Pop Justice Reviews The Fame Monster

PopJustice.com: Right – so we've heard Lady Gaga's The Fame Monster and it's a pretty astonishing piece of work. Lyrically, sonically, melodically and conceptually it's right up there with its predecessor The Fame, with a definite feel of things moving in a new direction.

We know a lot of you are thinking that this is just a cash-in reissue of The Fame with a few tracks chucked on. It's not that at all – this is a collection of songs in its own right. When you buy this you will not be buying The Fame again in order to get at a couple of extra songs – you'll be buying a new album which just so happens to have a copy of The Fame in the same box.

If it helps make sense of things, imagine purchasing The Fame Monster 2-disc set then throwing the The Fame CD away. In fact that is what you should actually do when you get this. Throw The Fame out of the window. The Fame Monster is a real album with its own personality.

In brief: Eight tracks. Four potential singles. No shit songs. Here's a track by track:

Bad Romance
"Poker Face" reinvented. Can you believe that some people have said that this song sounds too much like "Poker Face"? As if anything could sound too much like one of the best songs of 2008/09? It would be like saying 'the problem with this restaurant is that the food is too nice and too reasonably priced', or 'the problem with this hat is that it makes me look too attractive'. Now imagine wearing an amazing hat in the world's best restaurant. THAT IS WHAT THIS SONG IS LIKE.

Alejandro
It sounds like this. And by 'this' we mean an amazing romantic post-Italotronic triumph.

Monster
Opens with snatches of dialogue ('Don't call me Gaga', 'I've never seen one like that before', 'Don't look at me like that') then launches into a story of Gaga pulling a "wolf in disguise". The chorus is a big chant of "that boy is a monster, that boy is a monster" and there are some 'Just Dance'-isms along the way too. There's a great breakdown for the middle eight: "I wanna just dance but he took me home instead, uh-oh there was a monster in my bed, we French kissed on a subway train, he tore my clothes right off, he ate my heart and then he ate my brain".

So Happy I Could Die
A mid-tempo number with some Tiesto-esque ravey bits, some references to The Act Of Masturbation, and a chorus lyric "happy in the club with a bottle of red wine, stars in our eyes 'cos we're having a good time, so happy I could die". Not a single but an important part of the whole 'Fame Monster' thing.

Speechless
At one point this was a big piano ballad but since Ron Fair's production has been added it's more along the lines of a 'Starman' or an 'All The Young Dudes'-type affair. This is the track about Gaga's father and it seems to be written from Gaga's mother's point of view. By the time the second verse comes around there seem to be strong hints of booze ("I can't believe how you looked at me with your Johnnie Walker eyes", "raise a glass to mend all the broken hearts" etc) so it seems this is the 'Fear Of Alcohol Monster' Gaga previously mentioned. The chorus is "I'll never talk again, oh boy you've left me speechless / I'll never love again, oh friend you've left me speechless" and one of the best bits finds Gaga singing "after all the boys and the girls that we've been through, would you give it all up if I promised boy to you that I'll never talk again, and I'll never love again, I'll never write a song, or even sing along…" This is a massive, massive ballad which doesn't sound like anything else you've heard from Lady Gaga and could do for her what 'Beautiful' did for Christina Aguilera. At the very least, it's a good lighters-aloft live anthem.

Dance In The Dark
The chorus to this is amazing – imagine RedOne to the next level with a massive emotionally-charged synth riff chucked in along the way. Actually the everything to this is amazing, it opens with the words "silicone, saline, poison, inject me" and the arms-aloft, four-to-the-floor chorus is a chant of "baby loves to dance in the dark, cos when he's looking she falls apart." There's another line about "she looks good but her boyfriend says she's a tramp" – it seems to be about women who are marginalised or who are in (mentally?) abusive relationships. We may have totally missed the point of this song, and if so 'apols' in advance.
Best bit: an almost pant-wettingly excellent, 'Vogue'-style rap breakdown in which Gaga lets rip: "Marilyn, Judy, Sylvia, tell them how you feel girls [something we couldn't quite make out] hot like Liberace, find your freedom in the music, find your Jesus, find your cutie, you will never fall apart Diana, you're still in our hearts, never let you fall apart, together we'll dance in the dark". AMAZING.

