Amazing

Jay on 21.05.2011

I write this review with the notion in my mind, that as a pop album, I am comparing this to the previous pop albums of the year, and of course the decade. Gaga's album is by no means the "album of the decade", and does not, in some manners, even come close. What the album does do, however, is give the listener a new experience when it comes to what to expect from mainstream music. Born This Way is far superior to any of the pop offerings of 2010 and 2009, and has some standout tracks - particularly Scheisse, Government Hooker, Americano and The Edge of Glory - and changes our expectations of what standard pop music should be at.
