I'm all for Schiesse getting out there. These 'lighter' tracks (TEOG/Y&I/MTN) are great and more obviously radio-friendly, but I'm really feeling the absence of something heavier like GH/HML/Schiesse.
edit: No shade though. The Edge of Glory is a wonderful song.

Like I predicted, SOFY has been stuck in my head. I love that it's such a mess.

The Edge of Glory is a wonderful song. Being Clarence Clemons' last saxophone solo recorded before he died, ever, that song is a big, big, big deal to me. I've been a Bruce Springsteen & E Street Band fan ever since I was a little kid. To have him play on a Gaga song (2, in fact) made me cry, almost.

Listening to them now, I do think The Fame Monster/Bad Romance will remain her most popular/highly regarded for some time to come.
Just because their best moments were such a step up from what preceded them (Gaga = Poker Face for a good few months, then BR came along and pretty much had the same setup as Poker Face... but better). That and they were essentially released at the peak of her popularity. You can't beat that.

I like the cover!
Did she tweet a MP3 link for the song? I'd like to download an "official" rip. Not one that someone ripped from a youtube video or something.

I love how fans can make an album cover better than the originals. :) That 'Reborn This Way' cover art is very good.

Song = her being a pisshead on a tour bus, but she didn't have to release anything so I guess it's cool. LOVE the cover for it.

I still love the song Judas. It is my favorite song and one of my fave videos. I really don't know why it wasn't a bigger hit. And, Heavy Metal Lover is great. I can't wait for her to tour. I am going!

EDIT: Thank you! I saw you already posted it. :)

RTL is an awesome tour title! I'm surely gonna see her whenever she performs either in DC or somewhere nearby. I saw her at the Radio City Music Hall a year ago and it was a really good concert including the first part with the crazy Virgin-mobile picture taking As others have said, I LOVE Highway Unicorn and think it's underappreciated. I love its epicness, sort of a late 70s, early 80s rock-pop anthem with a slightly convoluted musical structure. It would be great to start the show with it. I can understand that it would sound too different/dated for radio, so it should remain an album track, but to me it's a gem!

Born This Way as an album in general, is underappreciated. I love the late 80s - early 90s sound that she delivered, songs like Hair, Highway Unicorn, Marry The Night and The Edge of Glory really remind me of the music I used to listen to on the radio as a child, when pop music was at its prime.

Sorry. I'll get to them once I can sit down and gather them. (unless someone knows them off by heart?) I'll want to post all the Mediabase peaks for the formats she's charted at, Hot 100 peaks, sales numbers, awards. What else? Honestly, I'm waiting for some fun big announcement from her soon. I'm not expecting one but I wanted one.

What kind of announcement? Like relating to her tour, or a new album/EP?

I'm more interested in hearing an announcement about an album/EP. Even if it's just a title or something.

I was just listing those as examples, not making you choose between the two. But the first post info is all good, just poking fun :)

Well, if someone knows some of the info offhand or can direct me to where I can easily find it. Perhaps I'll raid wikipedia.
Meanwhile, I now own this album.... 4 times.
The regular, the 2-disc version, the vinyl and a digipack copy that came with The Collection.
My bf, who I live with, also has the regular, the 2-disc version, the vinyl and the special 9-vinyl version that could only be ordered through her website, which also came with a digital download.
That's right, 9 copies!!
*like this post*

I gifted the album on Amazon at least twice, bought it on iTunes, and bought The Collection
What pissed me off is that I expected the explicit version of Born This Way on The Collection. I mean, only diehards are gonna buy something like that anyways. 4 copies in and I still don't have an explicit version? Not pleased.

I would totally buy the explicit version. I bought TF and TFM separately solely so it would be explicit. "I'm a free bit" sucks. Heard the -ch just now But why is there no explicit version yet? TFM was censored at first, then eventually got explicit, correct?
