    It's very powerful body of work discussing many controversial topics or just love. It's visuals are very good, and my most favorite song of all-time comes from this album - "The Edge of Glory".

    This album is timeless. Each song is so unique and this album is easily one of her defining bodies of work.

    Amazing, each song is a trip to a chaotic world where we all would like to rock, it is an endless number of dark trails that make you vibrate with emotion, one of the best of the decade without a doubt

    Born This Way really reinvented the concept of "musical era" because it wasn't only about the album, but the performances, the outfits, the music videos, the interviews. Everything had a really strong concept.

    Best Lady Gaga album and one of the best pop albums of all time. "Electric Chapel" it's a hymn.

    Grandes letras envueltas en una gran producción con el propósito de entregar un gran mensaje.
    Born This Way tiene que se uno de los Álbumes mas infravalorados de la historia pues la obra completa no solo funciona a nivel musical, sino inspiracional.

    This is kind of albums that can save your life. Born This Way is really one of the best albums ever. It contains club hits, ballads and just strong songs. Many genres from electronic pop to opera. Gaga deserves the name of new Queen of Pop.

    Just put your paws up 'cause you were born this way, baby
    My mama told me when I was young
    We are all born superstars

    In the glass of her boudoir
    "There's nothing wrong with loving who you are"

    When the dust settles, this will easily be remembered as one of the best releases from 2011. It's a really good pop rock/dance pop mixture of songs. I really enjoyed it when it was released and some songs really stood the test of time. I like the 80's/90's revival that it brought.

    Lady Gaga's "Magnum Opus". With the masterpiece that is ‘Born This Way’, Lady Gaga took her established formula and pushed it in new directions, proving that she was in it for the long haul. After the hypermassive success of the political yet empowering lead single, Gaga proved that 'Born This Way' was a turning point in her career. Exploring a variety of genres such as Electropop,Lady Gaga's "Magnum Opus". With the masterpiece that is ‘Born This Way’, Lady Gaga took her established formula and pushed it in new directions, proving that she was in it for the long haul. After the hypermassive success of the political yet empowering lead single, Gaga proved that 'Born This Way' was a turning point in her career. Exploring a variety of genres such as Electropop, Synth-pop, Rock, Euro-dance, Disco and Jazz and taking inspiration from politics, LGBT rights, music legends (Madonna, Whitney Houston, Queen ETC), Greek mythology, religion (biblical themes in 'Judas', 'Bloody Mary', "Black Jesus + Amen Fashion"), 80s and 90s club music and avante-garde dark fashion Gaga proved that this was indeed a turning point in her career, inspiring and changing lives of millions of fans around the world. This album is truly one of the best and most life changing albums of this century. Even in 2019, it's impact can still be seen on millions of fans, and even other artists albums. As I said earlier, this album pushed limits, exceeded expectations, and truly redefined pop. Thank you, Gaga.… Expand

    Lady Gaga promised her fans (perhaps a tad prematurely) that her new album would be the greatest of the decade. But even if the next nine years bring something better, we're unlikely to hear anything bigger than Born This Way.

    Born This Way feels like the first proper Lady Gaga album. [Aug. 2011, p. 114]

    Gaga has always been able to anchor her haughty conceptual undertakings with simple, catchy tunes, but with Born This Way, the persona and the message are starting to bleed into the songs. It's not a good look.
