I couldn't find a thread on this, so I thought I'd make one.

To all my fellow GaGa fans/listeners out there, do you prefer The Fame or The Fame Monster?

For me, even though I love her first album a lot (Poker face, Just Dance, Papparazzi, Summerboy, Boys Boys Boys etc), I honestly find The Fame Monster to be a far more superior overall album, I can listen to it form start to end, it has a much more darker feeling and its more cohesive than The Fame. My favorite track is Speechless, but Aljeandro comes close.

Poker Face, Just Dance, Paparazzi, Lovegame, Speechless and if I'm being really generous, Eh Eh, are the only tracks half decent or better, while every other track without exception is absolutely awful (even by normal pop album filler standards), so tell me which album the majority of those tracks I've listed are from and that's my answer.

Again, even by pop standards where it's the norm, I can't remember an artist having such disparity between her handful of good tracks and filler pap. It's like after a point she cynically really just didn't give a shit.

They're all from her first album The Fame LOL

You dont like Bad Romance? =p

ArabianLamb said:

No, it's terrible. I let her off that jibberish, stuttering singing on Poker Face but not the repeat trick (and done worse) on Bad Romance. Awful!

I prefer the Fame, though I think there's too much filler. outside of Bad Romance, there aren't too many thrilling moments or songs for me on Monster....

I love The Fame, but if I had to, I'd pick Monster over The Fame. The first album was all about Fame and Money, while Monster touched base on a lot more subjects (each song describing a phobia/fear)

Favorite tracks off The Fame would pretty much be all the singles, plus Starstruck and favorite track off Monster would be Dance In The Dark

i must have listened to "dance in the dark" over a hundred times,
that doesn't happen too often anymore with anything other than my
radiohead, arcade fire, fever ray and general weird shit.

for a popsong to strike me and hit me that hard is very rare this
day n age.

I don't know

I think I like The Fame Monster better. I still skip Telephone and So Happy I Could Die, though

The Fame Monster

Alej said:

Me too. So Happy I Could Die and Telephone sound so...generic.

I can't listen to the fame all the way through but I can listen to the fame monster. I like so happy I could die *shrugs*

I will say that I like the singles from the fame but i'm leaning toward the fame monster.

I'm kind of bored with Gaga at the moment, though, so I'm staying the hell away from her music

Teeth, however

lmfaoo at so many people bored with gaga now . Now that she blew up everybody moving on

Alej said:

I doubt it's just you. It was a nice run while it lasted.

I'm all about this new artist MawmyHUHUH now, she's something new!

Fauxie said:

I think it's just that she's been quiet

I'm sure I'll be all up in her George Foreman when she does something new

Also, I've been obsessing - and I mean OBSESSING on Alphabeat

Alej said:

All her best music is behind her now. I bet she never comes up with anything from this point on that's nearly as catchy as her first few singles.

Alphabeat? Never heard of him/her/it/them/mawm

The Fame Monster

I'd say The Fame Monster, even though I, too, skip 'So Happy I Could Die' and 'Telephone' most of the time. I really love both albums though.

The Fame Monster.

The Fame sucks IMO, I actually can't believe the songs on TFM were left off the album, but I'm glad they were! They stand so well on their own it's no wonder she made it her 2nd album.
