I know this is a late review of Lady Gaga’s The Fame album but I say, better late than never. I didn’t even plan on writing one. I never even planned on buying her CD. I was just happy listening to her songs being played at XM satellite radio. But my husband must have been reading my mind yesterday morning because I woke up with the song "Poker Face" in my head. He came home from an errand yesterday and handed me Lady Gaga’s album. How sweet of him, no?
So I popped the CD in and put it on replay pretty much throughout the day. My first impression after the 1 cycle is that the album is Cohesive. How so? It’s definitely a dance album. You will dance from the first track "Just Dance" all the way to the last track "Summerboy". All the songs have a nice beat into it. To be honest, the songs all sound the same which is why I call it cohesive. Having said that, I still like it. There is just something into every song pretty much sounding all the similar yet making me want to shake my hips and throw my hands up in the air through all of them. NICE. I’d probably get in trouble for saying this but while Lady Gaga could pass as Christina Aguilera’s twin, there were some songs on the 14-track album where I thought I was listening to Jennifer Lopez.
There’s a slightly ballad-sound in the song "EH, EH (Nothing Else I can Say)" but overall The Fame is a dance-club album that would appeal to anyone who well, loves to dance. It’s a great work-out CD to listen to that’s for sure.
