    A masterpiece of a pop album. Lyrically and vocally, one of the best pop albums ever recorded. All of the songs are different and suit Gaga's amazing vocals perfectly.

    An amazing album! Yes, perhaps not the album of the decade, but comes close to pop album of the decade at least! the songs are so different from the other mediocre stuff that is put out. I love it!

    Il miglior album femminile di questo decennio. Sonorità sperimentali, coinvolgenti e appassionanti. Quest'album merita di essere ascoltato almeno una volta nella vita.

    "Born This Way" consolidated Lady Gaga's career as the most powerful pop singer on Earth in 2011. She mentions a lot of problems the youth goes through nowadays and praises differences claiming that we're all beautiful in our own way and I couldn't agree more with these beliefs.

    Born This Way has all the electro-sleaze beats and Eurodisco chorus chants that made her the Fame Monster. But the big surprise is the way Gaga pillages the Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar and Eddie Money records of her childhood. In the 1980s, radio was full of tormented Catholic kids, from Madonna to Springsteen. Gaga clearly grew up on that stuff. She doesn’t just give her Springsteen homage “TheBorn This Way has all the electro-sleaze beats and Eurodisco chorus chants that made her the Fame Monster.

Gaga clearly grew up on that stuff. She doesn’t just give her Springsteen homage “The Edge of Glory” a sax solo – she gets Clarence Clemons himself to play it.
    All over Born This Way, she takes on the big topics dear to her heart: sex, religion, muscle cars, her hair. She sings in French, German, Spanish and whatever language wants to claim “punk-tious.” She seduces men, women, deities and dead presidents. (“Put your hands on me/John F. Kennedy” – hey, it rhymes.) And in “Heavy Metal Lover,” Gaga purrs the immortal pickup line “I want your whiskey mouth/All over my blond south.”    … Expand

    While developing a theme among LGBTQ, religion, fashion and much of the '80s - like her first album The Fame, Lady Gaga has put a lot of her real emotions into it. I wouldn't give 10, because from the middle of the final album it gets quite repetitive sonically, but it can be considered one of the top 3 of Gaga's best albums.

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

    This album is still my favourite album ever. Experimental, full of amazing vocals and songs. You can feel Bruce Springsteen and Whitney Houston's influence. The song that outshines the rest is Scheiße, but still, every song shines their own unique way.

    Prior to its release, Lady Gaga said that "Born This Way" would be the best album of her career and the best album of the century. It didn’t turn out to be her best album OR the album of the century but it’s a damn good pop album.

It didn’t turn out to be her best album OR the album of the century but it’s a damn good pop album. With this album, she wanted to explore the sound of her second studio album "The Fame Monster" a bit more and in a more extreme way. They both share the same dark dance pop sound but "Born This Way" is even more experimental than its predecessor. A lot of the songs have an 80s synthpop sound but the album also incorporates elements of opera, mariachi, heavy metal, rock music, house and disco music. The album discusses themes such as sexuality, feminism, individualism, equality and freedom. I‘m just gonna point out the highlights of the album. "Judas", the scandalous second single of the album, is a pop gem with a heavy dubstep dance break. "Bloody Mary" is a masterpiece. One of the best and most experimental albums of Gaga's entire career. It features multiple religious references (as many songs on this album) and includes a Gregorian choir. Epic. "Heavy Metal Lover" is a breezy mid-tempo electropop and techno song. Gaga's background vocals are incredible on this song. I always felt like it’s amazing for the summer. "Government Hooker" is also a very experimental track and one of the best album tracks of her career. Gaga sings part of the song like an opera singer, a male voice sings with her and just the entire production is so different. The album's title track "Born This Way" does sound A LOT like Madonna's "Express Yourself" but it’s still an epic pop bop.

    "Born This Way" is an exciting, experimental pop album. The reason why I "only" give 8 stars is because some of the songs didn’t age well ("Scheiße", "Bad Kids"), it has quite a few fillers ("The Queen", "Americano") and it feels very overproduced at times. It’s not the album of the century but it’s a good one.

    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.

