    I love Lady Gaga. (Alice, Plastic Doll, Free Woman, 1000 Doves, Sine From Above, 911 were all bops) I think Plastic doll is the song I've listened to most out of all her albums. I am an avid fan. I've been there since "Just Dance" debuted on the radio. Stupid Love was an okay song, I listen to it from time to time. I really didn't like the songs that made it on the radio.

I disliked Sour Candy and Rain on me, which the latter seems to be the most played on the radio for some reason. I was disappointed because I thought the collabs could've made better songs. I was hoping for more dance pop hits. But I guess Gaga was doing something experimental. Can't wait until the next album!… Expand

    Gaga returns to her roots on Chromatica. A total 180 from her days of Joanne, Chromatica gives us timeless pop anthems. Staying true to herself, Gaga gives a lot of insight into her personal life, as well as carries themes of feminism. A truly cohesive project, Chromatica never repeats itself as every track gives a familiar, yet new flavor. While it doesn't quite outdo projects like BornGaga returns to her roots on Chromatica.

    Grandioso e igênuo. Potente e vulnerável. Altruísta e doloroso. Difícil julgar os sentimentos de alguém, esses são mais do que o tema central aqui. Me perco um pouco na organização das faixas, não entendo bem o storytelling, mas, a mensagem é clara e evidente. 8.9 - ganha pontos pela execução e conceito - produção de ponta!

    Gaga went back to her roots and even outdid herself in a good way. A true masterpiece.

    Very few albums bridge electronic dance music with complex emotional and spiritual arcs. Chromatica perfectly captures the essence of Lady Gaga’s personal story, while giving us some great music to sweat the pain out with. Two and a half years after the release I still listen to the album every single day.

    Great album. It has bops and some skips.
    Alice, Plastic Doll, Sine From Above, 1000 Doves and Babylon are excellent, my personal favorites.

    Chromatica knows what it’s doing. It is a journey through trauma, and an experience of healing in itself. Hearing the many nuances of storytelling within the production of this album - the way Replay sounds like musical trauma itself - this album is a perfect 10.

    Lady Gaga logra crear su propio mundo fantástico y colorido en su sexto trabajo discográfico. Un álbum conceptual que en palabras de la propia Gaga la sanó y sirvió como terapia para afrontar algunos traumas personales y problemas de salud mental.

Una obra fuertemente influenciada por el haus, disco y    Lady Gaga logra crear su propio mundo fantástico y colorido en su sexto trabajo discográfico. Un álbum conceptual que en palabras de la propia Gaga la sanó y sirvió como terapia para afrontar algunos traumas personales y problemas de salud mental.

    "Chromatica" fue concebido como un álbum digno de ser escuchado de principio a fin. Una obra fuertemente influenciada por el haus, disco y EDM de los años 90's que se encuentra dividida en tres actos perfectamente diferenciados, cada uno precedido por un interludio que brinda una atmósfera de drama teatral y éxtasis colosal.

    Definitivamente la mezcla de sonidos es el gran acierto de este álbum, la transición entre canciones sucede de una forma muy cohesiva y armónica, "Chromatica II" a "911", y los inesperados cambios de ritmos resultan algo extraños al principio pero logran funcionar bastante bien, "Sine From Above" por mencionar un ejemplo. Por otro lado, la interpretación que Gaga hace de cada una de las canciones es apoteósica, claramente se nota una evolución en el control de su voz que se ve reflejada en el juego de tonos y armonías musicales que emplea, "Enigma" y "1000 Doves".

    En fin, Chromatica es un himno de fiesta, un sueño bailable, una fantasía electrónica-pop que nos recuerda y hace homenaje a la Gaga de sus inicios con trabajos como "The Fame" y "Born This Way".

    Un disco que con valentía pretende ser un festejo del dance más bailable del que la mother monster nos ha nutrido esta última década. Con letras personales que se funden con ese sonido retro que te invita a darlo todo en la pista de baile.

    This is literally the best album of 2020. Gaga once again proved that there is no one better than her now and no one to compete with her but herself. Alice, Sour Candy, Babylon, Plastic Doll, Chromatica II + 911..... can't tell you how beautiful this album is

    With this one Gaga made dance and pop music fashionable again. This album was "coming back" to her roots. And she did what she wanted. This is not pop music, this is Chromatica.

    I think this is Lady Gaga’s best album. Lyrically, conceptually, vocally, and visually. She did not disappoint with this album. This album is the definition of dancing through your pain and feeling healed at the end of it.

    Dance through the pain. Chromatica is by far one of Lady Gaga’s most comercial albums with catchy lyrics and sick dance beats. What a way to tell us a story.

    The nostalgia in the production — a blend of crisp digital synth textures and ringing grooves drawn directly from '90s house music — further bolsters the shadowed euphoria of a song like "Sour Candy," in which Gaga is joined by the K-pop girl group Blackpink; "Sine from Above," featuring Elton John, gets a similar friction from the interplay between their voices.

    Infectious, exciting and even a little hedonistic during some of the most confusing of modern times, now’s never been a better time to get lost in this new destination.

    Chromatica’s frank grappling with the vagaries of Gaga’s brain – and the way fame exacerbates them – ends up feeling much more real than touring dive bars with a guitar and a Stetson ever did.
