Born This Way

This is a great album and her best one! All of the songs are so good and they make you dance to their rhythm. Also the booklet is really good and artistic! 😃

Amazing album. An experience with a great message running throughout the record. I love it.

Thank you for everything!

Just the lovely album with clear vocals and sound happy to have it

ok

El CD vino en buen estado y llegó mucho antes de lo previsto, concretamente una semana y un día antes. Es la versión estándar, que incluye 14 canciones más el remix de “Born This Way”, 15 canciones en total. El disco funciona perfectamente. En cuanto al precio, me parece bastante bueno para un CD así.

Love it

And that compliment is coming from someone who labeled the album's first single, the title track `Born This Way', a complete failure and a horrid rip-off misstep by the controversial artist. I still feel the same way about that song in particular, but after listening to this album as a whole I must say that there is so much AMAZING here it easily offsets the song or two (or three) that I think are terrible. It's like Gaga is either completely brilliant or just plain awful. Thankfully there are fourteen tracks on `Born This Way' and I only consider three of them to be terrible (or in that ballpark). You do the math. Consider the singles first. First there was that awful `Born This Way', but I said all I have to say about that track on my review of the single. Forget about that song. Move onto the controversially brilliant `Judas', a song that attacks religious overbearance with fervor and an oddly singed eerie flare. The bridge is flawless, and while the song has called comparisons to Gaga's own `Bad Romance', I see such originality and style oozing out of this track. Still, `The Edge of Glory', which closes out the album, is still my favorite thing about the album. I love everything about it. The chorus is sharp and catchy; the verse structure is uplifting and fun and that saxiphone breakdown is just so richly original. This is why Lady Gaga is relevant today! I know that `You and I' is not a `single' yet (or maybe it never will be), but I consider it as such thanks to Haley Reinhart's performance on American Idol. I know that many `little monsters' are going to take issue with what I'm about to say, but Haley did a better job with this song (her smoky vocals added a bluesy country vibe to this song that recalled the great Julie Roberts). Still, it's a GREAT song and Gaga delivers a different side to herself that gives her yet another layer. I mean, the honky-tonk nature of this song is so far removed from the industrial power of `Judas' or the 80's throwback of `Born This Way'. You cannot deny Gaga her versatility, even if you once wanted to pigeonhole her. `Americano' is laced with Latin influence, and where I felt `Alejandro' failed to impress (I know, everyone else seems to love that song, including my wife), `Americano' is practically FLAWLESS. It is high spirited, full of lush energy and just bursting at the seams with intoxication. `Scheiße' is got such slick edge thanks to the German interlude that rides itself throughout the duration of the track. The techno base is well used and the rave worthy musical arrangement never disappoints. This is Gaga paying homage to the great Madonna without crossing over the line of near plagiarism and thus losing her relevance. `Scheiße' gets it. It's a song that will grow and grow on you, much like `Government Hooker' will. This is another song that laces itself with a gritty edge (and that sadomasochistic male vocal is undeniable). The political statement made is perfectly executed without being preachy but instead becomes a part of Gaga's style. `Marry the Night' and `Electric Chapel' are both songs that I enjoy, but the fall slightly away from the `brilliant' term I was tossing at the majority of the album. They just feel slightly monotone. I'm on the fence about `Bloody Mary' because it is so stagnant for most of the track and then about two and a half minutes in the song becomes kind of amazing. I'm sure after another five-hundred listens I'll think it's the best song on the album. The lyrical content alone is kind of flawless. My friends totally disagree with me about `Highway Unicorn' and `Heavy Metal Lover'. I love them, they consider them weak offerings. I don't understand that assessment. `Highway Unicorn' alone is like one of the greatest things ever. I love the nostalgic feel to the track and yet it feels so crisp and modern. Sure, the chorus has a familiarity to it that kind of laughs in the face of `originality' but it doesn't matter. It feels like 80's pop/rock personified. `Heavy Metal Lover' is also an animal all its own. It doesn't feel `heavy' at all, but far more industrial with hushed tones and a unique nature that makes it stand out as separate from the rest of the album. It feels more like a piece of music than a song itself, if that makes sense (think Lords of Acid type techno). And while I consider `Born This Way' awful, it isn't as bad as `Hair' or `Bad Kids', which are just plain stupid. I hate stupid song. Oh well, no one album can be void of any missteps, and missteps be ignored because Gaga laughed in my judgmental face and proved to me that she was as relevant as she claims to be and as influentially important as the media likes to tote her as being. She is a strange breed of artist that should not be as amazing as she is, but she is and this album will be remembered for years, decades maybe even longer as one of those `events' that took the world by storm. I'm calling it now; this puppy is going to land on quite a few Top Ten of the Decade lists come 2019. If you're interested; my ranking. 1) The Edge of Glory 2) Scheiße 3) Americano 4) Government Hooker 5) Highway Unicorn (Road to Love) 6) Judas 7) Yoü And I 8) Heavy Metal Lover 9) Marry the Night 10) Electric Chapel 11) Bloody Mary 12) Born This Way 13) Hair 14) Bad Kids

This album is full of great sounding songs to dance to, my personal favourites being Americano and Bloody Mary. The lyrics also focus a lot on being queer, which is great to see with such a popular bisexual artist.
