Born This Way

Good.

Better.

Lady Gaga's new CD, Born This Way, was released yesterday. I know I already talked about some of the songs a few posts back, but now ALL the songs are out. And I've listened to them all.

Here is my very brief review:

Born This Way, while very different from Gaga's The Fame Monster, is impressive. It has a more complex, less mainstream, feel than The Fame Monster. It's less easy to sing along to, and I got a bit of a self-absorbed vibe. BUT, that being said, it is still a very very good CD. Just about every track had me dancing at least from the head up (I think there are maybe 1 or 2 I didn't particularly take to, but I won't disclose which ones. I don't want to negatively bias your first listen). While I don't think Born This Way will be as widely praised as The Fame Monster, I think, musically, it's just as good, if not better. As well, there's no doubt Judas, Born This Way, and maybe even The Edge of Glory will rank up there in the charts with Pokerface, Bad Romance, etc. 

I'm no expert, just a Gaga fan, but that's what I think. I give it 4 big fat stars out of 5. Maybe 4.5, depending on what song I'm listening to (for example, if I'm listening to Edge of Glory, all of a sudden EVERYTHING SHE DOES IS AWSOME.)

                                                               My top 4 songs from the CD:

                                                               1) The Edge of Glory

                                                               2) Hair

                                                               3) Born This Way

                                                               4) Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)

Almost, but not quite "favourite" worthy: Government Hooker and You and I.

                                      AND WATCH THIS VIDEO, IT MAKES ME HAPPY.

NOT GOOD.
