Any Lady Gaga fans who are disappointed from Born This Way?

The Fame and The Fame Monster eras were amazing but I cannot help feel a bit disappointed with her new album. Surely it has a big production behind (RedOne, Brian May, Clarence Clemons, etc.) and it's good that she's trying new things but I feel like there is a lack of catchy and memorable tracks and sometimes it feels really excessive (think the first 33 seconds of GH). There are very good songs like HML, TEOG, Scheibe and Yo眉 And I but also some really bad songs like Americano which I absolutely hate. Plus I find all those religious references completely unnecesary. But what I really don't get about this era is the poor management, there have been sooo many mistakes. First, the awful album cover that makes you don't want to buy it. Then, the strange and sometimes disgusting video of BTW. Then the video of TEOG: a piece of crap that should have never existed, one of the best songs on the album with a emotional meaning ruined with a video horribly directed, boring as hell and her looking like a prostitute. I just don't get it. Also the release of Judas during Holy Week. What the hell were they thinking?? And now she announces the fifth single in only 8 months, what's the hurry?? I don't like comparisons but think about Katy Perry's Teenage Dream era, everything was in the right place: good timing, videos and single choices. I mean, Katy is no way near as talented as Gaga but she knew how to play her cards right. I hope Gaga's next album is fresh and with more classic Gaga tracks and with a better management, videos and singles choices. She needs to reinvent herself for the next album, even Adele which music is not very commercial is smashing in the year that was supposed to be Gaga's year.Any Lady Gaga fans who are disappointed from Born This Way?
Born This Way is my favorite album because it's like therapy to me the way I can relate to it. I'll be honest, I'm kind of neutral about her album artwork but it still sold 8 million copies making it more successful than The Fame Monster and I didn't like the video for Born This Way either. Not that I thought it was disgusting. It bored me. I think Americano is a beautiful song with a lot of heavy emotion. In my opinion, all the songs are really good except Black Jesus and most of the remixes on the bonus track album weren't needed... I think she could've released Hair as a single instead of Judas which flopped big time even though that's my personal favorite on the album. And Bloody Mary gives me goose pimples.Any Lady Gaga fans who are disappointed from Born This Way?
I liked it. I really really Disliked Judas though. There's not one good thing about that song. However, best live performance Ive ever seen besides The Flaming Lips.
