Lady Gaga recently released, "The Fame: Monster" a revamp of her hit album, "The Fame." I've already talked about the amazing track, "Bad Romance," but there's also seven other new songs. I love every single song on "The Fame" and I can't say the same about "The Fame: Monster." I'm about 50/50. "The Fame: Monster" is very techno and sounds like club music whereas "The Fame" was pure pop. The songs I love I really, really love. But there's a few tracks I immediately skip over. The Good- "Bad Romance," "Speechless," "Teeth," and "Telephone." The Ok- "Monster" The Bad- "Alejandro," "Dance in the Dark," and "So Happy I Could Die."

The songs I love, for the most part, are unlike anything I've ever heard before. "Speechless," is about as much of a ballad we'll probably get from Gaga. I hear the backstory about this song is that Gaga wrote it for her father who was refusing necessary heart surgery. She's mentioned on talk shows recently that her father received the surgery and is doing fine. This song translates to anyone who's dealing with someone who's giving up. "Teeth" is gritty. "Telephone" featuring Beyonce is an awesome poppy-techno track that is fun and catchy and makes for great going out music.

The ok song is "Monster." It's hard not to like a song with lyrics, "We french kissed on a subway train/He tore my clothes right off/He ate my heart then he ate my brain/That boy is a monster."

The bad songs sound like Madonna rip-offs or are too techno for my liking. Now don't get me wrong, I'm still fully behind Gaga 100% but I can't help but feel like the record company was just trying to capitalize on her recent success and wanted to buy a new album right away, regardless of the material.

You can buy "The Fame: Monster" on iTunes. Or if you want to just give it a listen you can stream the songs here.
