A dance-pop album with a rough overall concept of the dark side of fame. (Apparently as a sort of addendum to her huge album The Fame, which I didn't know.) So, this is this era's Madonna, only, you know, darker. It's not really my thing, not made for me. But it's good; I appreciate it for what it is, even if it isn't what moves me. For example, the line "Baby likes to dance in the dark / Because when he looks at her, she falls apart" is a great line, but I'm an old man. I don’t need to hear it a thousand times over a dance beat. I knew what genre it was when I first spun the black circle (read: played it on Spotify), but when something has sold 18 million records, you kind of have to give it a try, right? Favorite tracks: "Bad Romance," "Teeth," the Queen-inspired "Speechless."
