Love what popjustice wrote about in the end of the year album list about Born This Way
Quote:
An artist whose next album wasn't on course for multiplatinum success regardless of its contents would probably have felt the full force of a major label A&R man's conservative intervention. To an artist whose future was uncertain, the man at the label would have said, 'don't use these pretty inexperienced producers for the bulk of the album'. They would have said, 'do you know what, that whole gay thing for the first single isn't quite right, perhaps it could be a bonus track in Belgium'. They would have said, 'there is too much happening here. You have too many ideas. Take some ideas out'. But Gaga wanted to get that hat in the car and, because she seemed like the biggest popstar in the world, nobody wanted to stop her.
Thank **** for that. This is a phenomenal album. 'The Fame' was the sound of a new, attention-hungry singer trying to please anyone; 'Born This Way' was Gaga trying to please everyone, but its desire to tick boxes in some songs is countered by rampant unselfconsciousness in others.
Forget when I called the album bad or avarage I saw the light and I have to say it is perfect I even like the bonus tracks and my most hated track (Americano) has become my favourite. the only mistake is the blue wig
Even if MTN will be a radio hit it will still lack the digital power! The good thing is that people buy the album instead cause they have heard previous singles and they think "what the heck I am buying her work as a whole". It started showing signs of rebounding before the discount. Some consider that she should end this era after MTN. I disagree thoroughly. Interscope should milk this album even if some of the next singles don't make the top10. They might find the hidden gem for the general public. Also I disagree for Scheiβe being a single right after MTN. It's too "loud" and while it might be a fan-favourite it still annoys the crap out of me. The safest choice is "hair" right now or even HML.

"Americano" became one of my favs in the first listen. From the message, to the mariachi.
But I agree, some of the bonus tracks need a few spins to get into. (which I don't think is a bad thing at all)
