I've listened to it

My feelings are likely to change over time, but at this point...
Spoiler:

I can say that Americano, Bloody Mary and Electric Chapel are the best songs on the album.
Schiße's got a good beat, and her German speaking (which, although I don't understand) is dripping with sex.
Goverment Hooker was a big disappointment.
The recorded version of You and I made me cringe.
My least favourite song is probably The Edge of Glory.

No, the album isn't mind-blowing.
I need to listen to it some more.
But, oh well...
I have different expectations when it comes to pop stars and, say... classical musicians.

With the exception of Judas, she absolutely did (TEOG and Hair were pretty crap imo).

wow, all the tracks that have leaked/been released (BTW, Judas, TEOG, & Hair) sound NOTHING like the rest of the album. i probably say they are the weakest of the album (well, i'm not a fan of "Bad Kids", lol).

it definitely has a sound of its own. nothing like The Fame or The Fame Monster. heck, it doesn't even sound anything like what's out in current pop music. dark, but at the same time playful. i love it!

I haven't heard all of the songs yet but the ones I've heard don't sound like single material. What does everyone think her next single will be?

I guess it was good they released TEOG and Hair before since they're easily the worst songs on this album. Everything else is incredible. My faith has been restored, despite the still-wretched cover.

I was thinking what is GaGa doing..why is she releasing the weakest songs as the lead singles (BTW,Judas) I find those really quite boring compare to the album songs.....Americano gives me chills just like how Alejandro did, Schiße is a really really really really really highly addicting song
..but still it can't hurt to release Schiße or Americano as the second single..correction *FIRST* promo single
those are AMAZING
regardless of the cover ugliness ~day one purchase for me


ROCK ON 80's sounding (Dark)Lady GaGa!!
Can't wait till Black Jesus, The Queen, and Fashion Of His Love leak as well..but I think those will probably wont'd disappoint me

Gaga, why would you release the worst songs (except Judas) as singles? Government Hooker, Americano, Electric Chapel, Scheisse, and Bloody Mary are flawless

Born this way, Marry the night, and Hair are amazing.
Americano and Schibe; i don't care either way.

Must... Find...
I must say I'm disappointed in the singles. Judas and BTW are good, judas being the best..

But it doesn't compare to my all time favorite of gaga. Fame Monster.

Okay, so I really like Marry The Night and I think it's a great opener for the album! I still am not super fond of Born This Way, but I love Judas and I'm really please with the way the studio version of Government Hooker turned out too! I think Americano is sick and was not expecting Italian lyrics in this album! Hair reminds me oddly of this reggae song I heard once called "I am Not my Hair" which is ironic considering it's saying the opposite.

I really love Scheiße too-- love, love the way the German part turned out. Bloody Mary is quite creepy... not sure how I feel about it. I think Bad Kids is kind of awkward... sounds a little bit like a cheerful Ayu song. I can see this one being a big part of her next concert. Highway Unicorn sounds like Born This Way x Dance In The Dark.

Heavy Metal Lover doesn't really leave too much of an impression.. Sounds like an updated version of a song from The Fame. I quite like the chorus though. I think Electric Chapel is gonna be a grower. I got the same feeling I got the first time I heard Judas when I listened to it. The studio version of You and I isn't as powerful as the version she's been performing live. Wish her voice was more powerful. I still love this song though. And finally, the Edge of Glory. I really like this song also and think it's a great ending song!

Overall, I like the album. I liked The Fame Monster a lot, but I didn't really like The Fame-- so this is her first full length album I'm feeling all the way through pretty much. For me, this solidifies her position at the top with Katy Perry. I think it's hard to deny she's going to disappear anytime soon either with this album!

was concerned when hair sounded like edge of glory, and perez said that those singles were representative of the album... i don't think they represent the album at all! like most have noted, i feel like those songs, while good, pale to compare to the rest of the album, with it's strong electronic beats. love love love is all i have left to say, and that i will definitely pick up my copy on mondayyyyy
