I know you don't all feel the same way

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

... but I totally fucking love "Judas".

[Suu]

...and I totally love "Edge of Glory".

[Eater of Clowns]

I like Judas.  I don't like Edge of Glory.  I'm still not big on Born This Way.  Pretty unenthusiastic about the whole album, actually, so I'm glad I only payed $.99 for it.

[East Coast Hustle]

I like Judas, but not much of what else I've heard from the new album so far.

on the other hand, she's the only person in history who could put out a crappy pop album after that much hype and have me say things like "well I don't personally dig where she went with this one musically, but I totally respect what she's doing artistically" with a straight face.

On the other other hand, I think working at the gay bar has made it subconsciously impossible for me to actually actively dislike anything she does.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I haven't really listened to "Edge of Glory" enough but I am FUCKING OBSESSED with "Hair".

It's one of those things where the more times I listen the more aware I become of her acute and subtle commentary.

[Fredfredly ⊂(◉‿◉)つ]

i hate judas and edge of glory but born this way has grown on me.
im just really sick of her...

[Suu]

Edge of Glory reminds me of late 80s pop, and that's the approach she took with the video too.

[President Television]

Born This Way is awesome.
I can't stand Edge of Glory, though.

[Laughin Jude]

Am I getting that there's a new Lady Gaga album out?

I know who she is, and I've heard her music, but I actively avoid celebrity gossip/who's famous/whatever stuff so I have no idea.

[East Coast Hustle]

Actively avoiding it is just giving it more power.

You have to be conversationally fluent in pop culture while at the same time totally not actually giving a shit about it.

[Cain]

At first, I was closer to EoC's position.

However, after playing it on endless loop for 72 hours straight, I have come around to the position that, for pop, it's a pretty decent album.  Its not really like The Fame Monster, and that will probably piss a few people off, but on it's own merits it's alright.

[P3nT4gR4m]

LGG is trite, disposable, ovehyped, bubblegum shite. ie. the same as damn near everything else in the fucking pop charts. There I've said it

[Cuddlefish]

Born This Way-Not so good.

Judas-s'ok

Govt. Hooker-That's the jam. Where my Hooka's at? 

[East Coast Hustle]

One thing that shouldn't be overlooked is how much of an impact she's had in "mainstreaming" homosexuality (even though, as far as I know, she herself is straight). And she deserves alot of credit for it because it is an intentional thing on her part. Love her music or hate it, you can't say that it's not really awesome that she's inspiring a whole generation of kids to grow up feeling like it's OK for them to be who they are and still love themselves. And that she's opening a whole lot of older peoples' minds about the subject, or at the very least forcing them to confront their own prejudices.

[East Coast Hustle]

I mean, show me where Ke$ha or Katy Perry have done anything like that.
