    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

    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.

    After hearing Lady Gaga's previous project 'The Fame Monster', I expected more from her sophomore album, but I can appreciate the art she's made with this project. This album succeeds mainly in its lyrical beauty. The songwriting for this record is superb and the issues mentioned on the album are so important to society and I enjoy seeing Gaga getting deep with pop music.

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.

    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.

    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. It lacks the overall quality of Robyn's «Body Talk» or the stand-out singles of Rihanna's «Loud», yet it's still packed with hooks, killer choruses and unexpected twists.

    Este é um álbum para qualquer ser humano se libertar das amarras que a sociedade nos impõe, muitas vezes, de forma excludente e fora de que deveria ser ideal. Ouvi durante toda a minha adolescência e a Bad Kid que habita em mim compreendeu que o que é "Nascer assim"

    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.

    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

    Even in 2020, this album is still sends a powerful message of inclusion, bravery, diversity, being free, all achieved through love of oneself and others. Highly recommend a listen into one of Lady Gaga's most eclectic albums.

    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.
