May 23, 2011If you're looking for a secondary Bad Romance or Just Dance, this album is not your cup of tea. This album shows the maturity of Lady Gaga. Born This Way is her finest work to date, and it nearly lived up to the hype that Gaga made it out to be. The Album Of The Decade? Maybe. The Album Of The Year? Sure. Either way, this goes to show that Gaga is here to stay.

May 23, 201117 Songs, 17 great Pop Tracks... in this album you can find an amount of ideas that could be enough for 5 albums by any other pop singer. And then you have a real singer. If you have to hear talking about a record for one year and a half, that's exactly what you want to listen to.

May 24, 2011I love it! every songs are single worthy, it's different from her previous work. definitely her best work yet, and one of the best album ever. definitely worth every penny.
-
May 24, 2011For this, her latest masterpiece, "Born This Way" was indeed born out of her. It's everything GaGa, from the star to beginning it is all fully her.
-
May 31, 2011This album differs from previous Gaga's albums, but it's not worse and I guess not better. It's just different. There are no stand-out songs but every song is fun, cool and easy to listen. It's a totally commercial album that was made in a highly professional style! Not a lot of musicians can actually do something like that nowadays! It's a solid album and it leaves only positive emotions!

May 25, 2011Buen álbum francamente pense que iba a ser un mal album pero despues de escucharlo me di cuenta que es muy bueno , con este album Gaga me ha impresionado va por el camino correcto ...No es el album de la decada pero si es Un Muy buen album POP ..

Oct 15, 2011Needless to say, awesome album. Tiny Mix Tapes is obviously unprofessional and biased to give it a zero, especially when almost every other review disagrees with it. Those who hate this album are just prejudiced against mainstream music and are very bigoted about it, or they believe those dumb rumours of Lady Gaga being Satanic when they have no hard evidence. Period.

May 24, 2011This album has something special. She sings with her heart and emotions, she wrote the whole album. It DOES have a meaning. The way she sings it's just perfect, she always gives a special touch to her music. I really loved it.

May 27, 2011BTW is not that bad, is all the way better than her old releases with no doubt, but i think she may be more strong and less full of herself when will make this, some songs are really good but others just dispossable, if the whole album have a artistic power that some songget may be flawless.

Aug 11, 2011This album's great, but there's really only four songs you truly need from it: "Judas", "Born This Way", "Electric Chapel", and "Edge of Glory". Otherwise, it's just the usual Gaga fill-in we saw in THE FAME MONSTER.

Feb 20, 2012The sounds are not good for the human ears. Lyrically senseless. Somehow religiously blatant. BUT THERE IS THIS GAGA WITH A HUGE VOCAL EVOLUTION! In this album, Gaga proved she is a singer. There are only few tracks on Born This Way that made me rate this a lot higher: Born This Way, The Edge Of Glory, You And I, and The Queen. These four tracks can stand alone! The rest ---- i don't like them.
-
Jul 16, 2011Born This Way does not quite work as well as a unit as "The Fame Monster" did, for example. However, the songs individually are rather good! I fell instantly in love with "ScheiÃ

Jun 4, 2011I think the sounds present in the album are much more original than those contained in "The Fame Monster. " I really appreciate the work done by Lady Gaga with this album and confirm his ability and his talent. I am italian and I can't speak english very wel, so I hope to make myself understood.

Sep 29, 2011Lady Gaga proves again why she is the next Madonna and the biggest thing around. Her talent, versatility, memorable voice and memorable lyrics attribute to the greatness of this album.

Jul 20, 2011An absolutely incredible album which consists of some of Lady Gaga's most catchy and fun material to date. Every song is unique and likeable in its own right. Gaga is on top form with Born this Way, and, judging by some of the material in Born this Way, she's got a lot more talent than people give her credit for. 10/10.

