I generally tend to like remix albums because they usually feature a lot of great dance/workout music. Lady Gaga’s Born This Way – The Remix is no exception.
I should probably start by saying I dislike Lady Gaga yet I do like her music. I can appreciate her need and want to be over the top but I think most of the time she’s ridiculous. For example, what the hell is going on on the album cover? That being said, she puts out one hit after another of music that is catchy and generally liked by all.
The Remix album features 14 of the 17 that are on the original Born This Way. Most of the tracks were given a techno treatment (Born This Way-Zedd Remix, Edge of Glory-Foster the People Remix & Sultan and Ned Shepard Remix, Black Jesus + Amen, Sheibe, Americano, and Judas-Hurts Remix) whereas others received an electro remix (You and I-Wild Beasts Remix, Marry the Night, Born This Way-Twin Shadow Remix), and some got a dark, sultry remix of sorts (Bloody Mary, Judas-Goldfrapp Remix, You and I-Metronomy Remix).
It’s a pretty good album in the sense that most of the remixes are either better or just as good as the original. There’s a few let downs in my opinion (Judas-Goldfrapp Remix, You and I-Metronomy Remix) but I’m sure even those tracks are liked by Gaga afficionados.