Telephone
A song about being pestered by someone on the phone when you're trying to have a dance in a nitespot. It's a little bit like Gwen's 'What You Waiting For?' meets Timbaland's 'The Way I Are' meets about fifty other things. "I cannot text you with a drink in my hand," Gaga notes at one point. The structure's quite exciting: quiet harpy intro / "kinda busy, k-kinda busy" bridge as beat kicks in / verse / chorus ("stop calling, stop calling, I don't wanna talk any more") / postchorus bit / 'The Way I Are'-style rap / Beyonce rap ("should have left my phone at home cos this is a disaster") / breakdown verse / "kinda busy" bridge / chorus / another bit / 'The Way I Are' rap bit / extra 'My Humps'-esque (but not really) "my telephone! My telephone!" outro, then "we're sorry, the number you have reached is not in service" operator message. We love Beyonce insisting that some bellend on the other end of the phone won't make her get her coat any faster. Bonus fact: The guest vocalist on this was going to be someone else, but then the guest vocalist wanted to put the song on her own greatest hits album, so Lady Gaga made alternative arrangements.

Teeth
A wobbly, stompy, bouncy marching song. Opens with a "don't want no money, just want your sex" line, includes lots of chanting of "Show me your teeth! Show me your teeth!", and a foray into Black Betty territory.

That's all from one listen – this album has loads more to give up from repeated plays and we can't wait to get stuck in properly. "Monster" and "Bad Romance" have elements of "Just Dance" and "Poker Face" but these seem like knowing nods back in the direction of "The Fame", while other songs – "Dance In The Dark", "Teeth" hint at what lies ahead for the next, third Lady Gaga album.

Lady GaGa Quote of the Day

Here's today's Lady GaGa quote of the day:

"I wrote every piece on the road - no songs about money, no songs about fame. I wrote it for my fans, so I wrote everything in between."

- Lady GaGa on The Fame: Monster tracks

New Information About The Fame: Monster

Lady Gaga announced today that she will release The Fame Monster, a re-package of her 4 million-selling album The Fame. The album will include the entire breakthrough album The Fame, along with eight entirely new songs. The Fame Monster, deals with the seamier side of fame, as experienced by Gaga over the course of her last history-making year. The new version will be released on November 24, 2009.

Says Lady Gaga, "On my re-release The Fame Monster, I wrote about everything I didn't write on The Fame. While traveling the world for two years, I've encountered several monsters, each represented by a different song on the new record: my 'Fear of Sex Monster,' my 'Fear of Alcohol Monster,' my 'Fear of Love Monster,' my 'Fear of Death Monster,' my 'Fear of Loneliness Monster,' etc."

"I spent a lot of nights in Eastern Europe, and this album is a pop experimentation with industrial/Goth beats, 90's dance melodies, an obsession with the lyrical genius of 80's melancholic pop, and the runway. I wrote while watching muted fashion shows and I am compelled to say my music was scored for them. I also composed a ballad for the album, 'Speechless,' a song for my father, and it's my favorite work of all. I wrote every piece on the road – no songs about money, no songs about fame. I wrote it for my fans, so I wrote everything in between."

The first club-banging single, the RedOne-produced "Bad Romance," will be released in early November. Other collaborators on the new tracks include Teddy Riley, Rodney Jerkins, Ron Fair and Fernando Garibay.

New Old GaGa Single 'No Way' Leaked

No Way is one of the many demos Lady GaGa recorded with producer, Fernando Garibay, that were shopped around to many artists, such as Beyonce and Britney Spears. It has the same sound as "Quicksand", that was re-recorded by Britney for Circus, because they were produced by the same producer and around the same time. This will NOT be on The Fame: Monster.

