4.0 out of 5 stars Somebody's Been Listening To Old Springsteen Records.... December 11, 2011

By Charles Senescall

If you want my opinion, the idea that this was held back for use as a FIFTH single is INSANE. A much stronger track than anything previously dropped to radio (from Born This Way, I mean here), MARRY sounds more like something from The Fame -- this sounds like a Springsteen-Jovi combo that got written on keys (instead of guitar -- note that the track is in C Major throughout) and kept slow (is this thing really only clocked at 64 BPM...?!!) -- this strikes me as an old Pat Benatar tune that might have been re-made by Donna Summer. It's all kinds of massive; the record EXPLODES from your speakers.

I swear I hear a vox double just beneath the top vocal here; if you listen, you can barely discern a second vocal track that Gaga recorded into the red. This sounds, to me, as if it were then re-mixed in such a way that the two vox tracks are melded together. The buzzy, almost-in-the-red synth contrasts nicely with the church bells, although the funk breakdown going into the final earworm-shove strikes me as being of utterly no value whatsoever (I'll be the first to admit here that I have no better idea(s) for the break -- a guitar/sax solo simply doesn't fit, here). Gaga does hit a legit & clean E5 in MARRY; I think it's time to admit that Gaga actually does have a voice... I honestly suspect that one day, she's gonna release something with a MAJOR display of vocal power; I'm kinda curious if she's been sitting on a powder-keg of vocal force that she intends to shock everybody with (at some point). That would be cool to see; doing it live is the obvious crux.

I'm gonna say once again here that MARRY really should have been the lead-off single, dropped directly to radio before the release of the album -- and then I'm going to shut-up about it. It's an exceptionally strong record that I actually don't hear a ton of ringtones within (re-mix potential here is huge, of course); what we have here is simply a song, that, to me, sounds as if it came straight out of 1977; perhaps a throw-away from Pat Benatar that got dug out of the Jovi vault and wound-up being re-made by some old random disco queen. Bonnie Tyler could have done this 30-odd years ago, you know it...?

Yeah.

4 stars.

A solid effort.

This song is amazing. The fact that it's only 50 cents makes it ever better! Go, Gaga! Keep it up with your smash hits!
