The song is horrible! It's actually worse than Born This Way, something I thought would be impossible.

Judas is smashing on the radio. I won't be surprised if tomorrow airplay is 10 million.

I prefer it to Born This Way, but something about the hype for it before hand and the hype for her in general is infecting everything. 'I took the cover picture with MY OWN phone with my OWN holy Gaga fingers'...like others said, it has a feel about trying too hard, a retread, a lack of focus.
When really it's just a very simple tune that sounds a bit like Bad Romance with some wacky production and sensationalist religious lyrics. It's like she's checking off her list of 'buzz subjects' to exploit. Religion - check, media - check, sexuality - check. She's gonna do one about war, one about natural disasters (something like "Tyyiiyiyiiiyiiied, TyyiiyiyGAGAiiiyiiied, you're the tied that sweeps me away".) etc. etc. until she's squeezed every controversial or lucrative subject going. I have to hand it to her, she's a genius at monetizing these polarizing issues, but calling it art or groundbreaking it is a bit hard to swallow for me.

This may very well be her best single. Main Points: 1 The "Judah-Ju-Dah-Ah" Battle Cry is pure blissful catchy ear candy. 2 The chord progression in the verses is f-ing SICK. She wasn't exaggerating when she used the adjective 'sledge-hammering'. It literally sounds like its going to kick your @ss. 3 Her Caribbean-esque accent gives the song an extra funky oomph. Something like a vocal riddim? It's HOT. 4 The chorus is strange due to it's lax nature compared to the rest of the song, the 'dated' sound it gives off, and the poppy key change to the relative major. This will be the biggest problem for most people, but most of them will learn to love it. 5 Like a previous poster said, it's odd sounding because we are in a Dr. Luke dominated pop world with monstrous choruses and quiet verses. This is the exact opposite. I happen to love it. 6 The breakdown is amazing. Not as memorable as Britney's HIAM, but still, a sick breakdown. 7 The religious theme is just icing on the cake. I love it. 9/10.

After a number of listens, I think this is one of her best singles to date.

I think I LOVE it. Something about it, I don't know what it is but it sounds epic. I love her voice on this and the way she says certain words.

I hear TONS of "Bad Romance" elements in this.
Aside from the killer verses, this song is annoying. (The Juda-Juda-ah-ah-Juda-Judas-gaga part gets on my nerves quickly and sounds like a poor attempt to redo "Bad Romance.") The bridge is creepy.
All this being said, this is much better than "Born This Way."

Breakdown at the end is my favorite part. I love when she says "prostitute wench".

Very chaotic, and not as instant as BTW was for me, but I really like it, and after 5-10 listens I'll probably be hooked!

This song is definitely in my top 3 favorite GaGa songs.. Right now, I rank it 3rd.. after "Poker Face" and "The Fame". It could definitely rise to number 1.. I need to listen to it more.
The "oohhhh I'm in love with Judas" part is ear porn.
