Marry the Night
I do not like the instrumental to it, it just kills it for me, I like the end though. I don't think it will ever grow on me, disliked it before, dislike it now. I think her singing this live would be amazing though. I was flat out disappointed in this song
1.5/5
Born This Way
It's a good song to dance to. I especially love her live performances of this song as well which made me love it even more. love the lyric : Don't be a
drag just be a
queen! It was super hyped but what can you do?
3.5/5
Government Hooker
Such a killer hook! I love the heavy industrially kind of beats I like that she experimented with her voice here as well.
3.5/5
Judas
I think everyone was a bit hard on this song because it had so much to live up to, with that being said, I think this song is AMAZING. It's like a platinum plated Bad Romance, although I wish the ending vocals that were more stressed were more stronger then the chorus (if that makes any sense)
4.5/5
Americano
I was not expecting the song to sound like this at all, and I think it's great! I love her stylized voice here as well as the hook
3/5
Hair
At first I thought this song was bland, the lyrics seemed to me to be a bit "pushed". But I absolutely love it to PIECES, i'm in love with this song, I think it would be a better anthem then Born This Way in the sense of empowerment.
4/5
Scheibe
This has to be single. From the verse to the chorus and hooks, everything is extremely catchy. +1 chinchilla points making a song called " s _ _ _".
4/5
Bloody Mary
I absolutely love this subdued track, it's very intriguing , feels like an extension of Judas to me. The haunting "GAAA GAAAA" chants juxtaposed with her voice is just awesome. I EFFING love the dum dum da da da.
4/5
Black Jesus Amen Fashion *BONUS TRACK*
I really love the beginning
"I grew up in New York city, since I was born on broadway babyyy" I'm not really a fan of the chorus though. Other songs overshadow this 2/5
Bad Kids
Overall the song is unapologetic and I think it's great. But just like Black Jesus it drowns compared to the other songs.
2.5/5
Fashion of his Love *BONUS TRACK*
This is my songgggggggg, a tribute to late designer Alexander Mcqueen (RIP). I ABSO-PINEAPPLE-LUTELY love the retro feel to it. Her Vocals are clear and perfect. I was also surprised/ecstatic to hear her reuse a verse (1:38-1:50) from her demos (
2:27)in this song.
4/5
Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)
I feel the same way about this just like Black Jesus/Bad Kids. Although I think there's to much going on sonically.
2/5
Heavy Metal Lover
Just like the other 4 songs... I felt the same, but the "oohoooohhh" part SAVED IT for me, and because of it I love this song A LOT.
4/5
Electric Chapel
The moment I heard the instrumental from gagavision I knew I would fall in love with this song, and it was
almost everything I had hoped it would be. The only thing I had hoped for, was a killer thrashing chorus but because the song overall has a sort of lukewarm feel, I think the song overall does a good job
3.5/5
The Queen *BONUS TRACK*
Just like Fashion of His Love, I enjoy the retro-ness of it, The best part of this track is after the guitar breakdown, where she BELTS and shows her vocal chops. I wither!! amazing!
4/5
You and I
After hearing the live version countless times, I would have to say the live version of this song is better.
2.5/5
Edge of Glory
I think this is an amazing song, that seems to paint a visual masterpiece in my mind while listening to it. The integration of the sax is amazing. I got sick of it though
4/5
