    One of the albums of the decade. I love that Lady Gaga is different from the other pop girlies. My favorite is The Edge Of Glory. TO GOD AND THE GAYS!!!

    É um album bom! Achei a metade do album muito boa, até a faixa 7, porém nas oito musicas restantes não achei nada de mais, e pra falar a verdade até meio chato em algumas músicas.. Mas de modo de geral é um ótimo album, porém meu favorito continua sendo o Artpop!

    Extraordinary album. Might as well say that it's the best album Lady Gaga has made to date. The songs in this stand out so much, production is top-tier, and every song is a total jam. Gaga took pop to the next level and influenced what pop music is to this day. Love it so much!

    it’s a cultural reset, a reason to breathe. it’s the reason why I wake up, the reason why I eat, the reason why I live. it’s everything that gives me energy, everything that gives me strength, everything that i’ve ever wanted.

    This is the best album of all time. Every single track tells a story and gives off a feeling. This album has don miracles to the modern pop culture and society. For Gaga to speak up for what she believes ir right is something must artists won’t do in a whole album, but Gaga fights not just her believes, but for equality and womens rights. I simply cannot put into words how special andThis is the best album of all time. Every single track tells a story and gives off a feeling.

For Gaga to speak up for what she believes ir right is something must artists won’t do in a whole album, but Gaga fights not just her believes, but for equality and womens rights.

In my opinion the album of the year of 2011 (sorry Adele) all I can say is that I can hear this only all the rest of my life and I wouldn’t complain.… Expand

    For many people this album may be controversial, not for me. Much better than Gaga's first album..

    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.

    Simply a perfect album. There isn't a track on this record that is a misfire. I can't understand why it didn't get a better metascore. The album is probably the best of the decade. I haven't heard pop genius like this since MJ or Mad.

    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.
