True.
Even if I don't want this service at present, I am just gonna buy this album to get access to 20GB space. I think its a steal.

True.

Where's the UK deal?
The album is £3.99 on Amazon UK and the Cloud Drive Storage is currently only available to US customers.
Unless Amazon is not available where one lives...plus I thought aac > MP3?
anyway, don't get this cloud storage bit-why should I be at the mercy of data caps or clear reception to listen to my music?
As for Lady Gaga-she's ok but don't have any of her music-but won't turn it off if it comes on the radio either.
Dropbox is great. I have been using it for years.
But disparity to Non-US is quite atrocious. :|
LOL... and you don't think this is not a push with the label? The label wants to push Gaga thru the roof and Amazon is interested pushing their own service so they both benefit.
Thank.You.
I am surprised how naieve some of gaga's little monsters are, this is the oldest trick in the book except it is much easier in the digital download era.
Tell me how many COPIES will her fans buy?
Sony pushed countless Mariah Carey records in the 90s that way. In the time physical singles were sold for $3, Mariah's would be 49 cents. And guess who's the artists with the greatest number 1 hits? You guessed it, Mariah Carey!
I wouldn't listen to her album if you put a gun to my head....
Born this way? What? A talentless, music industry creation du jour?

Dont buy it then? No one cares...and if she is so talentless, why aren't you a millionaire??
I bought the album and gifted it to a few friends. Great deal!!
Anyone saying she isn't a musician doesn't know what they are talking about. She rights everything. She always sings live. She has an amazing voice. Checkout her song THE EDGE OF GLORY or YOU AND I and you will see how great her voice is. She is the true package and not manufactured.
I guess that's what you get when old people learn how to use a Mac and read macrumors.....uninformed opinions.

There is no musicianship behind pop music. Period.
Comparing Lady Gaga to some of the greatest musicians who ever lived is like trying to compare a children's book to a novel.
Sure, a children's book might sell millions of copies. Sure, the author is technically an author.
But a children's book doesn't stack up to a Stephen King novel when you're talking about intricate masterpieces.
Gaga's music is the same old, machine processed garbage.
She wrote it. Good for her. Doesn't make her music unique, intricate, or interesting.
Anyone who likes Gaga or most pop music in general is a zombie.
Well she is involved in the writing aspect, but trust me she has stables of writers working for her at this stage. That is okay and is part of the business especially when there is money to be made touring and doing appearances.
She does however have a good voice, especially if we grade it on the pop singer scale. I think even her harshest critics will agree that it wasn't her looks that got her plucked from relative obscurity singing for a rock band in some dive bar. She has pipes! And if you like 4/4 Euro Disco Dance Music Pop, then you should like her stuff as well.
My point exactly. Fans will buy multiple copies , even more now that it's a bargain
She is a great musician, and she is extremely talented, but let's not get carried away. Sings live everytime? Her backing track did most of the work for her Judas perforamnce on SNL (though I have to say the Edge of Glory piano solo was fantastic). I would have been a bigger fan if she drops the Halloween act and actually sings.
Good, dont like her then go away. Simple fact she is now a millionaire, are you?
This is great, album was pretty good plus 20gb free for a year all for $.99! Now hopefully Amazon will get an app out for the iPhone so I can have it all on the cloud
Unfortunately there's 0 chance Apple would ever approve it. I have it on my Evo 4G and have to say it is really fantastic. Amazon has done a great job with it so far and it's all still just begun.
Well I can honestly say I'm not big on the whole Amazon system. I could only download half the album yesterday and now I find today that the link has expired and I have to contact Amazon to download the rest.
Thanks but no thanks Amazon : / (It would be no issue if I could log in somewhere to get a new download link but I hate having to contact customer support).

A millionaire due to millions of people with ****ty taste in music wasting their money on her albums and concert tickets.
Being a millionaire doesn't automatically make one an admirable person, nor does it have anything to do with the quality of the music.
There shouldn't be a link that can expire--that was the whole point of the cloud player. Your album should be in your digital storage locker and you can download it at will.
The Beatles were also once considered talentless and disposable pop music as well, the equivalent of today's "boy bands". Are you gonna call them "garbage" as well?
Are you comparing Lady Gaga to the Beatles right now? Seriously?
You do realize that the only reason that was true was because the music of that era was so much better than the music of today, right?
Imagine that. THE BEATLES were considered talentless hacks in the 70's.
What does that make Lady Gaga today? Is there even a word that's derogatory enough to describe her "music?"
