On the cover of the current issue of V magazine, Lady Gaga can be seen sporting three heads, a symbolic gesture to the many facets of her personality. But after listening to her brand-new Born This Way album, you'll quickly realize that the V cover is a bit of an understatement: three heads are clearly not enough.
On Born This Way, (which premiered in full on the website of U.K.'s Metro newspaper early Wednesday morning, for U.K. users only, and also leaked online), Gaga proves that she is one of the most multifaceted pop stars on the planet. She takes on roughly 750 different personas on the album — throughout the course of 14 songs, she professes to be "a warrior queen," "a soldier," "a winner" (and, later on, "a loser"), "a selfish punk," "a bad kid" and "a degenerate young rebel" (and proud of it), to name just a few. She is also a messiah, an idol, a down-and-dirty homegirl, a lonely girlfriend, a mother, a martyr, a prostitute and a mother superior. Shoot, she even speaks German and Spanish.
Perhaps she sums it up best on the sumptuously dirty "Government Hooker," when she proclaims, quite matter-of-factly, "I could be anything. I could be everything."
That quote is a pretty apt way to sum up Born This Way's entire mission statement: It tries very hard to be everything to everyone. From the piston-pumping electronics of "Marry the Night" and the tarantula tango of "Americano" to the twitching, "Transformers"-large techno of "Heavy Metal Lover" and the Queen-sized balladry of "You and I" (featuring the one-and-only Brian May on guitar) and "The Edge of Glory" (featuring the one-and-only Clarence Clemons on sax), there truly isn't a genre she doesn't attempt to cram onto the disc.
And believe it or not, it all works. This is definitely a long player (the shortest song clocks in at a hair under four minutes), but an album this full of songs and ideas should take all the space (and time) it needs. It is epic. It is excellent. It is exactly the kind of album you'd expect the hugest pop star on the planet to make.
But above all, Born This Way succeeds because it is almost always interesting. Politics aside, this is a sonic smorgasbord, packed with forward-thinking rhythms (the eternally building strut of "Schiße," the icy synths of "Bloody Mary," the gnarly electro-guitars of "Bad Kids," the pulsing pump of "Heavy Metal Lover") that make it the most compelling pop album in recent memory. Even at its most indulgent, it's still undeniably real. You get the feeing that there truly isn't as much as a keytar squiggle that Gaga didn't obsess over ... for all the big names that worked on it, and all the all-star cameos it features, Born This Way is, at its core, a handmade thing. A labor of love.
While I'm still ingesting the majority of it, my first impression is this: Born This Way is a great, unapologetically huge album. It is brave and bold and even a little silly at times, but Gaga pulls it all off flawlessly. You will dance to it and take it to the bedroom; you will probably cry and sing along to it, too. It is everything to everyone.
Catch an exclusive teaser trailer for "Lady Gaga: Inside the Outside" on Thursday at 10:58 p.m. ET/PT on MTV, after a new episode of "Randy Jackson Presents: America's Best Dance Crew."

Gearing up for some mid-week travel, Kate Moss and hubby Jaime Hince made their way to an awaiting plane at the Bourget airport in Paris, France earlier today (May 18>
The pair, who had just checked out of their posh room at the Hotel Ritz, both sported big sunglasses and fashionable blazers as they readied themselves for takeoff.
The effortlessly stunning supermodel recently talked to the "Daily Telegraph" about one day being honored for her contributions to the world of fashion, revealing, "Liz Taylor's an icon, I'm just normal. A dame's for old women like Margaret Thatcher, I'm too young - I'd prefer to be a baroness."
Moss added, "I'd quite like to be Lady Kate. But I'm happy just as I am."

Cameron Crowe-directed retrospective set to premiere in September.

On October 22, 1990, Mookie Blaylock played their first official show at the Off Ramp Cafe in Seattle. Rock historians would come to imbue this event with understandable import: After all, Mookie Blaylock would go on to become Pearl Jam, one of the most important rock outfits of the past two decades. And now, with the 20th anniversary of that debut show on the horizon, the members of Pearl Jam are looking back for the first time in their careers — and they still can't believe they've made it this far.
Luckily, they've got Cameron Crowe to help them remember their journey from Seattle mid-carders to one of the biggest acts on the planet. He's directed a documentary called, appropriately enough, "Pearl Jam Twenty," that culls through more than 1,200 hours of rare footage — plus 24 hours of recently shot interviews — to provide a definitive look at the band's legendary career.
The film is reportedly set to premiere in September — though, on Monday, PBS announced it would broadcast it in October as part of its "American Masters" series — meaning that, at long last, guitarist Mike McCready, one of Pearl Jam's founding members, is being forced to come to terms with his band's own mortality.
"Yeah, it all went very quickly," he said, laughing. "There were many highs and lows throughout our career, and many arcs of creativity [and] tragedies ... that run the whole gamut of human emotions, being in this. From being in a band with guys for 20 years, and having fights and making up, and being brothers in a way, looking out for each other."
And part of what appeals to McCready about Crowe's film is that it somehow manages to tie all of those things together into one cohesive and comprehensive work — one that had even the longtime guitarist getting a bit nostalgic.
"When I saw the early ... edits of it, I thought it was very interesting and kind of exciting and, like I said, it runs the gamut of all those emotions," he explained. "And it actually put in some sort of musical perspective the past 20 years, like, 'Oh yeah, we did do that, we did do this': the Ticketmaster thing, there was Roskilde, there were all these issues, and there were these great highs and interesting beginnings. The story it tells is: Why did it work, and why does it still? It made more sense when I saw the movie."
But "Twenty" isn't the only thing Pearl Jam have in store for fans to commemorate the occasion: They've also announced plans for a Labor Day weekend concert alongside the likes of the Strokes, Queens of the Stone Age and Mudhoney, and, as McCready hinted, there might even be some new music on the way. Or maybe not. After all, all this nostalgia takes up a lot of time.
"Jeff [Ament] and Ed [Vedder] were really wanting to do more music in the terms of, 'It's our 20th anniversary. Let's celebrate that, but let's also do some new music,' and we're all into that," McCready said. "So, you may see some new music, you may not. I know we're going to record some new music this year; it may not be finished by the end of the year."
