While the entire team has a deep appreciation for Lady Gaga's talent as a musician and note her unique style, there's some differences of opinion on just how good the album is. Some of the highlights:

- Lady Gaga pushed many boundaries with her lyrics on this album.

- Her support for marginalized groups is clearly demonstrated on several tracks adopted as anthems by the LGBTQIA2s+ communities.

- Age/generation was an influence on how we enjoyed this album.