I would've liked to see more variety when it came to the production of the album especially with one this long. I loved Gaga's raw vocal performance on this project as well. However, I just expected to score this project much higher, but I believe the score I have given it is well deserved and wouldn't be where it is without the spectacular songwriting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 1.- MARRY THE NIGHT.- Un pop bastante mas up que lo que ha hecho hasta ahora. Una fusión perfecta de su teatralidad con el pop agresivo que la caracteriza. TOP
    2.- BORN THIS WAY.- MONUMENTAL PRIMER SENCILLO. Sónicamente bastante similar al anterior track y ambas dan un sonido nuevo muy distinto a la era The Fame. Una mezcla de Pop Dance con una pizca de rock. Producción musical bastante detallada. El ultimo coro es toda una experiencia. De mis favoritas en toda la carrera de Gaga. TOP
    3.- GOVERNMENT HOOKER.- TEATRALIDAD a flor de piel. Se fusiona muy bien con el sonido del álbum. Liricamente mucho mas atrevida que anteriores tracks pero aporta mucho con la sensación de la libertad de expresión que tiene el album. No es para nada mala, de hecho bastante divertida pero no es algo que escucharía siempre. De todos modos tiene mucho potencial. TOP
    4.- JUDAS.- Sigue la línea de los anteriores tracks, un pop up - tempo con mucha personalidad, sin dejar de lado esa escencia rockera rebelde del álbum. Muy buena lírica. De las canciones que mejor camufla la teatralidad de Gaga. El coro me parece un poco plano pero no llega a ser malo. Buena opción como sencillo. TOP
    5.- AMERICANO.- Volvemos con todo a lo teatral. Guitarras, suena a una fiesta italiana. La mezcla de idiomas, UN ESPECTÁCULO para el oído! ME ENCANTA! Y lo mejor es que sigue con la linea musical del álbum. Me hubiera gustado que fuera sencillo solo para presenciar todo el show que monta musicalmente. TOP
    6.- HAIR.- Un comienzo bastante suave. Me daba la impresión de que me iba a aburrir pero vuelve espectacular mente a la linea pop agresiva del álbum con un bonus de energía. De hecho me sorprende! Tiene mucho potencial como sencillo. TOP
    7.- SCHEIBE.- PERSONALIDAD SOBRE TODO. Muy de club. Deja un poco atrás la escencia rock y teatralidad pero la suplanta con una melodía muy glamorosa. La melodía del coro en mi opinion le resta un poco esa escencia de espectaculo pero en general ME ENCANTA. TOP
    8.- BLOODY MARY.- Vuelve la teatralidad y esa escencia rock rebelde osada. Deja un poco atrás el Pop up-tempo pero para la octava canción llega a ser necesario. Hasta ahora vamos super bien con la cohesividad.
    9.- BLACK JESUS + AMEN FASHION.- Se mimetiza muy bien con el anterior track. Un pop un poco mas tranquilo pero mucho más glamoroso. Liricamente bastante entretenido. No es mi favorita pero dentro del album suena bien.
    10.- BAD KIDS.- Vuelve el aire rock rebelde pero de una forma muy sutil. Tengo un poco de problema con los coros, me parece que matan un poco la cancion. No es mi favorita pero dentro del album suena bien.
    11.- FASHION OF HIS LOVE.- Un aire un poco mas tranquilo. La melodia me gusta muchisimo! suena bastante pop de los 90's un poco Whitney - Mariah. ME ENCANTA! TOP
    12.- HIGHWAY UNICORN.- De nuevo deja un poco de lado ese aire rock al principio pero lo recupera un poco en los versos. No es mi favorita pero no llega a ser mala. NEXT
    13.- HEAVY METAL LOVER.- EL SONIDO! Suena a un pop muy imponente. Pudo haber sido un poco mas corta, llega a ser un poco cansadora. Sin embargo es un perfecto aporte dentro del disco.
    14.- ELECTRIC CHAPEL.- Retoma la escencia rock. Como cancion no es muy recordable. No es una mala cancion pero no aporta mucho. Muy buena para ser relleno pero no triunfaria fuera del album.
    15.- THE QUEEN.- Lo más pop rock del album, no aporta nada al disco. Lo unico que rescato es la desaceleración del final. pero llegan a ser como dos canciones distintas en una. Esta si puedo considerarla relleno. NEXT
    16.- YOU AND I.- La mezcla perfecta de balada rock y country. Definitivamente va a mi top 3 del album. Sónicamente tal ves suena bastante distinto al sonido pop up tempo del album pero llega a ser el aire fresco que necesitaba el album luego de 15 tracks. ME ENCANTA! TOP
    17.- THE EDGE OF GLORY.- Excelente clausura del album. Engloba un poco de rudeza con el pop up tempo. Al principio no me gustó como sencillo pero creo que es una cancion con mucho potencial. Sigue perfectamente la linea de Born This Way

    EN GENERAL: Un trabajo mucho mas cohesivo que los anteriores. Falla un poco en la elección de sencillos y en la longitud del album. Pudieron descartar un par de canciones. Sin embargo en cuanto a produccion, denota una evolucion enorme desde The Fame y deja al album sin tener nada que envidiar a ningun otro. Mantiene la escencia pop agresivo de Gaga con un toque de glamour, mientras da el espectaculo que la caracteriza. En general un buen album    … Expand

    Born This Way was a victim of poor promotion at a time when the GP was willing to eat up anything Gaga was serving; thus, being able to grab a #10 with Judas despite it having only 3 days of tracking and Edge of Glory debuting at #3 as a promo single.

