The Fame Monster
Background
Lady Gaga’s second album “The Fame Monster” was released on November 18, 2009. It was originally intended to be released as part of a re-release of “The Fame”, but plans changed and it was released as an album standing on its own. In an interview, Lady Gaga states that "I think re-releases are unfair, [...] It’s artists sneaking singles onto an already finished piece of work in an effort to keep the album afloat. Originally [my label] only wanted me to put out three songs and now it’s much more than that. It’s a new album’s worth of material."
The eight songs on “The Fame Monster” dealt with Lady Gaga’s experiences of “the darker sides of fame” during the turbulent years 2008-2009. The addition “Monster” is to be seen as a metaphor through which to regard Lady Gaga’s sudden rise to worldwide fame.
Describing the work behind the second album, Lady Gaga says "On my re-release The Fame Monster, I wrote about everything I didn't write on The Fame. While traveling the world for two years, I've encountered several monsters, each represented by a different song on the new record: my 'Fear of Sex Monster,' my 'Fear of Alcohol Monster,' my 'Fear of Love Monster,' my 'Fear of Death Monster,' my 'Fear of Loneliness Monster,' etc."
"I spent a lot of nights in Eastern Europe, and this album is a pop experimentation with industrial/Goth beats, 90's dance melodies, an obsession with the lyrical genius of 80's melancholic pop, and the runway. I wrote while watching muted fashion shows and I am compelled to say my music was scored for them."

I don't know if it's that strange, I dont believe the crap that she writes em herself. I think the record industry writes them for her.