Aug 29, 2011Born This Way is basically Gaga exploring all the possibilities that there are in pop music. She stands out from other pop culture icons, and so does this album. With tracks filled with so much power and individuality, you can't go wrong with this album.
-
Dec 13, 2011I'm not a fan of Lady Gaga "the persona", but I simply can't deny - the woman makes great pop music. you can really tell she put her all into this album. I keep finding tracks that I previously didn't pay attention to that I'll give a chance and end up loving (i.e "Heavy Metal Lover").

Mar 23, 2012The lyric and production of the album is definitely a step up for Lady Gaga. One of the best album of 2011. Definitely worth your money. My favourite tracks are The Edge of Glory, You and I, Marry The Night and Judas. Check it out.

Sep 4, 2020Es aquà donde Lady Gaga alcanza su mayor y mejor expresión artÃstica de su carrera, ni The Fame, ni The Fame Monster, este fue el disco de Gaga que SI impactó y dejó huella en la cultura pop.
-
Jan 30, 2016Production aggressive, confused beats, lyrics that repeat along the tracks ... The few hymns found in "Born This Way" can to ensure the album a reasonable source of entertainment, but you can find similar tracks in best quality in discography classic pop artists.

Mar 19, 2012Very few noteworthy songs. The album is far too pretentious and fails to deliver the catchy dance anthems which fans and critics had come to love. The singles were far too simple, there are a few songs which save the album, Edge Of Glory + Scheisse for example. Worth a listen but don't buy into the hype.
-
May 23, 2011Whilst 'The Fame Monster' was more catchy, 'Born This Way' combines poetic lyrics, club-friendly beats, good vocals, and genuine heart to prove itself a winner in its own right.
-
May 24, 2011She prove it once again, she is truly Phenomenal with this album,
I love the message, the addicting wave, the beat in every single of the song in this album
well done Gaga........... -

May 24, 2011Gorgeous, the album uses so many sound and combines them to create a true work of art. There are also uplifting and inspiring messages throughout the album, those reviews which are negative are looking for more of the same from gaga, this isnt the same this is different and fantastic

May 24, 2011"Born This Way" is AMAZING! It's pop-dance-techno-rock extravaganza! The album is a clever mix of 80 's inspired tracks + unique futuristic Gagaesque anthems. Truly, Gaga is the best thing that happened to pop music since Madonna!
-
May 23, 2011The hype was worth it, indeed. This album is one of the iconic records ever made in pop culture. Are you tired of the same things on the radio? Well, thank Lady Gaga, she's created a new tune. I give this album 10 stars, it deserves it. An album with meaning and good tunes at the same time! Worth it!
-
May 23, 2011Amazing! She manages to have a message in her music, while retaining her pure pop glory. This is going to be the album of the decade, No Doubt About It! Put your paws up.
-
May 24, 2011SUPERB ALBUM, it's sooooo amaaaazing inspirasing, and rocks,
gaga prove it once more that she is bringing tornado into music industry, 10/10 perfection -

May 23, 2011Overwrought and overdone at times. But then again that is Gaga. She is best when she pulls back as with The Edge of Glory. This collection would have been served better with a a more conservative producer behind it to reel Gaga in a bit.At 17 tracks its a 6 at 11 its probably more an 8. Stand out tracks are Edge of Glory, the Petshopboys Abfab sound alike Sheibe, and Bad kids.
-
Aug 19, 2011What a let-down... GaGa said this was going to be the 'Album of the Decade.' Well it is FAR from that. Only song that is good is 'The Edge of Glory.' I think GaGa tried too hard with this record.

May 24, 2011Born This way catapults you into a journey from Marry the Night until The Edge of Glory. You can't help but jump out of your seat and dance, while at the same time feeling emotional about the message. To be quite honest even non-Gaga fans will be bopping along, the tracks are marvelous. This is a must have album/record.
-
May 25, 2011This could quite possibly be the best album of the year. It is original, varied, isn't pretentious and is unhurried - lyrically and musically. (UserWasNotFound)
-
Jun 19, 2011Lady Gaga the one-hit wonder. This girl is the luckiest celebrity of all times i swear because she's the most overrated. Well, its good to be overrated rather than being underpaid but this is a trash material(Already disposed mine...Thank God it was only 99cent)
-
Jun 30, 2011Its not memorable in the slightest to me. Outside of Bloody Mary and a few other key tracks there is nothing that makes me wan to listen to this album more than one week at most. She peaked with The Fame Monster!
-
Jun 29, 2011Uh wtf is this gaga? were you the one that came up with the fame?? Doesn't seem like it anymore, trash musi is what this is, sorry, not a monster anymore 'til you come up with something good again.