Gaga told a more personal story on her longest LP mixing dark and complex lyrics and song structure with dancehall-thumping beats and instrumentals inspired by rock, metal, and country.

    BTW preached inner and outer love and acceptance, and the tracks take you through those journeys beginning with Marry the Night, a chaotic blend of ballad, rock anthem, and dance classic that discusses the rage she felt after being dropped by her first label. A much less 'Fame'-era sounding song, MTN would've been an acclaimed lead single that previewed her evolved sound much more than Born This Way, which could've followed as the 2nd single and still broken records.

    Edge of Glory, the most underrated song of Gaga's discography, was denied its rightful place atop the Charts by being rush-released as a promo single after Judas began to plummet. The most rock-influenced of the 3 songs mentioned, it featured emotional and grandiose lyrics and a trumpet bridge and outro that still soared as a summer 2012 hit, if not as big as it could've been.

    MTN > BTW > EOG released between Jan and May would have given Gaga fans and critics a taste of the experimental yet familiarly catchy work of art that was the Born This Way album. Three #1 smashes would've allowed her to show off tracks like Scheisse, Government Hooker, and/or Heavy Metal Lover to close out the era, with the country-rock 'You & I' mixed in as a late-summer classic.    … Expand

    All songs still bangers after 9 years omg. Now Chromatica came out and it feels like Born This Way sister or daughter. Highly appreciated by fans remains her best album.

    One of Gaga's best and most solid pieces of work to date. Born This Way shattered records and will forever be one of the most iconic albums in pop history.

    Un capolavoro pazzesco, insieme all'album jazz, The Fame Monster ed a Chromatica, penso siano i suoi più grandi capolavori seguiti da Joenne e Artpop.

    Such an anthem for the LBTQ+ community. Bangerz that are timeless and an album for future inspiration for so many artists.

    This album is one of the best by the artist, at the time when she was criticized for having inspirations from Madonna, Lady Gaga bets on making an album with similar sounds and succeeds in being acclaimed by various media, Gaga has the great task of continuing to raise pop and he does it

    Las personas que dicen que este álbum es malo que les pasa? Una cosa es el artista y otra muy diferente el mensaje que deja este, dejen aun lado la competencia y disfruten uno de los mejores himnos LGBT de la hisotira y sobre todo letras como Hair que nos acepta como somos sin importar lo que digan los demás porque yo doy libre como mi cabello.

    born this way es un buen álbum con un buen concepto. la temática religiosa que tienen algunos videos lo hace bueno y fresco, sin duda lady gaga sabía los riesgos de hacer algo así, y le salió realmente bien. con respecto al álbum algunas canciones se sienten que sobran o no tienen nada que hacer allí. mis canciones favoritas son bloody mary, judas, government hooker y americano

    Government Hooker is such a fun weird song. This song immediately transports me to the simultaneous dimension of hallucinating Sex club and Fashion Runway at the same time.

    Following up "The Fame Monster" is no easy task, but Lady Gaga did a very good job at keeping her winning streak going! Unfortunately, it didn't get the recognition it deserved at the time, but I feel in 10 years or so, it will be seen as the solid pop record it really is.

    "Judas" is one of my favorite Lady Gaga songs of all time, and same with "Marry The Night" and "Bloody Mary."

    "Judas" is one of my favorite Lady Gaga songs of all time, and same with "Marry The Night" and "Bloody Mary." The bold choice of using fake German in "Scheiße" to coincide with its meaning was one that, in my opinion, paid off. "The Edge Of Glory" was never one of my personal favorites, but it is still extremely good nonetheless. The only ones that I didn't really like were primarily the bonus tracks. I wasn't a huge fan of Amen Fashion and I definitely preferred FOHL's demo, called "Earthquake (Then You'd Love Me)" over the final version, which kind of sounded like a Whitney Houston knockoff. I don't listen to "The Queen" often, but its meaning is beautiful, and as a Queen fan, I love the references in the lyrics. Lastly, "You And I" is probably Gaga's best piano ballad to date.

    Unsurprisingly for Gaga, the visuals were on point throughout the entire album and I loved all of the music videos. I know a lot of people criticized its religious themes when it came out, however, I quite like it. Also, another unpopular opinion—I love the motorcycle album cover.

    Favorite tracks: Judas, Marry The Night, Bloody Mary, Hair, You And I, Government Hooker, Americano, Scheiße

    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.

    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.
