The songwriting is good, but they are produced in a way that made them age poorly. From today's perspective no only the title track but songs like Hair would have benefited from a more organic sound, but maybe that would have made them less apealeing back then Omg exactly .hair used to be my favourite song, i was completely hypnotized by it on first listen. Now i cant even make it through the first chorus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They keep the synths but everything else is done with live instruments and it sounds so good I'm glad I'm not cursed with this "it sounds aged" curse a lot of you have. All her music still sounds epic and fresh to me Exactly it sounds wayyy better live these days Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneaky Oliver 22,219 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Because the album was heavily influenced by 70s and 80s music. It was a style choice not a production flaw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franch Toast 26,910 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Both "Born This Way" and "Hair" sound better performed live (in my opinion). That said, the bigger problem I have with "Born This Way" (the song) is that lyrically, it's a bit too simplistic, and I know people who are offended by some of the wording she uses ("chola or orient-made"), and unfortunately, this undermines her message for some. It's also just lazy writing – in some cases, you can tell she was grappling to find rhyming words. She's capable of writing better lyrics. I find "Hair" to be a more empowering anthem, and several other songs on the album to have significantly more compelling lyrics. She/Her/Hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartz 12,535 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Maybe it wasn't the song that didn't age well. Maybe it's you and your taste that aged badly Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was anachronistic. It was an early 90s late 80s Eurodance album in 2011. Only Scheisse is what I would consider Eurodance. But you are right about the mid 80s to early 90s era that the album seems to be an ode to. There is alot of Bruce Springsteen, Whitney Houston, Queen, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Janet Jackson, TLC, En Vogue and Madonna in it. Glamorous and soulful metal-tech industrial funk pop.

Judas Society 3,584 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I can't agree because I am impartial to this song. This song saved me from further depression and madness due to inacceptance of my own sexuality. This song will always be the song that is important to me.

Taide 5,789 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Can't say anything about the song, but BTW album aged like the finest wine out there. It sounded nothing like anything mainstream back then and it still doesn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
