The Fame Monster is a reissue of American singer Lady Gaga's debut studio album, The Fame. It was released on November 17, 2009, by Interscope Records, Streamline Records, KonLive Distribution, and Cherrytree Records. Initially planned solely as a deluxe edition reissue of The Fame, Interscope later decided to release the eight new songs as a standalone EP in some territories. The decision also reflected Gaga's view that the re-release was too expensive and that the albums were conceptually different; she described them as yin and yang. The deluxe edition is a double album featuring the eight new songs on the first disc and The Fame on the second disc. A super deluxe edition was released on December 15, 2009, containing additional merchandise, including a lock from Gaga's wig. An electropop record, The Fame Monster incorporates influences from disco, glam rock, and 1970s and 1980s synth-pop, as well as industrial and gothic music. The album was also inspired by fashion shows and runways. According to Gaga, the album deals with the darker side of fame, with its theme lyrically expressed through a monster metaphor. The album's two covers were shot by Hedi Slimane. From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fam...) under Creative Commons Attribution CC-BY-SA 3.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...)
