EVERYONE needs HEADPHONES

IndeeD.

 

[Wafflecakes]

She doesn't have a chance anyway.

She legit does. BL's sales are WAY down this week, and its streaming power is pretty average for a #1.

Its strength is radio, and your own formula goes to show that on big weeks radio matters far less than normal.

 

[DMeisterJ]

FUCKING [ B O W ]

 

[xaosslug]

ngl, Applesauce is giving me moar lyfe than SNORE, but SNORE is totes gonna tap that Sophia Grace and Rosie demo which is gonna haaaalp it SMASH effortlessly.

 

[B-Dex]

OMG THIS SHITS

This WILL sound like DOG SHIT in your car. Earphones are 100% necessary to enjoy this ARTPOP

Cranked on my headphones right now. Dat chorus.

 

[Trigger]

I can't stop pressing play...!!

 

[Aguila]

 

[Souldriver]

I'm right on time it seems.


I think I like the song. Nothing spectacular, but better than roar. ;-P And certainly better than BTW.

 

[EatChildren]

This is a lot more The Fame than Born This Way.

 

[Poker Face]

ITS SO GOOD ;_;

GODGA IS BACK

 

[Artemisia]

OMG THE HQ LINK STEFAN POSTED

 

[SaintZ]

This basically even though I like Roar.

 

[Styles]

When will they release the song to iTunes etc.?

 

[Touchdown]

Justin bieber's behind has been exposed....

 

[twobear]

No bullshit?

Art and Pop Culture in me?

Ok, sis.

Oh, the lyrics are a mess, but I meant that it doesn't have a laboured message, her songwriting reach isn't exceeding her grasp, that kind of thing. It's much more reigned-in than BTW in a good way.

 

[xaosslug]

This is a lot more The Fame than Born This Way.

i can't @ the thought of Gaga's label telling ha to reign it the FUCK in after BTW cratered...

 

[DMeisterJ]

THE CHORUS

THE HQ LINK STEFAN POSTED

 

[Leona Lewis]

Justin bieber's behind has been exposed....

nope.avi

Something about a completely hairless 19-year-old is just disturbing to me.

 

[royalan]

This is a lot more The Fame than Born This Way.

I wouldn't say this song is like either. It's its own thing.

It doesn't have the laser-focused appeal to radio and devil-may-care quality of The Fame, which was Gaga at her fiercest and lyrical best. This song is not going to slay radio.

But it doesn't have that heavy-handed pretentiousness that was dripping all over BTW.

This song is something we have never gotten from Gaga before. I really don't know how to describe it yet...

 

[B-Dex]

I need this on my iPod. Where is the itunes page. Apple get on it.

 

[cory64]

I like it, it's different from the Fame.
I'm listening to this on expensive headphones and the "give me the thing that I love, put your hands make em touch A P P L A U S E" part is still shitty sounding on the tumblr link. I can't even imagine what this sounds like on iPod buds.

Well I play it in my car through my nice sound system. Fuck earbuds.

 

[Kyon]

I COLLAPSED IN MY HOME


HELP

I agree.

It lies somewhere in between. Not bubblegum poppy, not heavy-metal angry.

Yeah I kind of understand what you mean, I'm hoping this might be rectified by an iTunes or FLAC version.

 

[Trigger]

Can she push the release of ARTPOP up too while she's at it?

The wait will just be awful.

 

[botty]

TOUCH—TOUCHHHH—TOUCHHHHHH...now​

 

[Phreaker]

"POP MUSIC EMERGENCY" lol

Just got back from lunch, listening now.

 

[cory64]

Yeah I kind of understand what you mean, I'm hoping this might be rectified by an iTunes or FLAC version.

It will a little bit, the panning on the pre-chorus isn't as strong in this so I don't think we're hearing the best source.

 

[Nemesis_]

TOUCHHHHHHHH

PUT YOUR HANDS UP MAKE EM TOUCHCHCHHH

let me ogle that 'related' Nick Jonas pic, instead...

aside: Beebs is losing IT, yo. Hopefully, he will be as entertaining as Britney.

Yeah, I'm listening on decent headphones and I don't see what's so incredible about the production (stefan's link). This is not exactly some Remain in Light production masterpiece. Seems fairly run of the mill as far as pop production goes?

The production is punchinG me as well; that intro.

Stan the most audiophile-friendly band of all time!
Yeah, this sounds familiar in parts, especially when everything's going off at once.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

I didn't know he is still relevant. Didn't Bieber take all of his fans?

Yeah, it's just messy and unpolished sounding. It's going for that "wall of sound" thing, but she ain't no Radiohead, or even Friendly Fires.

 

[Wafflecakes]

I didn't know he is still relevant. Didn't Bieber take all of his fans?

He isn't. Yes, before he then lost them to 1D.

 

[gofreak]

I'm really digging it. Exactly the kind of no-bullshit-bop that I wanted Gaga to make.

Was gonna say the same in the OT thread. If nothing else a return to straightforward, thumping pop.

Very curious to see the video for it. Could elevate it.

 

[Touchdown]

---APPLAUSE---

Just listened... think its gonna be huge in the clubs!!!! Honestly..not sure about radio though... :/

Perry's song is a lot more radio friendly. Maybe Gaga doesn't really care though.

 

[Marmaladefire]

If neither of these girls can snatch fucking Robin Thicke's wig..I don't even know.

Verdict : APPLAUSE > POAR
Gaga isn't wasting time on building, slow verses and sweeping emotions or any of that here. Straight dancepop. That's what I like to hear from her.

APPLAUSE is going to have some insane remixes omg I can't wait.

I think the singles would be less likely to need "good headphones" I hear some stuff going on in the background but that's it. The album tracks could be different though.

 

[royalan]

He isn't. Yes, before he then lost them to 1D.

I can't look at the picture of Nick Jonas without sweating.

 

[Aguila]

I think I prefer Burqa. Not sure yet.

but then why did she release it right now :3

 

[Wafflecakes]

Joe>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

[Nemesis_]

but then why did she release it right now :3

Because it was going to leak over a week prior to the release?

 

[twobear]

Stan the most audiophile-friendly band of all time!

Don't even get me started

The Great Curve punches reality out of the game I cannot even

 

[Trigger]

Spill that tea.

Not GOOGLE giving me the "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to atrl.net" page instead of the overcapacity shit ATRL always throws at me.
