Okay, so I might be a whole year late with this review but I figured that it’s <a title="An Early Lady Gaga – MTV’s The Seven Interview" href="http://www.pinstripemag.com/2011/01/an-early-lady-gaga-mtvs-the-seven-interview.html">Lady Gaga</a> and someone else would have eventually put up an article on it. Well, to be honest I think this album of hers just goes to show that we can expect the unexpected from her. I think that most of us have already seen her “Born This Way” album which already points obviously towards gay support and with this message I think she’s absolutely right. I mean guys, we’re living in 2011, and there’s really no need to feel uncomfortable in the company of a guy who doesn’t tap women. I mean, just because there’s a queer guy standing next to you, that doesn’t mean that he’s day dreaming about having sex with you (in all probability he’s thinking that you’re not his type). Ok, but getting back to <a title="Irina Shayk On The Cover Of Sports Illustrated" href="http://www.pinstripemag.com/2011/02/irina-shayk-on-the-cover-of-sports-illustrated.html">the cover</a> topic, “Born This Way” shows heavy influences from ‘80’s and ‘90’s pop. It is also influenced by heavy metal and opera music. Well let me just quote what most critics have to say about this album.

Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine stated, “There's nothing small about this album, and <a title="Lady Gaga’s Alejandro Music Video" href="http://www.pinstripemag.com/2010/06/lady-gagas-alejandro-music-video.html">Lady Gaga</a> sings the shit out of every single track. In many ways, Born This Way is akin to The Killers' sophomore effort, Sam's Town: bloated, self-important, proudly American, an exercise in extraordinary excess”

BBC Music called the album a “marvelous record” and commended Gaga for “actually putting a bit of effort and imagination back into pop.”

Spin wrote, “Excess is Gaga's riskiest musical gamble, but it's also her greatest weapon, and Born This Way relentlessly bludgeons listeners' pleasure centres”

Well, I don’t think I really need to say more, and if you’re still not convinced then watch her new video “Judas”
