LOVE IT. I wasn't at first a huge fan of hers or THE FAME but it certainly grew on me over time. This album is miles better, it really is, and I much prefer the darker Gaga. "Bad Romance" and "Speechless" are the best songs she has written in my opinion, and I really like "Alejandro" and "Monster". "Telephone" sounds like a "Pokerface" sized smash hit, as well. Go, Gaga, go!

Anyway, you can now purchase the MP3s a few weeks early from this site.

Oh, and the whole album will be streaming for free on MTV.com starting Monday night at midnight.

"Teeth", "Telephone", and "Dance in the Dark" are my favorites but I love every song.

I didn't like The Fame because I thought it was four really great singles and a bunch of filler. This CD flows better.

Or, you know, support your local independent music retailer.

This album is really quite strong.

Each song has it's own personality, and although it may lack coherency sometimes...you forgive that because each track is a potential hit, and relates in it's own way to the 'Monster' inspiration.

Bad Romance - I'm sure most of us have heard it by now. Sets the darker tone well, and that video is immense.

Alejandro - Catchy chorus, sexy Latin feel, sold.

Monster - Awesome. Another excellent pop track, hit single potential.

Speechless - A mix of Queen, 'Imagine' and her previous rock/pop/ballad efforts. I read a review that said 'this sounds exactly how a GaGa ballad should sound', I agree. It has personality, quirk, nostalgia, catchy lyrics and melody, whilst showing off her voice.

Dance In The Dark - Epic. Probably my favoruite. Can't wait for the video.

Telephone - Most mainstream and 'Americanized' track. It's kind of what direction Britney has gone, but GaGa does it right. Beyonce's appearance adds a lot to the song, and will no doubt aid it hitting the top spot. Don't feel it goes that well with this new GaGa era, more kind of an inbetween 'The Fame' and now.

So Happy I Could Die - Solid, catchy, mid tempo electro pop...but has that GaGa element which prevents it from being generic and tired.

Teeth - Pretty different from what we've heard from her, but at the same time reminds me of her pre-Fame days. Thumping R&B march song with a touch of Motown I feel, has a bit of Christina Aguilera to it I think.

Say what you want about GaGa, but you can't deny that she knows how to write a damn good pop song or 8. Definitely no filler here, and can't wait to see her perform these new tracks along with her previous fantastic efforts. Congrats GaGa, you did it again!

Namo, as I said in my original post, it isn't released in stores or itunes for another few weeks. If you want to wait until then, then it's great to purchase from your local retailer (I usually do, too) but for the next week or two this is the only way to get it legally.

I love her so much. She IS the next Madonna.

I agree she's the next Madonna, and I'll say (as a huge Madonna fan) that with that voice and music skills, she's even more brilliant.

That's not particularly going out on a limb. That truth is self-evident.

I can't wait for the physical CD release! I've become kinda fascinated by Gaga and I've been waiting for this special edition to come out (instead of just buying the standard The Fame CD).
