I refuse to listen to these snippets

Would rather be surprised disappointingly rather than go in dissapointed

 

[Styles]

Red still has Taylor's best songs. No lies.

Treacherous
All Too Well
Holy Ground
State of Grace
Begin Again

What an amazing EP this would have made.

Not you leaving out Red.

I also fuck hard with Stay x3 even if it's 100% fluff.

Snippets...
Diamond Heart
Ayo
Joanne
John Wayne
Dancin' in Circles
Sinner's Prayer
Come To Mama
Hey Girl
Angel Down
Grigio Girls
Just Another Day


Come To Mama sounds like a Viagra commercial and this album sounds...

Oh dear.

 

[Zutroy]

Man, I might just skip Joanne altogether based on those snippets.

Gaga's comeback this is not.

 

[Little Mons†er]

I caved and listened to one snippet for Angel Down and it slays me

That 10sec snippet of Angel Down is just beautiful

 

[Vazduh]

My feelings on these snippets are mixed. Something like.

and

and most definitely

Gaga, what the hell?

Stage 1: Denial...

 

[Aguila]

A few of them seem really promising. Joanne sounds like it could be one of her best songs ever with just those 30 seconds. Angel Down sounds great too.

 

[Matt_]

Oh at me coming into this thread to praise that perfect illusion/papa don't preach mash up to the heavens then being met with those snippets

I know it's a go to joke but preorder actually cancelled
I'll give her a stream but I'm no seeing anything worth buying in that

 

[Androidsleeps]

But you guys stan Beyonce and that has been her whole career

Except Beyonce doesn't come off as an obnoxious attention whore, who would go out of her way to "look" cute and relatable (remember when she lost that award to Ed Sheeran and she started jumping and clapping? It was so over-the-top and cringe-worthy. but hey it got her some spotlight). One of my favorite Beyonce moments recently is at the VMAs(?) when Chance The Rapper was doing an interview and she was passing by from behind, snuck up behind him and put her head on his shoulder and left him shook at what just happened. It was a cute moment that Taylor would never be able to pull. That, and of course Beyonce isn't beefing with half of her peers.


Those Gag snippets. Can't even check all of them, sounds tragic/offensive as expected.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I still just can't believe THIS is what Gaga is releasing.

Like, wat?

She said that she viewed The Fame - ARTPOP as the distinct "beginning" of her career but I thought that meant she would be heading into a more experimental route, not this. :-|

Nnnn, the way you know you will be disappointed before even listening to the snippets. I guess you could ask for another username change before it's too late.

 

[WaffleTaco]

My apologies. I own a pair of Ugg boots for men.

In my rush to define Lady Gaga as an entitled shit, I evoked an image that I later realized could be offensively stereotypical.

Oh no I wasn't being serious lol, you were fine.

 

[Vazra]

Garret and ha avatar change. How swiftly he turned on gags lol

LMAO i still love her and always will. but i'm not gunna go around repping the joanne era tbh

 

[Soulscribe]

I refuse to listen to the snippets but my friends have been losing their collective shit over them so (combined with the reception in here) they are most likely a slay. I MUST BE STRONG AND WAIT

Did we read the same reactions????

 

[Garrett Hawke]

polarizing =/= good.

but they're not even polarizing, they are just generic and inoffensive and the sort of album I would've expected from gaga when she was entering her 50s as a legacy act.

[Poker Face]

I'm not gonna listen, but how does Angel Down sound? Did redone produce the best song on the album?

 

[Soulscribe]

That, John Wayne and Dancin' In Circles seem to be the early favorites. As far as I know AD is an unplugged ballad though.

I love Gaga, but most of them sound terrible....

I guess the preview of angel down is for mark Ronsons version and not redones? Hmmm

The fact I ditched the infamous JollyJoe for this

A mess

 

[WaffleTaco]

Honestly I really like the sound of Joanne's album. It sounds very consistent and much better than Artpop already. Her voice also sounds really good with the music. I don't think Perfect Illusion was a good representation of the album at this point, and looks to be easily the worst song on it.

