The Fame Monster review.

the first cover. :)



the second cover. :)

I'm gonna post a review on Lady GaGa's new CD 'The Fame Monster'. So that you'll be able to know my reaction to it and whether it's a good CD to hear. So here we go! :). In this case, i'm doing reviews of each of the songs on the album, 8 overall and alongside it, it shows what kind of monster GaGa was inspired of while making the particular song. I got it on the internet, so yeah! Haha XD

  1. Bad Romance (Fear of love monster) - The first single off the album and the stand-out track of the album. With its infectious heavy techno and new wave beats, it was a sure fire hit. Her voice is totally amazing and the hooks are so addictive and makes you wanna sing along. Then, she came off with her newest trademark hook, "I'm a free bitch, baby!". The "Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah..." hook makes the album a chilling welcome to listeners and then the song just kept getting better. The lyrics tell the pleaseureness of a bad romance but then it talks about fashion. Interesting. Overall, her most delicious and addictive song yet. (10/10)
  2. Alejandro (Fear of hate monster)- Another addictive song, but very different then her other songs. The song brought out a much slower pace of electro beats and has an Indian disco mood in it. Her voice is stunning in this song, especially in the chorus. The lyrics tells about GaGa fending off harem of Latino mens, Alejandro, Roberto and Fernando. Wow, that's many to call but still it is a nice song to hear but to me, it was not a nice follow-up to Bad Romance. So yeah! (9/10)
  3. Monster (Fear of betrayal monster)- A private song off the album, telling the story of a man she once had sex with but not knowing that the man is something more than what she expected to. The beat is again slower but darker than Bad Romance but it is more sonically and more high-tech beats are used. Using the f-word for the first time in a song, she expresses her feelings about the man and telling that the man is bad but she can't resist him. The chorus pays tribute to 'Poker Face', when GaGa sings, 'That boy is a monster, m-m-m-monster', the mum-mum-mum-mah hook is heard. But still, it is a plain addictive song and one of the stand-outs of the album. (10/10)
  4. Speechless (Fear of death monster)- Her most private song off the album and the only ballad, the song is dedicated to her father, who failed to take heart surgery. Tell you the truth, it is one of her most emotional song she has ever written, and it almost made me cry, believe me. Her voice is so elegantly, probably her best yet and the slow beats are reminiscent of that of 'The Beatles'. I have never known that Lady Gaga could make a beautiful ballad such as this. A thumbs up for her, yet not a stand-out but a highlight of the album. :') (10/10)
  5. Dance in The Dark (Fear of loneliness monster)- The stand-out track of the album, and the danceable one, this song can make everyone dance their ass off. A bit faster and darker than the previous, this song is a bit vampiric for GaGa, but still it is one of her best yet. The lyrics talks about the love of dancing in the dark, but for me, it can be interpreted of being lonely and sorrowful. It also pays tribute to some famous peoples who met with tragic ends, especially Princess Diana (love her!) and Marilyn Monroe (beauty!). The beats are undeniably heavy, but that's the point, that's what makes Lady Gaga so incomparable. An artistic dancey song, that's for sure. (10/10)
  6. Telephone (featuring Beyonce) (Fear of commitment monster) - The hottest features of the album, Lady Gaga with Beyonce makes a great team, but the song is not one of the stand-outs of the album. Still, the beats are yet infectious and amazing, adding a little bit of ringtones here and there. The lyrics tells about her picking the dancefloor rather than answering a lover's call. The lyrics are also sung in a rapid-fire way, so some listeners might find it difficult to understand it. But overall, it's an enjoyable song and a HOT one too. :) (9/10)
  7. So Happy I Could Die (Fear of alcohol monster) - An upbeat and fun song to sing along with. It shows GaGa singing in a drunk matter and talking nonsense, especially her love to her girlfriend when she said in the song, "I love that lavender blonde/The way she moves, the way she walks/I touched myself, can't get enough". It is occasionally a love song when you're drunk or under booze. The "eh eh, yeha yeha, eh eh, aha aha" hook at the beginning of the song is FUN to sing along with. A good one for GaGa. (10/10)
  8. Teeth (Fear of sex monster) - One of my least favorite song of the album, due to its rather Christina Aguilera-ish beats. The lyrics talk about sexual pleasure and S&M (sadomasochism, sexual behaviour). As she said in the song, "Don't want your money, just want your sex", it is more like her previous song 'LoveGame' in a cowboy jukebox. Overall, a fun to be annoyed with. Haha (7/10)

So, overall it is yet another perfect album but this time it shows Gaga in an artistic and conceptual mood, not anymore talking about money or fame, but instead talking about dark personal things like paranoia, loneliness, death, commitment, forsaken love and sex. GaGa makes it clear that she is not the one that should not be messed with. It is album that you would not regret of buying, as the songs in the album are still enjoyable, although it will not beat the perfection of her previous album 'The Fame'. :)

Best song of the album: Bad Romance

Worst song of the album: Teeth

Overall score: 90/100. A still must-buy album for listening to our scratchy ears. hehe :P

So, I guess that's all for now for me being Mr. reviewer. Hahaha, so I'm gonna add all of the songs in my blog iPhone, just for you convenient hearing. That's all for today. :)


'i know i can give you pleasure but i need one of your treasures, baby'
