iTunes Review
The Fame is in many ways the perfect soundtrack for 2008, a year in which celebrity culture, club culture, and fashion culture achieved absolute fusion. The album’s philosophy is summarized on its title track: “I can’t help myself / I’m addicted to a life of material / It’s some kind of joke / I’m obsessively opposed to the typical.” Lady GaGa looks to the icy, synthesized funk of the ‘80s for inspiration, and the album’s unapologetic (and unironic) celebration of consumerism is a throwback to the Reagan years. Lady GaGa has explained that the album is about “how anyone can feel famous,” and in a strange way its nihilistic obsession with fame and wealth is a compelling reaction to a crumbling American economy. Unlike similar records by Britney Spears or Katy Perry, Lady GaGa’s background as a DJ validates her songs. “Just Dance,” “Poker Face,” “Beautiful, Dirty, Rich,” “Money Honey,” and “Starstruck” are grounded in the hypnotic funk of classic disco. Lady GaGa reaches for the careless hedonism of Studio 54 and while The Fame isn't likely to be an enduring album, there's something oddly comforting about an album that wants only to speak to the needs of the present moment.

not sure
by SmokeGrapesEverydayhow to feel about lady gaga. on one hand she makes very catchy pop, dance music and is very attractive if she only knew how to dress herself. on the other hand, in my personal life, she looks so much like a long time friend of mine i have complicated relationship with. they both haunt my dreams sometimes. i'm not sure what to say about lady gaga.
M
by NayleaBest album ever! I never get tired of it! :)
Mostly Good...
by RCScottLady GaGa is a woman - closer to a girl - who has an amazing talent. From the raw "Poker Face" to the ballads of "Eh, Eh, (Nothing Else I Can Say)" & "Summerboy", this album is great.
Just Dance: 8.7/10: Not my favorite, but it's good. Techno, hip, it makes you think of some woman walking home - dancing & slightly drunk - home with her boyfriend in the big city.
LoveGame: 9/10: Innapropriate, modern, and totally straightfoward. She doesn't "hide" the message (is anyone thinking "If U Seek Amy"??), and it's a great song.
Paparazzi: 9.5/10: Repetitive, high, obsessive, & captivating. This was my favorite, but I guess I forgot about "Poker Face"...
Poker Face: 10/10: The song of the album. Her voice here is raw, powerful, and full of wonder. Whenever I hear it, Las Vegas comes to mind.
Eh, Eh, (Nothing Else I Can Say): 8/10: I don't like ballads. Let's leave it at that.
Beautiful, Dirty, Rich: 8/10: A little heavy on the synthesizer, GaGa. This song is good, but why on EARTH is it explicit?! I listen to it, paying attention for SOMETHING, and I don't hear anything else besides what she usually says. Am I deaf, or is this song unfairly accused of having a "bad word" in it?
The Fame: 8/10: The title track. It's not the best, but nowhere near the worst. It makes me think about the measures present-day stars have gone to to achieve the fame and money they have now.
Money Honey: 6/10: Drums! Synthesizer! "Damn!"!!! That's all there is in these songs, but there are plenty better than THIS!
Starstruck: 5/10: Where did she go wrong? It's awful, but the real flop is ["Brown Eyes"] (see "Brown Eyes").
Boys Boys Boys: 8/10: Oh, a relief to the crud! It's good, and tells about what most teenage girls are into: BOYS! BOYS!! BOYS!!!
Paper Gangster: 9/10: This song moved me. I hardly know how or why, it just did. It's sad. On the look for someone cool, nice, loving, and certainly no faker (or "paper gangster").
Brown Eyes: 0/10: Yes, we have a flop, here! Call the Emergancy Flop Agency! It's horrible! Destroy it, I say! How could Lady GaGa come out with this?
I Like It Rough: Retro, makes me think the 80's (see review on "The Fame Monster", specifically "Dance in the Dark"). It's good, captivating, and just makes you smile [and dance].
Summerboy: 2/10: Let's get lost, find a better song! Gosh. Some flops. Well, it's a debut album. What'd you people expect??
