I hate it when people try to play the "well, he/she is trying to grow as an artist card" when a musician goes and completely changes everything you enjoyed about their music. If I wanted to marvel at the "growth" of something, I'd plant a damn flower. You think people gave a shit when Coke tried to "grow" as a beverage? No, there was outrage.

You might hate it, but personally I like when an artist goes out of their comfort zone and tries something new. I don't think your comparison with Coca Cola was quite apt here but I can appreciate that fans of her original sound could dislike the album... I'm still of the opinion it's not a huge leap away, it's still pop and each song has its hook with her trademark vocals. Your posts here have been quite insightful though! I wasn't aware that RedOne and Gaga have had some issues working together after she had established herself - definitely a contributing factor, I would say.
