It's a banger!
We're running a Gay Hyperbole class you may be interested in.(For reference, I rarely rate anything a 10, so any ratings 8 or over mean I f**king love it.)
This album still floors me every time, for all the right (and wrong) reasons:
10 Aura - I mean, where to begin? I suppose this is the only song batshit enough to open this utterly insane tour-de-force of an album. Many times I have fantasised about donning a burqa in order to raped by a gaggle of muscular Muslim migrants while clinging to dinghy crossing the Med but never more than when I envelope myself in this max track.
11 Venus - possibly the greatest Gaga song of all time. Hooks for days. Just when you think you can't take any more chorus, here's another! Those ABBA teas are intergalatically sublime.
10 G.U.Y. - The sequel to Frankie Goes To Hollywood's Relax, this bottom's up anthem packs more punch than a fist in the hole
08 Sexxx Dreams - not as voracious as G.U.Y. or as filthy as Heavy Metal Lover, but cute for a taste and a swallow
10 Jewels N Drugs - as someone who has always gagged over UrbanGa this ratchet drug-addled bop has always left me on a high
05 Manicure - horrible vocal but a good song lurking somewhere under the cuticle
11 Do What U Want - the other greatest Gags song of all time. Every time I listen to it I want my back broken a dom black top.
10 Artpop - sublime. Stripped down on the piano it works just as well. Some of her finest songwriting.
05 Swine - on the one hand, the worst thing she's ever done; on the other, there's a great little song buried under all that vomit-indusing 2012 production
05 Donatella - like a gay Tumblr blog doing a really bad Snatch Game impression to music
10 Fashion - another reductive Gags homage that works much better than it should
07 Mary Jane Holland - the sound of the start of a comedown
05 Dope - I Wanna Be With You was better
10 Gypsy - amazing
11 Applause - my most played song of all time.
As part of the course, I am giving a guest lecture about gay numbers up to 10 and a spoiler is that the numbers 11, 13 and 16 feature prominently.We're running a Gay Hyperbole class you may be interested in.

12455 actually derives from Jark's seminal immediate Catfights & Spotlights review12455 is the new 13. I know you don't Eurovision.
Verdicts from my initial listen:
1. Side Chick | Absolutely the most wonderful Sugababes song ever. Totally incredible. R&B, so so modern. Rap-like verses. 12455/10
2. Unbreakable Heart | Just immense, again. Amazing key change near the end and a great vocoded Heidi bit. Brilliant key change too. 10/10
3. Can We Call A Truce | Probably an even better closer than Now You're Gone. Amazing Heidi verse and Amelle chorus. Epic strings. 10/10
4. Hanging On A Star | This is class. Brilliantly youthful, retro yet modern. A 'bit' like a GA song actually. I think it sounds Xenomania-ish. 10/10
5. Every Heart Broken | Already spoken about this. Great song. 9.5/10
6. Nothing's As Good As You | Gorgeous, cute without being cutesy. Fab vocals. 9/10
7. You On A Good Day | Brilliant lyrics, brilliant vibe, brilliant spoken bits. A future favourite I'm sure. 9/10
8. Girls | Obviously we all know this, and I love it. 9/10
9. Sound Of Goodbye | A sad song, it's production reminds me of a Robbie Williams ballad! Though better than that obv. 9/10
10. Sunday Rain | Grand, like a Bond song. Dark. Will grow for sure. 8.5/10
11. No Can Do | Great chorus, so-so verses. Brilliant final minute. 8/10
12. Beware | Not a classic, I think it's fair to say. Alright, but bordering on filler perhaps. 7/10
Their best album by a country mile. I just adore it already.
What a disgusting pig.05 Swine - but how quickly it all falls apart!
02 Fashion! - I literally despise this song
Why's Do What U Want removed from Spotify?
But why REMOVE a song from an already RELEASED album? Surely she went collecting the physical versions back as well and replacing them with new ones?

However that is, It's not what I want in this digital world! They should have at least replaced it with the far superior CUNTINA version!They reissued the album without it! I don’t know if people could trade in their old one or not though
It's a bloated, patchy album and no amount of revisionism is going to change my mind...
*opens grindr and invites that ropey 37 year old with the nice arse over*
Wow. Is that actually how you see me?
That was five years ago - so yesWow. Is that actually how you see me?