GaGa Reveals MORE Info On Upcoming Projects

Kanye West can rest assured that new tourmate Lady Gaga has got his back.

Gaga said on Monday that it was unfair for fans to judge West for his onstage confrontation with Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month.

"I can tell you that he's very sorry, and he made a mistake, and he knows it," Gaga told The Canadian Press over the telephone from Virginia, where the personable pop star munched on a bowl of cereal.

"But at the end of the day, he is a pioneer in hip-hop music, and he changed what hip-hop music means. And I think that it's time for everyone to kind of take their heads out of the newspapers and remember that, in truth, Kanye's making most of the music we hear on the radio today. "

"He has a tremendous effect on everybody's lives and I think it's unfair to judge a person by one thing that they said."

Though Gaga has offered her support to West now, what was her reaction in the moment when West wrested the mike away?

"It was: 'Oh jeez,"' she said.

The platinum-blond electro singer says she's not worried that fans who attend their co-headlining tour this fall will harbour ill will toward West, though she conceded that "you can never really tell what kind of response or what effect it will have on anything."

Meantime, she and West are hard at work designing their tour, which begins in November and has scheduled stops in Saskatoon, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal.

Gaga says they will use a new stage that stretches from one side of the arena to the other - "imagine an in-the-round experience, but larger," Gaga said.

Gaga also provided a look inside the notion behind the show - and, for fans of the flamboyantly bizarre singer, the high-concept show sounds as though it will be unlikely to disappoint.

"The storyline is that Kanye is on one end of the stage and I'm on the other, and the whole show, we are trying to get to where each other is," she said. "I want something that he has, which is the fame, and he wants something that I have, which is home, and my humble beginnings. So we battle each other throughout the entire performance to steal each other's spaces."

"So I'm essentially on a quest to kill Kanye West to steal his fame."

Gaga's debut CD "The Fame" has reached No. 1 on the albums chart in Canada, where the record has been certified three-times platinum since its release last year. She says she'll "probably" release a new record next year, but in the meantime, she's coming out with a double-disc version of her debut that will feature almost a full album's worth of new material.

She also says that her "SNL" performance this weekend will be more, um, restrained than past performances.

"I've got a couple things and ideas that we're working on, but truthfully I didn't want to do kind of any overproduction on 'SNL' because it's a very iconic performance in itself, the 'SNL' performance," she said.

"So it's way more about other things. It's way more about the choreography, it's about the songs, and I feel like I'm transitioning into a space where people are really recognizing me as a musician and I'm exploring that too."

Gaga Talks SNL Appearance & The Fame Monster

After her fake-blood-and-drama-filled performance at the Video Music Awards, it seems that Lady Gaga won't be taking a break any time soon. She's appearing on "Saturday Night Live" on Saturday, is re-releasing her hit debut with several bonus tracks as The Fame: Monster on November 24, and she launches her co-headlining "Fame Kills" tour with Kanye West next month — and she said she'll be launching her own headlining tour in March. She talked about all of the above in recent interviews with Las Vegas radio station KLUC and San Diego's Star 94.1.

"I have a new single that I'm actually going to be performing on 'Saturday Night Live,' [along] with 'Paparazzi,' and then I'm going to put out a kind of new body of work," Gaga told Star 94; the single she's referring to may be a new song fans have been calling "New York." "It's kind of a re-release but [with] more songs than you usually get on a re-release. It's called The Fame: Monster and that's [coming out] in November.

"I wrote almost a full album's worth of material and right now I'm kind of spending my time sifting through it all and doctoring it and making it perfect and deciding what I want everyone to hear," she continued. "But I'm really proud of it. It's definitely life after The Fame."

Asked whether she'll be performing the new material on the "Fame Kills" tour, Gaga told KLUC, "You'll see all of it!"

She also revealed that she'll be embarking on a solo headlining world tour next year. "When I come back from my world tour, I'm doing another world tour after this, which is going to be in March of next year," she told Star 94.1.

At press time, a rep for Gaga had not granted MTV News' request for details on the singer's statements.
