Don't get me wrong, Nekk, it is vapid synth-pop... I hated it at first. But for the full Lady Gaga experience, you've gotta watch the videos, and try to soak in as much of her insanity as you can. She's in the Klaus Nomi tradition of avant garde art pop.

Are you familiar with Klaus Nomi? Same sort of idea. He made music about mostly typical pop things. ("falling in love again", etc) But deep down, he's was a space alien.

I disagree... it's incredibly clever synth pop, if you really break down and analyze what's going in musically in these songs.  There are many references, tips of the hat, and asides in there.  Plus, there's a "faux minimalism" at play: At first, you think it's just a keyboard riff and a drumbeat.  But if you listen deeper, there are dozens of interlocking and juxtaposing elements that propel the songs along.

He's also a raging Scientologist.

Wrong Beck. Crazy Fox Beck is a raging Mormon instead.
