@FindingMadonna indeed, many famous progressive rock albums only had one track per album side, like albums by Yes for example, and that was only because Vinyl LPs have sides.... had it been cds it would have been one single track I imagine. An EP is a single with some extra songs on it , ie a single with extended play time added to it . Originally they were longer versions of the song that had appeared on a single, before the age of the remix

@bitchy775 Hate to break it to you, but the definition you just pulled out of your butt is wrong. There is really no concrete definition of an EP, but it usually depends on the length, not the number of tracks. There are three-track albums. For example, many of Donna Summer's albums from the '70s. And Madonna first two album only had 8 songs. There have been plenty of 8-track albums in recent memory. The only reason TFM is considered an EP by some is because it was tied to The Fame.

The Fame Monster was intended to be a re-release, but instead the released it as an EXTENDED PLAY (EP) so it doesn't count as an album. There are standards that a recording must have to be categorized as a STUDIO ALBUM, like the quantity of songs. A proof of that is that STUDIO albums often have 10 to forward songs. An EXTENDED PLAY (EP) usually has 9 as maximum of songs. So, The Fame is the 1st STUDIO ALBUM, The Fame Monster is the 3rd EXTENDED PLAY and Born This Way is the 2nd STUDIO ALBUM.

love her hair

actually, The Fame Monster is the sophomore. BTW is her Third Studio Album.
Remember Gaga said TFM could stand on it's own 2 feet, and that it did not need "The Fame" to sale... making it a "Studio Album" :]

@TheMusicFabulous Either way it still isn't correct, technically TFM is classified as a sophomore album =/
-
@666meagain ok be cool. sophomore means second means second, although the term sophomore is widely used in education as in second year
-
@atartour yeah for me too, even me didn't edit her album as EP in my pc.
-
@TheMusicFabulous for m it gotta be her third album !!

6. ORIGINALLY, the FAME MONSTER is intended to be a RERELEASE VERSION of The Fame (NOTICED how related the title is)
7. Then GAGA said this on reports: "In the midst of my creative journey composing The Fame Monster, there came an exciting revelation that this was in fact my sophomore album, [...] I would not add, nor take away any songs from this EP. It is a complete conceptual and musical body of work that can stand on its own two feet. It doesn't need The Fame.
