Lady Gaga Born This Way [International Edition]

4 stars out of 5 -- "BORN THIS WAY is her Eighties arena-rock move, going for maximum goth Catholic bombast....BORN THIS WAY has all the electro-sleaze beats and Euro-disco chants that made her the Fame Monster."
Ranked #6 in Rolling Stone's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "BORN THIS WAY saw the dance-pop queen embrace homegrown Eighties schlock pop and Springsteenian romanticism."
Ranked #29 in Spin's 'The Top 40 Albums Of 2011' -- "BORN THIS WAY delivers a message that old glamazon Pete Seeger could dig: She thinks pop can still move policy, and she might be right."
"She brings expert songcraft to each cut -- tectonic chord changes, soaring choruses, and that sawtooth-edged voice..." -- Grade: B+
3 stars out of 5 -- "Third single 'The Edge Of Glory' makes for a fitting crescendo, giving full vent to Gaga's torrential tonsils..."
