If by "nap" you mean on a successful WW(including Australia) Tour that will end on Dec 20th this year, then I agree
The nap that she'll take throughout the whole album recording process is what I meant
Much like that nose-job comparison photo, it's totally 'shopped.

Interesting fact: I can already 100% pro drums on Rock Band every song on this new album.
Bang, bang, bang, bang....

Lots of hate for BTW in here, but it did have some great songs on it. Heavy Metal Lover, scheisse, government hooker, marry the night, bloody marry, .... I like all of those. Granted, i deleted the piss poor songs the moment i got the album, so i tend to forget how low the album can go (fashion of his love, black jesus, u and i, ... Horrendous stuff), but i ended up with a decent total of 7 or 8 good songs. In my book that constitutes as a good album.
TFM is great as well though. Stuff like Bad Romance and Monster are awesome. But there's less songs on the album, thus less possibility for good songs. And i dont particularly care for speechless, dancer in thr dark or teeth for example. So really, TFM is kinda just 2 or 3 fantastic songs...
Oh yeah. And im ready for new lady gaga. Its been too long.

I find it interesting that the one album that her former boyfriend wasn't around for ended up being her worst album.

I've said this a billion times to popgaf, but regarding all the hate in here for Born This Way, if that album was cut down to 8 songs like The Fame Monster then it would be her strongest by far. The fact that it's so overstated (17 songs is a lot even for a deluxe edition) hinders its quality as a whole, but cut it down by half or 2/3 and it's a stellar album.
Lol that's funny. Cut half the album then it's good? Yeah.
The delusion.

wtf, BTW slays. still better than any pop album released since
I feel this way about most albums that go over 11 or 12 tracks. Anything beyond that is usually filler and subpar songs that didn't need to make the cut.

Actually the whole album is the best package of pop music since 2007 but cutting it in half will make you guys happy. I enjoy it all.

Why compare an EP to an LP? The Fame has as much filler as BTW, only reason TFM doesn't is cause its just 8 songs (tho Teeth isn't my cup of tea but its no filler by any means). I can count 8 good songs on both The Fame and BTW that can equal or even surpass those from TFM
eh not so sure about The Fame but yall get the point

Lady Gaga has potential to be great and to go beyond anything she's done so far.
She could benefit so much by going underground with some really interesting indie-esque art/dream/baroque/synth music that's pop-oriented but not tailored to top the charts.
In my opinion she's too talented to be pandering to the mainstream Gaga freaks and "stan" types. Fuck 'em all and become a truly great artist, not just an "act" and a flavor-of-the-month.

That goes against the whole point of Lady Gaga's music and character... Might want to check out Marina and The Diamonds if you're interested in that type of sound though.

You all should be happy that albums are longer and have filler in them. Everyone has different taste in music, so everyone considers different songs filler. With long albums everyone gets their chance to cut the album down to what exactly they consider good songs.
With short albums that have the "filler" already cut out off, you might end up with an album that simply doesn't have good songs on it in your opinion. And the stuff you actually liked, ends up being unfinished, badly produced demo's that are -if you're lucky- leaked later on.
I know the impact of an album is bigger if it's just great start to finish, it's fairly uncommon and special. But I'd rather take my chances on albums with 20 songs I cut down to 8 good songs, than an album that has 7 tracks total. In that sense, BTW is the former, TFM is the latter.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
YASSSSSSS

You mispelled Debbie Harry.
Yep, probably one of the most beautiful women that ever walked on earth
The Fame Monster >>>>>>>>>>>>> BTW by such a large margin it's not even funny
It's kind of like in Civ, TFM gets bonuses because it's a perfect overall package too, there's no bad tracks on it whereas BTW begins to approach Xtina album levels of shovelled-in filler tracks

It's not in the top 30 pop albums of the decade so far.

I don't believe you really mean that.
I got pretty swept up into the BTW hype and Im going to keep my expectations in check as a result.
I dont think any of Gaga's music is bad, but I realized after BTW most of her discography doesnt grab me but the tracks that do really hook me.
I'll wait for the album and get my 1-3 tracks worth of fix for the fall, but I won't be playing the anticipating singles game again.

this is definitely a joke post.
I like it how people keep saying her time is up in every Gaga thread despite she just finished a year long world tour to mostly sold out shows and was one of the highest grossing tours last year.
You don't see her on TV because she's doing 3-4 sold out shows per city and got injured as a result of that.

She wont be going anywhere anytime soon, the people acting like her 15 minutes have gone by obviously don't follow that scene closely
When she came to my city, all the tickets for multiple shows were gone within 30 minutes.
I bet she's more worried about her health than anything else.