 

[Poker Face]

I'm not sure what to think. A good deal of posters here don't like it...but it seems ATRL is enjoying it? Gagadaily is loving it, but I don't trust their opinions lol.

 

[Phreaker]

Shoot, the snippets have been removed.

 

[Soulscribe]

lol I bit and listened to Dancin In Circles. It sounded very popGa to me? That was definitely a Fame Monster hook I heard at the beat drop. Or maybe it was just pop compared to what I was expecting.

Spoiler

It's fucking wonderful fuck

 

[Little Mons†er]

I really need to listen to this album in full

Snippets in general don't do any favours

COME THROUGH JOANNE

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Gaga daily will love literally anything 😂

I used to go there so much until I found this forum.

 

[The Flop]

New Bruno is Trash.

I am loving "Million reasons" though.

My favs still are safe.

 

[Ardainian Soldier]

I will wait for the full songs before listening. I am worried I won't like Joanne.

 

[Soulscribe]

I made it like three hours. I'm not angry at myself, but I'm not not angry.

Okay, Diamond Heart, Angel Down, Joanne, Just Another Day, Dancin In Circles and John Wayne all slayed me. Fuck. Based on these snippets the album harks back to classic Gaga quite a bit but weaves that into a more adult contemporary vibe. There's an Americana filter on Joanne. The only songs that didn't impress me were Come To Mama and Hey Girl, but the rest made me hard. I'm so happy

My worry is that these short track lengths (most is in the sub-to-just-barely-over 3 minutes range) mean it's going to feel like a sprint to the finish a la ARTPOP. I'm wary of short songs because I do think a good hook will suffer if it doesn't get enough breathing room. I'm impressed with the snippets but I want the songs to feel complete. Perfect Illusion and Million Reasons don't IMO.

 

[Aguila]

Have you guys listened to Lykke's new song (well, her band's new song)?

liv - Wings of Love

I really like it.

 

[Frodo]

We all know I'm not a Gaga stan, but I respect her efforts and I'm here for her if she releases quality. So far I haven't seen the quality I'm looking for, but I do appreciate her effort. I'll let her rihlease the music she wants to.

It's not fair to expect artists to do only what we want them to do. I'll listen to Joanne with an open heart.

 

[Vazra]

Marina and The Diamonds is working on her next album now. Will the album be Froot 2.0 or Electra Flop 2.0?

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Hopefully TFJ 2. I still think that's her best album tbh. So raw

 

[Aguila]

Also MØ has a new song out, Drum, cowritten by Charli, BloodPop, and Noonie Bao.

Doesn't sound that special considering the cowriters. Final Song is better.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

marina is coming??? pop music is about to be saved tbh

 

[Vazra]

marina is coming??? pop music is about to be saved tbh

Charli is dropping a new single soon and the video is almost done. 2017 looking good.

 

[Vazduh]

marina is coming???

Do not mention that hussy!

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

I'm ready for Marina to chart higher than Gaga

 

[Vazra]

I'm ready for Marina to chart higher than Gaga

That would be fucking rich tbh.

 

[Androidsleeps]

I hope the new Marina is better than her last album.
Meanwhile, I'm still loving Grimes' Art Angels <3

I'm gonna give Natalia Kills' record another listen, I thought it was meh initially but we'll see.

Come To Mama sounds like a Viagra commercial and this album sounds...

Praying for Gaga stans tbh

Gaga is deplorable.

OMG! OMG! OMG!

I've finally figured out the problem I have with Gaga when she strays from Pop. She becomes a caricature of the genre she's imitating that's so blatant it's insulting.

The over-the-top intonation she adopted when singing Jazz? Offensive to actual lovers of the genre.

The cattlehide when performing country music? Offensive to real lovers of country.

Lady Gaga is shit with ashy knees.

 

[Floridian]

So Bruno kinda won with his new single. I don't really use most of his music but 24k Magic is nice.

And I was only liked 2 of those Gaga snippets. I don't think her new album will be for me.
