ARTPOP Consensus There has been a long discussion on the ARTPOP talk page about what the critical reception page and I m attempting to bring in outside opinions as the discussion has gotten stagnant Just to make sure you understand the situation fully here are the nine sources I ve listed that explicitly state that the album received generally positive reviews DigitalSpy Metacritic s weighted consensus of generally favorable The Huffington Post Entertainmentwise YahooMusic The Southern Digest Pride Publishing Group Off the Shelf Street Insider I m arguing for the page to state that Artpop received general positive reviews with a disclaimer afterwards that states that the reception has been more ambivalent than her past works STATic has been engaged in this debate for months and has admitted twice that he dislikes Lady Gaga and even made fun of her and her fans which obviously constitutes WP Bias Homeostasis has previously been blocked from editing due to his unprofessional behavior on Gaga pages and has recently admitted that he s been accused numerous times of bias against the artist in question This has been a ridiculous process that had no business lasting as long as it did but as you can see the consensus is obviously generally positive although the response was more ambivalent than her previous work
