With her revolutionary new album, Lady Gaga has invented a revolutionary word: Artpop. It’s like Pop Art, except that it’s music instead of painting, and instead of pushing art forward, it daringly takes a huge step back. “Artpop” uses sound effects, unique lyrics and unusual instruments with a level of ineptitude previously believed to be impossible. You thought you heard the dumbest-sounding brass synth on your (shouldn’t be a rapper) friend’s mixtape? Creatively-titled “Jewels n’ Drugs” is here to destroy that notion. Thought you’d heard the silliest lyrical attempt at combining romance and masturbation? “Sexxx Dreams” will stop at nothing to prove you wrong. Across the board, “Artpop” is a true award winner — Most Confusing Mispronunciation of a Word (G.U.Y.), Most Unappealing Sexual Comparison (Swine) and the Most Inappropriately Titled Closing Track in Context (Applause, which ironically, I enjoy). All over the board, “Artpop” does things that confuse me as a listener and confound me as a critic. But when it comes down to it, Lady Gaga clearly doesn’t care about making a critically acclaimed album. Rather, she made a fun one that does its own thing and parties to its own party. And although critics across the nation have panned the album, I think it’s necessary to revolutionize the rating system for such an album that doesn’t exactly work within its confines. Because art is mostly subjective by nature, each rating should be personalized to the reader’s taste. Just because something is poor from a criti- cal standpoint doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it. I mean, we went to high school dances and always complained about the music, but we still had a blast, didn’t we? Let’s face it: when it comes to music, whoever has the most fun really does win. Now for the fun part! In order to find your A“ rtpop” rating, just answer the questions below and tally your points.
