Throwing in a bunch of advertising 101 jargon that my undergraduate intern could spew in his sleep doesn't make your argument valid especially since at least half of the record still sounds recognisably Gaga from the hooks in her songwriting, the subject matter of her lyrics, and I don't know, her voice?!
Your 'disappointment' means absolutely nothing since your very own USP argument self-defeats it. She has abandoned absolutely nothing about her unique brand as an artist except for the fact that the musical genre has changed. If you can't see beyond that, too bad.

I should have specified more clearly that the USP is how I interpret it for me. People may cling to her for different reasons, but the main one that drew me in years ago is no longer there. I don't care about the lyrics, I never died over her voice (don't like "powerful" vocals), ... It was all my own perception, and just as people have a right to continue liking her releases for various reasons, it's not fair to say "it's growth" when someone decides they don't like the release as a whole.
