Opening up with the single "Just Dance" its an energy packed album throughout.
If your expecting the same synthesizer drum covered with a sensual voice well your right in some way , but this is still so much more it has many great songs like Poker Face , Paparazzi , Brown eyes , paper gangsta , And just dance.
I recommend buying this album. |

If you like to swallow spoonfuls of self-indulgent, shallow, materialistic banter then Lady Gaga's debut album `The Fame' is going to be right up your ally. That isn't meant to be a diss by any means, but it is only realistic to call out Gaga's collection of meaningless tracks for what they really are. There is no weight here whatsoever, but that is not the point. In interviews she's been very clear that she doesn't care that her songs are pointless. All she cares about is that they are fun.
She succeeds.
The four singles she released off this album are pretty representative of who Gaga is as an artist. `Just Dance', the first single, is an infectious club track that makes mention of Gaga's love for liquor, boys and music. `Poker Face' is laced with innuendo and capitalizes on slick beats and catchy lyrics. While both of those tracks grow old over time, `LoveGame' and `Paparazzi' happen to stand tall as stellar pop tracks. `Paparazzi' especially uses a darkly suggestive stalker story to express love in a wildly inventive way. It may be the best track on the album. `LoveGame' opens brilliantly (that beat IS sick) and continues with ferocity.
I'm not afraid to say that this is one of my favorite singles of the year.
The rest of the album is a little all over the place, from great to good to mediocre. Songs like `The Fame' is cringe worthy in their poor quality, and `Eh, Eh' is just boring. It was nice to see a different side to Gaga, but it was constructed horrifically. `I Like It Rough' is a clichéd mess that just never really takes off the way it could have. I enjoy her fearless display of overt sensuality, but this was just painful in its unoriginality.
Songs like `Beautiful, Dirty, Rich' and `Money Honey' are deliciously tacky in their exploitation of Gaga's primary concern, money. `Boys Boys Boys' capitalizes on her second foremost thought (you guessed it). All three songs are fun and exciting regardless of the fact that they are nothing overly spectacular. `Brown Eyes' is a different pace for Gaga, and it works rather well. It's nice to see her do something different and not fall flat on her face. It has a soft vulnerability about it that I like, but Gaga is above all else a strong and independent woman, and it shows on every track.
The best tracks here (aside from `LoveGame' and `Paparazzi') are the infectious `Paper Gangster', complete with full on swagger that suits Gaga better than one may think, `Starstruck', which ignites with fiery bravado and funky atmosphere and the closing track `Summerboy', which exploits Gaga's vices with a spunk that isn't seen on most of the album.
Personally, I'd rank the album like so:
1) Summerboy
2) LoveGame
3) Paper Gangster
4) Paparazzi
5) Starstruck
6) Boys Boys Boys
7) Poker Face
8) Brown Eyes
9) Beautiful, Dirty, Rich
10) Just Dance
11) Money Honey
12) Eh, Eh
13) I Like It Rough
14) The Fame
In the end I totally love this album, even if it is uneven in parts. When it hits it hits hard, and even the `less than great' tracks have a quality about them that makes you want to listen anyways. Gaga is a sensation (and who saw that coming?) and she'll continue to be so for a long time to come (her new single `Bad Romance' is already making waves).
You might as well jump on the bandwagon now! |

I have a lot of respect for Lady Gaga. For those who just don't like the music, that's fine. For those who think she's a symptom of what's wrong with music, you don't get it.
Here is a young woman, clever and smart, self-made, and able to make a joke while simultaneously being the subject of it. On the surface, the music is slight, the sound very processed, and everything is engineered just so. "Paparazzi" and "The Fame" are perfect examples (but not the only ones) where she mocks and celebrates excess. Is she a celebrity stalker or stalkee? Probably both. Is she doing it for the fame? You bet!
The rest of the album is so unbelievably hook-y that it seems like a greatest hits collection in the making. I hope she can follow up as strongly. Much like Madonna (undoubtedly a strong influence), Lady Gaga's career is likely to be a fascinating study in evolution. |
