Some people have been reviewing 'Born This Way'

  • May 18, 2011
  • Brad O'Mance

In the few hours since 'Born This Way' leaked online, there have been some reviews which are, as they say, mixed.

The Times: "Why does her music have to be so bad? Born This Way is the album equi­val­ent of a finely cooked meal with a load of tomato ketchup splurged all over it."

Bloomberg: "Sorry, this isn’t an insight­ful classic that will redefine music."

NME: "She wants to weld phys­ic­ally to her syn­thes­isers as if to create one all-powerful dread­nought of self-empower­ment."

Gigwise: "The Edge Of Glory's' throwaway chorus sounds like something Miley Cyrus could conjure up in five minutes."

The Guardian: "The thrilling paradox of Lady Gaga [is] that she can be the most exciting, con­found­ing and mind-bog­glingly creative artist on planet pop while still sounding like an early-90s Tampax advert."

The Telegraph: "Gaga goes over the top and keeps on going: exhil­ar­at­ing, exhaust­ing block­buster enter­tain­ment"

Overall: some people like it, some people do not. The latter people are wrong.
