    "Born This Way" might fall short of Gaga's previous projects but it brings forth a more mature, energetic, and fleshed out sound that fits well with her strong vocals.

    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"

    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.

    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, 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

    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.

    "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.

    Gaga nunca desaponta ela é uma artista incrível, muito versátil até em seus estilos de vestir e músicas qualquer um que diz que ela não é original vai falhar ferozmente, Gaga é sim muito além de nosso tempo como foi Nina Hagen, David Bowie, Queen!
    Os estilos dos clipes foram impecáveis desde Born This Way até Marry The NIght, muito bem produzidos como a Turnê também que foi maravilhosa como se fosse o castelo de terror da Gaga, muito criativo.
    Sem falar que este álbum teve uma pegada bem pros anos 80, algo que jamais vi em qualquer artista muito original, claro que teve críticas ao BTW o single ser um pouco parecido com a da Madonna Express Yourself, sim um pouco parece não serei hipócrita em mentir não é? Mas mesmo assim continua uma faixa totalmente expressiva que faz os LGBTs e as pessoas que não sentem inclusivas na sociedade se sentirem bem e vêem que eles não estão sozinhos nessa!
    Não há como dizer que este não é um álbum autêntico, a maquiagem que é usada em quase todos os clipes desse álbum é mais original do que tudo que vi nessa indústria nos últimos 10 anos nada mais superou nem nos 8 anos depois, maquiagem simplesmente perfeita.
    Para fechar quero dizer que é nota 8 sim pelo tom de destemida em Gaga de nunca ter medo de se expressar não importa o que os outros digam!!!    … Expand

    This is one of the best albums that I have heard. There are a lot of different elements in this album: Rock, Dance and so on, which is very art and classical. What's more, the lyrics are literary because they mention equal rights, some stories and so on. All in all, it is a great album of all time.

    This is Gaga's most overrated album and everyone knows It. Born This Way has a great sound, but for me It's too long. Bad Kids, Black Jesus and a few other tracks are not good for this record.

    The Edge Of Glory, Hair, Americano, Marry The Night and Yoü And I are the tracks that save this record (according to me) and show us for the first time how versatile Gaga's music can be.

    The bestest album by Gaga. Almost every song is perfect. My favourites are: Marry The Night, Hair, Heavy Metal Lover, You and I and The Edge of GLory. Easily the best album of 2011 and Gaga's best album!

    It is and will remain one of the best and most important pop records of the decade. Apart from the odd head scratcher ('Highway Unicorn', 'The Queen', and the title track), every track is incredible in it's own way. This is pop's answer to hard-rock - taking pop and pushing it to it's ultimate limits. It didn't only confirm Lady Gaga's talent, it enhanced it.

    when it's good, it's incredible. when it's bad, it's terrible. a really polarizing, too-drawn-out album with a few fantastic tracks.

    the best: marry the night, you and i, the edge of glory, hair

    Although I am a fan of Lady Gaga, but I want to vote honestly. I love this album, it is here that I discovered this singer and I think that it is great. But with this I do not completely agree. Evaluation of 10 can only get a great album. And in the great album should be 80% of the great songs. It was only 20% and it Born This Way, Marry The Night, The Edge Of Glory.

    Born this Way is incredible! Not a single dull track on the cd. A bit different from her earlier all-dance tracks, but still, very upbeat, with many more dance tracks. There is more depth to these tunes, but they are all still very catchy. I purchased the album the day it was released.

    Born This Way was way ahead of its time. She released this at the peak of her career, which was as bold a move as it was genius. Standout tracks include Marry The Night, Government Hooker, Judas, Bloody Mary, Black Jesus + Amen Fashion, Heavy Metal Lover, Electric Chapel, The Queen, You And I, and The Edge of Glory.

    Only Judas makes the score from the album goes down to 0. Stupid song that looks just exactly like Bad Romance, with poor lyrics and unnecessary polemic. She tried hard to do like Madonna, but she only proved to everyone the joke she really is.

    Born This Way, the lead single, is just another fail. It's annoying and copied by Express Yourself from Madonna. The other songs don't help.

    This is really brave step for Lady Gaga, this album is really experimental. This album is quite dark with few masterpieces in it. Sadly that the best songs in this album is underrated. Many songs just feels that doesn't fit on this album like you and i, fashion of his love and americano these songs just seems to bright for this album.

    Best album of Lady Gaga. Every tack is wonderful. Rangin from LGBT based "Born In This Way" and "Americano" to soulful perfomance of "You and I" and "The Edge of Glory", this is what Lady Gaga is - an artist. Gaga's vocal delivery is worth praise. Ofcourse the "Madonna" factor is all over the album, especially "Born In This Way" - modern version of Madonna's hit "Express Yourself". ButBest album of Lady Gaga. Every tack is wonderful.

Com uma estrada longa (e, muitas vezes, cansativa) de 17 faixas, nem 10 conseguem ser realmente boas. Mas é uma boa pedida pra quem gosta de um pop com muitos sintetizadores.

    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.
