ARTpop is the album Born This Way should have been: declarative; filled with dancefloor anthems and cutting-edge productions; and showcasing predatory darkness that she hints at in earlier efforts like "Teeth" or "Bad Romance." (In fact, "G.U.Y" could be the sequel to the latter, except instead of being informed by a McQueen-infused nightmare, it evokes Svedka-style robot minxes.) Thankfully, she has left her Boss-fueled, saxophone anthems to her previous album, and serves us steaming, syrupy stadium music. But, do Little Monsters want to hear her continue to ruminate on the machinations on fame, especially when the narratives her contemporaries are supplying feel much more universal?
