shit

 

[GinAg (39)]

Dope is a pleasant distraction from the similar production so far. I think Do What U Want really is missed when listening to this as a package.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Gypsy is a legit Gaga BOP OF COURSE!

 

[GinAg (39)]

I'm glad this album is almost done cos I really need to shit

She's doing it for you!

 

[Pingu]

Speaking of songs that come from completely different albums...

Gypsy would be so much more at home on Born This Way but I’m so grateful for it here.

 

[HeLikedTurner]

Gypsy is the 8 weeks at #1 single that never was.

[Jark]

Gypsy is a fantastic, straightforward anthem which feels universal and just about avoids being reductive even when she's listing off countries like a stoned geography professor.

How this was not the third single is beyond me. A surefire easy hit.

 

[dmlaw]

Okay, I like Gypsy as well. It's the first time on the album that she's gotten out of her own way and just recorded a damn fine pop song.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Gypsy really is a relief. Gaga by numbers and all the better for it.

 

[Pingu]

I think Springsteen Gaga might one of my favourite Gagas...

The kids were listening to tropical house by the time this came out.

 

[Jark]

Even the love and treat your mother line is sweet.

She does stadium rock for gays like nobody else.

 

[GNL]

Same. I would love an entire album of it one day.

Fuck JAZZ.

[Jark]

BABY FOR LIFE
(would you go with me?)
TONIGHT
(see the world with me?)

Anyone could ask me that question after I've listened to this song and I'd probably say yes.

[Jark]

And then this stuck on right at the end?!

In an odd way I think Applause works as the closer actually.

Being the (second) best song on the album helps.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Applause was the lead single wasn't it? Just slotted in at the end like a bonus track.

 

[GNL]

BANGER. The video is also one of my favourites.

Weird to place it here on the album though.

[dmlaw]

Applause is fine, though it very much falls into the traditional Gaga trap of repeating the title rather writing some more lyrics.

 

[Jark]

Well, I enjoyed that a lot.

Full disclosure, I skipped Swine because I don't hate myself that much.
