Coprophagy is the new path to the future. I've realized it for a while now, and so has Lady Germanotta. The only difference is she immediately took advantage of it by rushing into the recording studio to fill hard drive upon hard drive with excrement to sell to the many shit eaters around the world and fatten her wallet. Entire generations of excrement gourmets rush into record stores and her concerts to say "Yes, I like Lady GaGa," waving the flag of social commitment of this big prick! I mean in the LGBT sense, don't get me wrong. She will certainly be the liberator from the oppression of the entire homosexual community on the planet. Are we sure? Or did she also see it coming there to sell some boxes full of shit in the form of CDs (nothing less than Piero Manzoni), and more tickets for a nice live banquet? You decide. I've already decided. I will not use the excuse of social commitment to say that I like this artistofmyboots. Because I don't like her.
Do we want to talk about this record? Fine. I'll be objective. Our GENIUSMUSICALNEWQUEENOFTHEPOP decides to open the dances by digging somewhere for some '90s eurodance records from Corona (except "The Rhythm Of The Night" had more class in the field) and singing some nonsense on it, thus packaging "Marry The Night", but it's classless and anachronistic, in the truly bad sense of the word, and I wouldn't dance to it even if paid. To show that she knows music, as many insist on saying, she warbles on "Government Hooker", provoking hearty laughter from me. And hives. She tries again with dance with "Judas" (the first time I read this title I was afraid it was a cover of the Depeche Mode song; if it had been, I would have thrown the shit at her), transgression comes from the Bible, and who has ever done that? She loves Judas, watch out, and she tells us with an inconsistent and sleazy base, a horrid melody of fake synths. But then she's fixated on eurodance, I say to myself, because she attempts a mix of Falco and the Scooter with "Scheibe", poorly done and irritating. The peak of ugliness is reached with the '80s electric guitars of "Electric Chapel", and her voice and guitar melody at some points lifted from the Cardigans, thinking their "My Favorite Game" didn't air much on MTV and we wouldn't notice, don't worry, it's all good, we didn't notice. We're at the end, and I've left out some shit, and "The Edge Of Glory", which I read in other reviews as the song that saved the album, seems to me the umpteenth attempt to return to '90s nightclubs in a bad way, without style, and with much arrogance.
I will not sum up this record, but rather I will flush the toilet. Goodbye Lady Gaga. Bon voyage.
(I'll go back to my wall-shattering guitars)

Born This Way, already monumental to the Little Monsters, picks up where its predecessor left off: the obsessive celebration of the anti-hero and social emancipation.
The electro-rock, chaotic, raw, dirty, distorted almost completely replaces the tacky superficiality of the current Dance scene.
By WatchMoreTv
'Born This Way' is simply a self-celebrating, pompous, and decidedly tasteless album.
Judas might be the only appreciable track, it recalls a bit Gaga’s style from a few years ago.

I wish I hadn’t! Damn me for wasting time listening to this rubbish!
Useless songs all identical to one another, with the same structure and rhythm, and above all, headless and tailless.
By Outrageous
"An album so IDIOTIC that the artist was ASHAMED to put her own name on it."
"One song is truly beautiful. It is The Edge of Glory. But with a horrible music video, Gaga managed to ruin the only decent song, CONGRATULATIONS!!!"
By Loperamide
Lady Gaga is a progressive force; an antidote to corruption, justice that no longer rests on a mere code but elevates itself.
Born this way opens the doors of the future for us. If you have a shred of courage left, climb on board towards the new world.
