.: Review - ARTPOP Part 2 :.

Okay let's get started right away, I'm not even going to bother refreshing your memory of what this is about since the previous post is right underneath this one.

6.) MANiCURE - (Heal me 'CAUSE I'm ADDICTED TO LOVE. Save me 'CAUSE I'm ADDICTED TO LOVE! Manicure!) Before I actually heard this song I was feeling skeptical of this song because I was thinking it would be one of those songs that would not be catchy to me much like the later songs from "Born This Way". But I was proven wrong when I heard her sing at the ITunes music festival. The version on the CD is actually different from the one she sang live, for some reason she decided to change the lyrics a bit and even if I prefer the original version this one is still my favourites. What I really admire about this song is that you can really feel the mood of this song as well as her tone of voice. It sounds scratchy and very rock (Is that a word? I'm still going to use it.)

7.) Do What You Want ft. R. Kelly - (So do what you want,what you want with my body. Do what you want, don't stop, let's party!) This is the second single for Gaga and at the moment everyone is raving about it. Many critics praising this R&B song as very 80's vibe and it's true I really do love the 80's throwback vibe I get when I listen to this. This song is about the entertainment industry and paparazzi that has been attacking Gaga in hurtful ways. She's basically trying to counter that by being not affected at all by any of the bad press which makes me like the song even more knowing the message it comes with.

8.) ARTPOP - (We could, we could, we could belong together ARTPOP ARTPOP ARTPOOOOOP) When Gaga first sang this live for the first time at the itunes festival I didn't like it one bit. I thought it was too hippie and annoying for my own liking. But I was proven wrong once I listened to it again, it is actually quite catchy, that damn Gaga.

The cd booklet

9.) Swine - (I know I know I know I know you want me, you're just a pig inside a human body) So this is one of the songs that I could connect and engage with the more I listened to it. This song is basically about how the public and paparazzi always comment on her body and her weight. She feels like she is just an item and that she is just an ugly pig on the inside which isn't right. When you think about it, it's true, celebrities are always being haggered for being overly fat or too skinny by the magizines they can never catch a break. I actually think this song and "Do What You Want" are quite similar in terms of the message it displays to the audience. Also this is a very catchy song because of the dubstep that Gaga experiments with here.

10.) Donatella - (I am so fab... I'm blonde... I'm skinny... and I'm a little bit of a bitch...) I am IN LOVE with this song. This song was actually written for Donatella Versace because the two became really good friends with each other, I think at one point Donatella even said that Gaga was her muse. Anyways back to the song, the song to me sounds kind of silly and more of a fun song rather than a serious song that carries any actual message. Gaga sings about the urge and strife to be skinny so that she would be able to wear the clothes and walk catwalks down the walkway.

11.) Fashion! - (FASHION! looking good and feeling fine, looking good and feeling fine) This song is not the same Fashion song that Gaga did a while back this one is different, this one has an exclamation mark! Fashion! might sound similar to a Will.I.Am song to some people and that's because he helped produce the song. This song, like many of Gaga's other variations of Fashion is basically just an ode to fashion and further elevate Gaga's love for weird fashion and just fashion in general.

12.) Mary Jane Holland - (I think that I could be fine, if I could meet Mary Jane Holland tonight.) Honestly I don't like this song, actually you can say I hate this song. This song is about weed and her love for weed and stuff. I don't exactly know what this song is about I have no love for this song and have no care for this song. This was the other song that I never got into and never will. Even from the start I never liked it. When she released the preview teaser for it I hated it and I still do.

the tracklist

13.) Dope - (My heart would break without you, might not awake without you. Been hurting low, from living high for so long) Okay so at first I hated this song, but then after a few more listens I slowly eased into it and now this is one of my favourites from the album. I can really hear and feel the pain Gaga is in when she has the dilemma in having to choose between weed or her lover. In the end she chooses the lover because "she needs him more than dope". It is a powerful song in which it shows how much she values her relationship with that lover more than the drug she is addicted to and how she is willing to give that up for love.

14.) Gypsy - (THE WHOLE SONG) Hands down the best song in the whole album, I'm surprised this song isn't my top played song on my ipod yet (that record is currently held by Ms. Miley Cyrus) This song builds the connection between her and her little monsters and which she explains to us that she is essentially a gypsy and travels the world in order to meet and greet each and everyone of us. I just can't, this song is my life and I just love it so much.

15.) Applause - (I live for the applause applause applause I live for the applause plause plause // A-R-T-P-O-P) This is the last song in the album in which Gaga felt that her audience deserves a song that concludes this master piece of an album. I don't have much to say about this song other than the fact that it is one of my favourite songs but just not the top three maybe the top five.

So basically in conclusion, this album is to me one of the best albums that have debuted in 2013. Like many critics have said about this album, some people might find her boring already with her antics and have moved on. But at the end of the day her album is a gift for her fans, the little monsters are the real target audience she is trying to reach and she said so herself she does not care if she is not number one on the charts with this album she just wants to make music her fans would like. At this moment Gaga can make any shitty album and still be able to have full support from her loyal fans my self included. I honestly do recommend buying this album either physically or digitally because I do believe in supporting the artists that I like. But if you are not a big fan of Gaga herself to start off with then i suggest you just torrent it and see if you like it as a taste test. Who knows, maybe you will end up liking at least one or two songs from this album. Music is pretty subjective so don't let one review steer you into buying or not buying this.

4.8/5 is what I would give to this album.
