[ljuser]dirrtysean[/ljuser]: I’ve been very busy for the past few weeks. So I didn’t have time to write a review. This time around I handed the review job over to my trusty editor who you all either hate or love. She’s just like my own personal assistant! Now I can tell the everybody I have a P.A.! w00ts! Bragging rights! Major HOTNESS!
Anyways, this time around, we’re doing a review on an album by our Artist Of The Month, Lady Gaga!
[ljuser]airotcivqueen[/ljuser]: “The Fame†is Lady Gaga’s debut album. It was released in August 2008 by Interscope Records. A revised edition with new tracks and different track-listing was released in Australia on November 15, 2008, in the US on October 28, 2008 and will be released in the UK on January 12, 2009.
Her album however has received some bad reviews, with some uh, absolutely, f**kin’ comments that her album has explicit metaphors like “I wanna take a ride on your disco stick†in Love Game, and about her being a dirrty girl in the sexed up club scenes. Here’s my take on this. If you hate Gaga please pardon me. However, on all neutral grounds. Pray tell, at this day and date how many songs out there do not insert some form of sexual innuendo? We’ve got 50cent and Candyshop, Khia – My Neck, My Back and loads of other songs which mention getting in between legs, Gucci bikinis on the bed and all. However, I guess, when we hate something or someone we do go about picking on nitty gritty details too. (I am no angel either) Whoopsy! Come on it is human nature, so I guess it is alright, to each his own ain’t it.
Back to the album review, I’d say on the whole, this is a great album. Unless, you are the type who prefers slow songs, then perhaps not. The Fame brings on a very different feeling from other albums, and for that matter so does Lady Gaga. She’s probably done the right thing in order to stand out in the entertainment scene by being different. After all successful business gurus will tell you that in order to market yourself, you have to be unique, which is what she has done. The songs in the album, are mainly dancey tracks, which feels a little 70s, 80s, retro infused, disco, rock, electronic beats.
My favourite songs in the tracks are, ALMOST ALL. Really, this is an amazing album. Im having a hard time doing this review, because I do not have any songs that I absolutely loathe. Before you say “You obviously sound like a Gaga stan, thus the good review†I’d tell you, take a listen to her songs, and you will know why it is good.
Here’s a few picks from me:
[ljuser]dirrtysean[/ljuser]‘s fave:
Just Dance
Poker Face
Again, Again
Brown Eyes
