I think none of the albums are better than the other they are the building blocks of Gaga and of Little Monsters without one we wouldn't have the other!!
When i got TFM i really loved it, then when i got BTW i felt like that was the best thing she's made, now we have ARTPOP and i love that album more than any other album.
I LOVE ARTPOP. Don't get me wrong ! But TFM will always be my favourite album and BTW is so special to me because it helped me so much and because of BTW i really became a true little monster even if i was one before, i feel like i truly became one with BTW.
BTW was not better than ARTPOP. On BTW I only really listened to a few songs like Scheiße, MTN, and a couple other songs, and I would sometimes just skip the rest. ARTPOP is a completely different story! I can listen to ARTPOP straight thru and not want to skip a single song!
I don't want to be rude or anything but if your favorite album is the fame monster that means you do not know lady gaga as a person. all the albums before BTW are more industrial focused but BTW is the only album that lady gaga has written not caring about ratings. BTW is like a journey of an underdog and crushed teenager who accepts all of his/her flaws an becomes strong and feels young!
