The album starts with Aura. The infectious edm track is the perfect song. It has an amazing beat, amazing voice (Gaga delivers when it comes to vocals) and the lyrics are easy to decorate. A future hit. 10/10
 Venus comes next. Produced by Lady Gaga herself, the track, although not memorable or groundbreaking, can be a hit with the properly promotion. 8.0/10
G.U.Y come next. What a song! The track mixes references to social media among pleas to a potential suitor, as she sing: "Love me love me, please retweet / let me be the girl under you that makes you cry,/ I wanna be that guy." It is a track asking to be played in the club. 9.0/10
 Sexxx Dreams is next. It is a sexy song. It has that type of beat that makes you wanna sex listening to it and also has the sexy lyrics. 8.2/10
 Jewels n' Drugs is with no doubt the worst song. The T.I, Too Short and Twista is a mess. She tries to be ratchet but fails miserably. 4.5/10
 Manicure is a good song but it doesn't stand out in this album. Totally forgettable. 6.5/10
 Do What You Want is one of the best songs in this album. The R. Kelly assisted song is one of the best pop songs released this year. A great surprise 9.5/10
 Artpop comes next. The album title song reminds me a lot of 90's songs. It has the futuristic beat, good lyrics and Gaga once again delivers when it comes to vocals. 9.0/10
 Swine was a surprise for me. Not because it's outstanding but it's different from what I thought it would be. For a reason that I can't describe I thought it would be a ballad but I was wrong. It's an amazing edm song. 8.5/10
 Donatella and Fashion are the next songs. This two songs are addictive but they are not as groundbreaking as I thought they would be. Donatella 8.0/10 and Fashion 7.0/10
 Mary Jane Holland is amazing. The tittle is metaphor for Gaga's addiction to weed. It's original and has a nice lyrics. 8.5/10
 Dope is the best song on the album for me. It is by far the most personal song on the album and it's just her and a piano. The song is about a person very important to her that unfortunately Gaga lost it because of her addiction to weed. It's simple but at the same time raw. 10/10
 Gipsy is another ballad. It is for this album like The Edge of Glory is to Born This Way. It kinda reminds me of some 80/90's songs. 8.8/10
 Applause closes the album. The lead singer fails to deliver when it comes to originality cause it's a generic and basic song. 6.0/10

 Overall review: It is a good and cohesive album. I know that a lot of people won't like it just because it has Gaga's name. But it is no doubt the best pop album released this year so far (a lot better than Prism). Sure it won't match the level of success and acclaim that The Fame and The Fame Monster had but it sure is better than Born This Way. Gaga did a good job. 7.7/10
