Deserves no less han 5 stars.What a truly amazing artist Lady Gaga is and the The Fame Monster is the best album I've bought ever.
There isn't a song you wont like on the original release of "The Fame" and now this re-issue boasts even more perfect tunes. Best tracks on the first disc are 1. Dance In The Dark; 2. Monster; 3. Bad Romance; 4. Telephone(ft.Beyonce) and 5. Alejandro..... the other 3 tracks are pretty good as well.
I seen her live at the 02 and she was phenominal. She puts everything you could possibly put into a live show any artist could. She's so passionate about making good music and praise her for giving us the best Pop/R&B songs of the last two years. All hail Lady GaGa.
As others have said a wonderful album.
However.... Why are two songs on "Monster" censored? It really spoils Bad Romance & Dance in the Dark both of which are amongst the best on the album. What exactly is a "free bit?"
Despite all the complaints and the record company promising to release it uneditied - sadly to date this has not happened.
The rating should have been much lower because of the edits but it is such a great record that I couldn't bring myself to rate it lower than a 4.
Even though its only 8 tracks long, it does come with the added bonus of giving you the previous album in the box as a 2CD set, but that wasnt really a bonus because i already had the Fame! I had heard "Bad Romance" prior to getting this album, so seeing it as the first track really got me raring to go when listening to her new material, and with songs like "Poker Face", "Star Struck" and "I like it Rough" to follow up from she had set the bar high as far as im concerned, and she managed to do one better, match it and then beat it. "Alejandro" is a great follower, very catchy and different, but really worked. To be honest i loved all the tracks, with the weakest imo being "Speechless" and my favourite being "So happy i could die". SImply put, if you liked "The Fame" you will like this, and although it isnt very long it defintly is 'short and sweet'. Give it a listen, 5 Stars!
I always thought that Lady GaGa's music was always worth a listen, when it was on the radio I wouldn't rush to change the station. Then Bad Romance was released, in my opinion a fantastic song & awesome video so I bought this album for my wife at Christmas as she was on about it (honest). What Brilliant value two quality albums in one! The second Cd has all the favourites, Poker face, Paparazzi, Just Dance and more. The 1st Cd is totally amazing, what a versatile performer, always sounds great, brilliant lyrics and definitely understated! If you want music that appeals to the youth culture and their parents (those of us 30+) then this is a MUST buy! Well done Lady Gaga, she puts Brit pop and X factor contestants to shame and she might look unusual but without question this is real talent at its best! Don't take my word for it, try this for yourself.
'Bad Romance' is a true unique, rare& influential single. Lady Gaga has made many artists raise there stakes of performance, setting, music video's& performance outfits. I don't have to go on and on, people who have a undertstanding of music will know that Lady Gaga is a very clever woman. Releasing 'Just Dance' as a maintstream typical pop song, to bag her career in the music industry, which is apparently a 'pop anthem'. Then she wen't on to release 'Pokerface' (the most successful single of the year, most downloaded song ever& went to #1 in 17 different countries) this proved that not only was Lady Gaga a upcoming pop star (just dance material), she was a upcoming superstar. Paparazzi was then released been a mid-tempo song, many music experts suspected that it would 'flop' because of her fast tempo first debuts 'just dance' and 'pokerface'. But it deffently did not, charting at #4 in the UK, making it a TOP5 single! Lovegame was a sexy hit but unfortunately people downloaded it way way before it was released in UK, leaving it to slack in the top40 when it was released..... it did chart to #17 in the UK, but #4 in the USA Hot Billboard! Then 'Bad Romance' was released from the darker side of the fame, moster. Its easily said that Gaga is beyond entertaining, clever & facinating. Gaga has now dented the music industry, and claimed her spot. Now becoming herself, without releasing too much pop, pop... she's now releasing her own personally 'material'- 'Bad Romance' and taking risks which are proving to be right moves. There's three number one's from this album, all achieved in one year. Astonishing... what does she have for us in store for 2010?! Her tour is set to be 'one of the most important moments in music ever'.
