So far the album is okay. I'm in the middle of the tracks.

I think I'm one of the few people that actually like this album. I loved TFM, but this album brings back nostalgic memories of my childhood in the 80s and my sister blasting music from then.

The only song I dislike is Americano.

I love this album, best work ever!!!! I'm sooooo buying it on Monday!!

I don't get why people liked the fame so much and wanted her to keep doing the same thing. for me, i would like to see her trying different types of music cuz she has the talent and a solid musical background.

Best tracks are Scheibe, Judas, Marry The Night, Bloody Marry, electric Chapel and Hair.

Bad Kids just failed and sounds like materials in the fame.

I can do without the 3 extra tracks on the special edition...they are boring.

YES! And that's exactly why I'm so pleased with this album. She tried something very different from everything else she's done so far and succeeded. And I personally thought The Fame wasn't even a good album. It floated by on the singles alone, with some listenable album tracks and only one that was amazing imo (Paper Gangsta...BDR too if you don't count that as a single). The Fame Monster was definitely amazing, but I think we'd all be bored if she just gave us a rehash of that. We all know if that were the case, everyone would be calling her unoriginal: first for "copying" Madonna with Born This Way and second for not changing and playing it safe with what she knows sells (as if that's even her at all).

^ IA. it took me a really, really long time to appreciate The Fame. i only heard "Just Dance" and when i first listened to The Fame as a whole, i really wasn't impressed. to me, it sounds more outdated than Born This Way. i think the reason why i even like The Fame now is because i saw her in concert in 2009. LOL.

i think i need more spins of BTW to see how it holds with TFM, but i much rather take her more recent material than her previous ones, imo.

i want to buy Born This Way, but i don't know what edition to get. i wasn't impressed with the bonus tracks on the Special Edition, but it has a better album cover. haha.

exactly, the 3 additional tracks were not impressive at all. And I really think the album sounds a lot better without them. But oh well, the font of the standard edition is horrible so I'm getting the special one.

after listening to each and every track, I must say 70% are not likable... x|
I can't seem to pick up most of her tracks. I feel most of them are ABSTRACT. I find them very hard to comprehend...

I didn't really like The Fame. I only like Paparazzi, Beautiful Dirty Rich, Starstruck, and Boys Boys Boys. I think every song on TFM blows all those out of the water though.

About GaGa calling it the best album of the decade-- I have to say it's up there for me considering we're only in the second year of the decade. It's on par with Teenage Dream and Loud for me.

Okay on second thought...I'm starting to really worry from what I'm hearing the album is just 'meh'. I think I might download it & sample it before I fork out money on it lol. I find it hard to imagine Gaga disappointing me, but still you never know :/....

totally agree that the extra tracks are not that great.

however, i'm loving a lot of the other tracks!

love love love americano, scheiße, bloody mary (so haunting), bad kids, heavy metal lover, and you & i! Also love born this way, judas and edge of glory.

hair, mary the night and government hooker are nice.

the rest for me are very skippable.

i think, for me, what will make these tracks truly amazing is if and when i see them live... a lot of the songs on the fame monster i didn't like until i saw them live and really experienced them before i could fall in love with them. to be honest, i didn't like judas until i saw her live performances; only then was i sold!

I like it. I really like Marry the Night, Judas, EOFG, Scheisse, Americano and Electric Chapel.
What I do wish is that The Fame Monster was a full album (to include vanity and glitter and grease) and then I wouldn't be wishing for more songs in that vein, because BTW is different!
I do still like it though, but I think that it what is holding back a huge amount of liking!
Damn, she has pushed her amazing voice again! Her voice often catches me off guard because I'm not used to singers actually being talented at singing >.< Not many singers could get away with anything this weird because you need a good voice to carry off this!
