Moo 2,082 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Born This Way often gets a lot of stick, mainly from critics, for having a few "filler tracks". With the standard edition alone sitting at 14 tracks long, the album is at no risk of being too short. Imagine if the standard tracklist was just: 1. Marry The Night 2. Born This Way 3. Government Hooker 4. Judas 5. Americano 6. Hair 7. Scheiße 8. Bloody Mary 9. Heavy Metal Lover 10.You and I 11. The Edge of Glory Back to back slayage A 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11 punch album Bad Kids, Highway Unicorn and Electric Chapel would instead feature on the Bonus Track edition, so the fans don't miss out. What do you think? Spoiler I know some of you will ask "why shorten a masterpiece", but TFM is constantly lauded as Gaga's best album, mainly because there is not a single track worse than the last. If Born This Way had been edited a bit more, with a tighter tracklist, perhaps it could've shared that acclaim? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsches 17,443 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I agree, BTW is too long and it could have been much better and more impactful and cohesive if it was shorter. I think at the time Gaga tried to do anything to please her fans so she put as many songs as possible on the album. I like your 11 tracks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyliesChild 16,907 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 1. Marry The Night 2. Born this Way (even though it's a weak song its message is influential and important) 3. Government Hooker 4. Judas 5. Scheiße 6. Bloody Mary 7. Highway Unicorn (Road To Love) 8. Electric Chapel 9. You and I 10. The Queen 11. The Edge of Glory smh I only added some songs because there are parts that are great but the song as a whole is meh. I only added highway unicorn because of the "get your hot rods ready to rumble" part and the queen because of the beautiful bridge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creyk 17,829 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 It's good as it is and still the album of the decade if we ignore Lana's discography Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Surrealist 27,470 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 1. You and I 2. Hair 3. Government Hooker 4. Judas 5. The Queen 6. Scheiße 7. The Edge of Glory 8. Born This Way 9. Bloody Mary 10. Marry The Night Nothing more. Everything else is filler for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichAssPiss 4,952 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I really like this track list. I do think it would make the album tighter. Bad Kids and Highway Unicorn are fun for their raw nerve and strangeness but are not essential, or altogether successful. I might still add Electric Chapel after Heavy Metal Lover, just because it probably best sums up the 80's arena rock meets avant-garde techno sound of the whole album. I also really prefer the original, shorter track list for The Fame for similar reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some songs don't meet the idea of that concept and thus seem out of place and destroy the natural flow of the songs. This is what you call filler.
