Jesse Pinkman 4,660 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I mean, a 71? It should definitely be higher imo. For one, she wrote and co-produced every single song on the album. I mean, how many mainstream artists can say they've done that these days? Secondly, each song has a powerful and unique message. I'll admit that there are some less than stellar songs on the album, but majority of the songs are thought provoking and enjoyable. Thirdly, its so diverse and yet cohesive. Gaga addresses s-xuality, love, death, religion, feminisim, immigration and more. Despite the wildly diverse span of topics, it still sounds consistent. Lastly, it features some of her best vocal work to date. Her vocal genre spans from pop, opera, and to even metal. Why is her score so low? I feel that it should at least be a 75.. Some albums that don't contain nearly as much as I have pointed out have scored higher. It's science, bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LePetitGAGABLover 21,234 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I agree. Born This Way is sonically a masterpiece. Even the instrumentals can stand by themselves without any vocals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylvanas 5,768 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Blame the reviewer who gave it a 0 to make an artistic statement or something "Who are we, if not slaves to this torment?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 97,780 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Pop music isn't taken seriously by critics, I advise you to get over it If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokyo Rose 1,475 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 It's an album that transcends scoring systems imo.Not because it's perfect (which it is), but because it's so hilariously over-the-top that you look dumb trying to objectively critique it.

Jesse Pinkman 4,660 Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 while worse albums get so much higher Exactly. Like 1989 is a decent album and she does write all of her music, but I just can't comprehend a world where 1989 gets a 76 and BTW a 71...

Harry 26,836 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Yes, I think it deserved a lot more. But sadly many reviewers are bias against pop albums in general. That unfair 0 review probably had a lot to do with it as well.However I entirely disagree with the notion that the lead artist writing/producing anything on an album should contribute to the critical reception of it.

Mister Gaga 22,825 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Exactly. Like 1989 is a decent album and she does write all of her music, but I just can't comprehend a world where 1989 gets a 76 and BTW a 71...Because Gaga is polarizing (in her words, she put the world uncomfortable), and she touches controversial themes in her music and life in general (adictions, rape, fame, LGBT, religion), which, sometimes, turned people away from her. Taylor plays safe, she would never talk about those things. See what her music is about... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
