Lady Gaga Presents - The Fame Monster
December 3rd 2009 10:01
Like Madonna, Lady Gaga could read the phonebook, release that on a cd and i'd buy it.
She's just got something about her that makes me go OOOH.
So naturally the second The Fame Monster leaked I just had to have it.
Then, when it was physically available buy both versions
( the 2 disc with The Fame in a standard & digipack )
AND pre-order the Collector's Edition set that includes a lock of Gaga's wig and an
arty book!
I was on Twitter at around 4am one morning, you know, as you do, and someone gasped
"Bad Romance is up!"
I rushed over to her website to enjoy the film clip.
It brought me back.
Back to the days when Madonna did artfully confusing screens for her tours.
Remember the ReInvention Tour screens?
Weird outfits, backwards video, the occasional dog?
the clip for Bad Romance took me back to that joy.
I was already in love with the song, but the video finalised it for me.
It made me literally excited for the rest of the album.
Bad Romance, the first single, is a sexy, sassy, makes you march with sass around the room kind of song. Even her nonsensical ramblings of Rammah Oh La la make you want to sing along.
Alejandro, if taken literally, makes Gaga out to be a little bit of a town bike,
and she is asking that her multiple suitors, ie Alejandro, Roberto, Fernando, don't ask after
her once she's finished with them. And I say Hear Hear! Delightful.
Monster is nice. Though if I hear one more ditsy blonde young girl ask in a confused tone
"he ate my heart? what?' then I will push them down a flight of stairs. The moral of the song is she met a guy, who devoured her heart ( in love ) ruined her brain ( in love ) and then
left, thus he is a Monster. She's not singing it literally. Though I guess it's just the idiots of todays youth that can't understand a song.
Speechless is the most beautiful ballad I have heard from a songstress in many a year.
Since You'll See by Madonna i'll dear to say. Speechless is so heartful and powerful that you'll hang off every word and wonder if Gaga is alright. Emotional, poignant, fantastic.
Dance in the Dark was the 2nd song I ever heard after Bad Romance and I enjoyed it's beat but not as much as Bad Romance. But now, as part of the whole album, it is awesome.
It has a driving, sexy 80s beat and you can just picture some poor girl dancing by herself night after night, going home with someone, being used and abused, then turning up the very next night to do it all again. Aww.
Telephone. It's fan-f**king-tastic. If I hear another person say "Oh, you mean Videophone?"
I will also push them down a flight of stairs. Videophone, though an awesome song in it's own right, is also an awesome Beyonce song. Then, she just happened to add Gaga into it, possibly after the Telephone recording session Beyonce was like "yeah, I guess i'll add you into my song for a verse"
But Telephone, which is apparently the 2nd single? ( I could be mislead ) is another awesome dance hit, similar to Pokerface, though with phone noises instead of Muh muh muh muh. You'll be nodding you head along in no time and agreeing loudly that Yes, while i'm out dancing I'm not going to answer my phone because I'm too busy dancing.
So Happy I Could Die is, well, nice. But it's also indirectly about having a good time...alone...
if you know what I mean. As a ballady track it is nice, but it's sorta like hearing Pink's Fingers at the end of the album. You're like "Oh....OH?...Aww" cos you don't really want/need to hear a track like that. Good try though.
And finally, Teeth, it's a rock em sock em stomping tune when apparently mishead leads people to think she asking them to "show me your tits"...but of course, she isn't.
It reminds me of the dirty sounding songs off Madonna's Erotica. You know they're supposed to be dirty, but they're not really, just the beats and instruments make it sound scratchy and nasty and sticky. It's still an awesome song though. It makes you want to stomp around the backyard with a stick like that old film clip...I forgot who sang it...
So, yeah, do yourself a favour and if you like Lady Gaga
( chances are you'd already own it ) but if you just happened to like Just Dance/Poker Face/Paparazzi, then you'll love The Fame Monster.
Grab the Double CD if you can cos they've chucked on a couple of international tracks that weren't on The Fame last time. So that's a plus.
Oh, here's the tracklist again in case you were wondering.
