lady gaga has done it once again, she's embarked her 2nd most awaited studio album at #1 on billboard top 200 albums. This is gaga's first album to peak at #1 in all her albums so far.The album has been received well by critics and thus it has achieved an average rating overall. I happened to listen to the full album recently and thought that i should write down my own review. Talking of the first single "Born this way",it is the fastest selling single in iTunes history and topped billboard hot 100 for consecutive 7 weeks and also charted atop in several other countries. The song because of its eccentric and outrageous lyrics became a talk of the town much before its release. The re-invigoration of human species and its depiction in the bizarre, rhetoric way in presenting in the form of monsters made the song quite stupefying.Also the lyrical content such as "chola" and "orient" put forward many allegations and frequent criticism by some asian communities. But as per me, i think gaga has sung the song to it's fullest and it couldn't been more prolific if, was sung by any other artist. so my rating for the song is 10/10. The second single is "Judas", which sounds quite similar to gaga's previous works like "poker face" or "bad romance". the background vocals are similar and render the song as a dance song rather than being a singing song. moreover the rock element that gaga has congregated in the entire album has really helped the song build its momentum.My rating for the song is 9/10. The Third single" The edge of glory" takes a queue from both the two mentioned above ,in fact it seems to be a highlight of the album, prominently because of its chorus music and gaga's vocals are just exquisite. It is surely a dance-pop song and the latter part of the song with saxophone is my most favorite, i would say that it's even better than the entire album.This one really stands atop for me and i rate it at 10/10.After all these lead singles, the song that's garnered my applaud is "hair" because of its saxophone music which fills you with zeal and vigor. This song has been quite influenced by "Bruce Springsteen". Because of its self liberation message and common style of music, i give it 9/10."Marry the night", this one is not so good for me,this is a dance-pop song with electro pop beats and house music. the music of the song is inspired by american rock music, especially artists like Bruce Springsteen.,this song is more worth of dancing but not singing, according to me.so, i rate it at 8/10." Americano" is an average song for me, because its music doesn't impress on very first listening to it.My rating is 7/10.Rest all other songs "electric chapel, govt hooker,highway unicorn,bad kids,heavy metal lover,blood marry" deserve a rating of 8/10 from me. "you and I" is a nice song and i give it 9/10....so,overall the final verdict is that the album is imperative for pop/rock fans because of its high engraved rock elements. Gaga has used blasphemy and "Jesus" in many songs thus bringing some notoriety to its name but that has ultimately brought the album into limelight. The erratic sense of its music has garnered more shutterbugs over and over again. The album is full of electro pop and house music with deep rock elements, and gaga's voice is atop. so, this album should be bought and heard if you've not till now because it's worth listening to it.I think the album should win a grammy for best pop vocal album atleast, can't say anything about the album of the year,because there'll be a very close call between Gaga's "born this way" and adele's "21".
will write a review about "21" soon....
