Casual GaGa fan here. Can't say I'm terribly impressed with the newest album but it's not like the other releases are that consistent. All the different sounds don't work for me, the best tracks tend to be the ones she isn't trying to hard, the best being Judas, Electric Chapel, and Hair which feel more organic. The later being the first "anthem" she's successfully pulled off. Why they choose to promote the super bland Born This Way over that I'll never know.
