CD Reviews
WHY is it edited?!
Blood-and-guts Murphy | CA | 11/24/2009

"There was no mention either on Amazon or on the CD case that this album was edited/censored! "Bitc*" just doesn't sound natural as "bit." Period. If the record companies are going to continue to censor albums that I shelled out my hard-earned money for, I will have no qualms nor any feeling of emotional turmoil or moral dilemma downloading uncensored bootlegged versions for free instead and keeping my cash. Record/releasing companies: Release the unedited album now and at no additional cost to those of us who already bought this censored garbage!"
Edited? Really?

"I am shocked that Lady GaGa would allow her label to put out these terrible censored version of her songs. Although the songs are great, do support this album until a proper version is released. It is NOT amazon's fault, it is the record label. (although perhaps amazon should indicate the songs are edited to avoid any confusion or anger) This is the only version available. DO NOT BUY this unless you want one of those ridiculous sounding edited albums that Wal-Mart is always selling. FREEDOM OF SPEECH. LOOK IT UP! IT'S IN THE THING."

"The lyrics are censored on this version even with the [Explicit] tag on the music.
Waste of money."
Uncensored Songs in December

"Yes, this CD is edited, but the unedited version will be released online in December. I've gone through many of the different blogs and it looks like GaGa had a slight disagreement with the record company who wanted the songs to be censored. Don't worry, the uncensored versions of all of these awesome songs will be released soon enough. Personally, I think the music is awesome either way. A great album."
