GaGa ooh la la
I just had to do a review on this album! I'm in-love with it, and to be honest I am surprised, pleasantly surprised. I really didn't think she could top The Fame but she did! Her first huge single was Bad Romance, it gave us a taste of what Monster would be like. Here's the video!
She has never looked better!
The video has themes running ramped through it! We first see her crawling out out of a white tank, she has covering over her eyes, this represents coming into a love affair blind and vulnerable. We then see her with(animated) huge eyes. To me this is like her bright eye child coming out in her. As children we are bright eyed and open, willing to accept everything and anything that will love us. This is how she is, playing in a bathtub acting like all is fine. The bathtub is another representation of security, she's happy in this toxic relationship. Then two women violently rip her from the bathtub and try making her drink from a cup. She takes it and spits it back in their faces. This is her being fed the truth about her relationship but refusing to accept it.

Things get worse after she refuses to accept what she knows. We then see her at some sort of a slave auction where men bid on her. Somehow giving in to her lover's sick fantasy. He bids on her and wins. We then see her approaching her lover's bed, but she stops and the bed is set on fire. She then does a peppy little number in a red outfit. The red representing her independence, for now she is free from the relationship because she killed her lover... well, literally in the video she did, but in reality it means she has broken off the relationship and is now free.

She's a free bitch baby!
Through out the video we also see disturbing visuals of her spine. This is her growing a backbone so she can stand up for herself. In the last scene when she whips off her polar bear coat we get a close up of her back, it's now fully grown. It's an amazing video and she's never looked better! She has come a long way from her bangs and big sunglasses. Don't get me wrong, she was awesome then too, but this is her transformation. Keeping it fresh with GaGa!
Yeah... it's a bit disturbing.
The entire album is just as amazing! the songs are all wonderful, some of my favs are Telephone, Monster and of course Speechless. This is GaGa like you've never seen her before, a darker GaGa. The cover art for The Fame shows her sparkleing and bright, with sunglasses and a smile, the cover of The Fame: Monster shows her in a dark, stringy wig with runny eyeliner and an almost desperate look on her face. This is The Fame, but the darkside of The Fame, what people don't see. The sunglasses are off, revealing whats happeneing behind all the glitz and glamour.

All in all the album is great. It's a short album(Only 8 songs) but it's well worth the $7.00 bucks.
The glitter falls...
GaGa shoes to the extreme!