Sep 19, 2011Being not a Gaga hater but agreeing on the point that she always tries too hard, I think this album totally lacks the edge that her first album really had. A step backward. My ears cannot listen to anything amazing here.
-
Mar 27, 2012This album is one of those shocking-to-be-shocking albums, I literally can't tell the difference between the songs and almost every chorus begins with an "I'm"! I'm gonna marry the night, I'm on the edge of glory, I'm beautiful in my way, I'm just a holy fool.... She's become such an ego maniac, the songs are loud, lyrics are plain stupid, it's nothing but a big mess!
-
Aug 3, 2012Tired, repetitive, generic album. The only people who can enjoy this terrible album are her Little Monsters. The only song that keeps me from giving the album a zero is The Edge of Glory.

Jun 30, 2011This is an inconsistent mess. Really GaGa? This is NOT the "Album of the Decade" as she so claimed it would be. Only song that is good is The Edge of Glory
-
May 23, 2011Lady Gaga provides in this album a dark , intense , addicting melody. Seems like she puts all her efforts to turn this into a massive orchestra of feelings. Intense beats combined to good vocal performances and awesome choruses makes this album a guaranteed hit for the story of Gaga
-
May 24, 2011When I first listened to Born This Way, I was very disappointed that it did not sound like The Fame Monster. After my second and third listens, I really started to love the album and was actually glad that it was not a The Fame or The Fame Monster remake. This is Gaga trying something new and it sounds damn good! Not different, just new. Many of the songs (like Hair, ScheiÃ

May 26, 2011An amazing album from Gaga. The build up left me wanting more but the tracks on the album are solid and I find it hard to skip any of them. Lyrically and musically impressive. You can hear the hard work she has put into the album on any of the songs.

Jul 13, 2011The Fame was a masterpiece. The Fame Monster was a disappointment. And Born This Way is absolutely terrible. The worst album i've ever heard. It's all crap. She thinks that if she wears crazy stuff and release an album with weird songs, she's brilliant. I prefer beyoncé and even Britney Spears above this
-
Sep 10, 2011Most of the songs make no sence. "Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)", "Judas", "Bloody Mary"... Are these jokes? The only song which is really worth it to listen to is "Americano".
-
Sep 10, 2011Born this Way is not the greatest album of all the times and to be honest I heard better songs and music. Born this Way is a bad copy of Madonna's "Express Yourself".
-
Sep 15, 2011This person has no talent.. her songs are recycled and changed... If you can't hear it then your just a moron for buying all her songs when they are the same. This person is the most over rated popstar ever and doesn't deserve to be in the charts.
Advice to Lady Gaga, produce better music. -

May 23, 2011This is a really poor album. There are approximately 4 good songs out of 14 here. The rest are a bunch of club bangers that range from awful to just below mediocre. I just can't recommend this to anyone, and I don't see the hype.
-
May 24, 2011@ cliff55: tiny mix tapes giving this a zero does not mean they are unprofessional, their review was far well written than 70% of the other critics here.
-
May 23, 2011Amazing album. Other than Highway Unicorn (Road To Love) which is horrible, every track is unique and has something to offer. The album includes everything and even the ones who did not enjoy her previous work will find something they like.
Standouts:
Government Hooker, Judas, Marry The Night, The Edge Of Glory, You and I -

Sep 25, 2014Lady 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.

Q MagazineAug 8, 2011Born This Way feels like the first proper Lady Gaga album. [Aug. 2011, p. 114]

Jul 6, 2011Gaga 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.
