    This album is a pure dance experience from beginning to end. No need to play it in shuffle, instead it actually tells a story while allowing you to embark on an EDM journey to Chromatica. Lady Gaga’s best album in a long time.

    The old Gaga is back, but with a totally fresh sound. She just released one of her best records so far.

    The album is pure pop. An album full of bangers, creativity and Lady Gaga being the absolute most!

    Not a single song is a filler or skipable. This might be my favorite Gaga album of all time. And it is a must listen for Dance music lovers.

    People really don't appreciate this album enough. Chromatica for me is the best dance album released this year. It has pop, Avant pop, electro pop, synth pop, disco glam and house elements mixed together in a 16-track-album, but managed to stay cohesive. The album divided into 3 different acts, each of them has different sounds and represents different stories. In my opinion, act II is thePeople really don't appreciate this album enough.

It has amazing written songs with very unique production such as 911 and Replay, which is the best song off the album. The first act is decent - any song from this section can be a radio hit. The weakest one definitely act 3, it started very beautiful with chromatica III interludes and Sine From Above, but the songs following that were just bad. 1000 Doves sounds like a Euro pop remix of a country ballad and Babylon sounds like a Sunday Service.

    I've had really high expectations for this album since we've waited forever for it and I was so sure the final product will not live up to its hype but from beginning to end, Chromatica blew me away ! Easily the most fun I've had listening to an album. I'ts a freaking experience.

    As an avid fan it’s hard for any album to top Born This Way! But this album has all the elements to make it a perfect pop record! No skips, every song has a story and it is sonically cohesive.. Gaga wanted to make us dance through our pain and she did exactly that. Favorites: Alice, 911 and Sine From Above!

    super art album from primcipio to end, epic and super good collaborations without a doubt the best album of 2020 always Gaga saving Pop.. y para los que hablan español Gaga les demostró quien es la Reina del pop actual cosa que ustedes no ven por el simple hecho de ver a Gaga brillar así que sigan llorando.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This triumphant body of work shows how much Gaga has grown as an artist and a person since Just Dance. The lyrics addresses her inner turmoil, pain, and handling struggles, discussing heavy and personal topics while using banger dance beats as a Trojan horse. She has set herself among the legends in pop again and again. Expand

    Gaga's most cohesive and focused work to date. If Born This Way was her 80's inspired industrial record, Chromatica is her 90's eurodance inspired record.

    Amazing!!! This is definitely the album of the year. Not only was the production phenomenal but the lyrics were also insanely impressive for a pop/dance record.

    Lady Gaga truly has a mind of a ... master. You'd think that after being in the industry for years that you'd know her or predict what she'd do next but no. She always got us on our toes. This album proves it.

    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.
  3. 80
    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.
