Spoiler:

I really hope she doesn't weird out the audience, last time she was sorta normal.
I wonder what song she's going to perform.
I want her to do a skit.

okay so I don't want any spoilers (even though Lady Gaga said on Twitter that the album leaking was a gift for fans saying how awesome it is xDD) so I'ma stay outta here till the album comes out and I go out a buy it (; But from the looks of it, sounds awesome.

Wow, I don't think I could disagree with you any more, ESPECIALLY in regards to Government Hooker, Judas, and Hair. Born This Way and Marry The Night are fine with me though, despite me not liking the latter on first listen.

I believe that many people who didn't like the album is because they aren't in tune with what she's putting out there this time, and stuck with the Poker Face era look in their brains. I'm sure you will change your mind about it as time goes on.


I love the album, it is much richer than her other 2 albums, it is overwhelming, easy to listen to and dance to, omg... I'm really buying on this.

^i agree...musically definitely RICHER..Im loving the sound from what I have vaguely heard over youtube...I totally get the METAL thing she was saying..and its wilder and more ambitious than I thought it would be..which is a pleasant surprise.
hopefully i will still be able to find the album 3-4hours from now..im not home yet

EDIT:
I just have to say...I LOVE THE MUSIC OF THE ALBUM!!!!! <3<3<3
I could even do away with the melodies of certain songs like Government Hooker (i have no idea whats the melody LOL) but the music is truly cool and fresh.

Americano is hauntingly addictive in a good way. Scheiße is a brilliant surprise!!!! I honestly didnt really care for the song but it actually has a good melody along with that current sound and beat Bloody Mary is darkkkkkk and beautiful.

Bad Kids feels so 80s/90s lol! I love the verses though. there's this punky attitude if not for the melody. Highroad Unicorn sounds GREAT!!! (to me) there's this kinda messed and complex thing going on...I don't know, Im actually intrigued by it.

Heavy Metal Lover is kinda...in this twilight zone. What I mean is like I feel like Im in another place..the same feeling Christina's Birds Of Prey gave me. Electric Chapel (i love the title somehow)..and this is kinda like Heavy Metal Lover...brings me to another trance state.

You & I...i was wondering how this song would turn out...It's still amazing She's got the swag in a ballad heh..Love the bass beat too.

I reallly LOVE THE MUSIC omg...if you strip away the melody for BTW, Judas..I think we've got some cool sounds

Honestly the album bore me.
I guess I don't like it partly because The Fame Monster was just perfection.
Personally though I don't think the sound of the album is far from the sound of Fame Monster and The Fame.

I'll give it the time to grow on me but I don't think I'll be buying a copy, I'll probably be buying it from iTunes though.

I'm in way more love with this album than Ithought I would be. I agree that the promos thus far are the worst on the album, but that doesn't mean I don't like them (ex I love Judas and Edge of Glory)

I love how that there's this great mix of dark gritty shock pop and optimistic 80's throwback, and it all goes together. Marry the Night and Edge of Glory are two of my fave songs and that's not even normally the style I like from her.

The cover is still one of the worse I've ever seen though XD

After listening to the album I can finally understand why she chose this cover. The whole album sounds like it could have been released years ago but not in a bad way...
It's an instant classic!

Awesome songs: Government Hooker, Judas, Scheiße, Bad Kids, Heavy Metal Lover, Bad Kids

Good songs: Americano, The Edge of Glory

Okay songs: Electric Chapel, Bloody Mary

Awful songs: Yoü and I, Born This Way, Hair, Highway Unicorn, Marry The Night

Marry the Night is boring T-T. I got used to the song now, but still don't like it. BTW is very week too. I have the impression this song don't fit the album very well.
I hoped a lot of Goverment Hooker but is so ZZZzzzzZZZZzzzZZ. Serious what a boring song. When Judas came out I didn't like but it's perfect on album. Lift up the album energy instantly.
Americano is amazing. I was speechless . Best Gaga's song in a long time ^-^. Very good.
Hair is ok. Nothing special.
Schibe and Bloody r very creepy *-*. I love the atmosphere of those songs.
I think Heavy Mental Lover should be an interlude. Serious I forgot what this song was after playing. Electric Chapel is amazing the intro is very good ^^.
You and I is the best ballad of the album .
TEOG is very good ^^.
Overall it's a good album I like the fact she worked with metal instruments. The best tracks are: Americano, Judas, You and I and Electric Chapel. The worst tracks are: Marry the Night, Heavy Mental Lover, Goverment Hooker.

They lyrics in Scheiße doesn't sound German at all.
Sorry, but if I wouldn't know what she's saying I wouldn't understand a thing.
She's more singing it like French.

All of the songs are just okay so far, nothing really stands out to me or makes me want to put it on repeat. But they're definitely not bad, just might take some time to really grow on me.

Hopefully not. XD
I just think she should have practiced much more. If you wanna sing German or in any other foreing language do your best.
Just listened to Government Hooker and Bloody Mary. Didn't like them as well.
Hope the rest is better.
So far The Fame Monster was lightyears better.

The few actual German words were pretty clear though... Still, naming a song "Scheiße" is pretty awesome

I have to admit that I was never a huge fan of hers, but I really enjoyed this album, which I only checked out because there was such a huge hype about it. I might have to give her older stuff another try^^

No, it's not just some words in the lyrics, but ok.
I'm also not a fan of her, never was, but I won't become one with the new album. XD
She is a talented artist though and so I check her new stuff out every time.

I thought the same thing. I don't know German myself, but my brother speaks it so I hear it enough to know it sounds nothing like what she was saying. Not sure exactly why she gave it a French accent. I'm surprised her of all people didn't try to perfect it, but oh well. I imagine she sounds to Germans how J-Pop singers speaking Engrish sound to Americans like me.

I listened really closely now for a second time and I think she didn't sing any German, just Scheiße and Fräulein, two words. Sounds more like a mixture of languages, Dutch, French...or even just a fantasy one.
Would fit cause the first lines are: I don't speak German, but I can if you like
The lyrics out aren't correct then. Curious how the real lyrics are.
