    One of the best dance albums of all time! The coesive tracks and the personal lyrics its so great that you can enjoy alone in your room or in a dance club. Lady Gaga stills a versatile artist who can do a brilliant work in every rythm she's in. A truly legend.

    She's back. This album really takes you to Chromatica with 13 dance bops and 3 breathtaking interludes.

    This is not one of the best. This is the BEST LADY GAGA'S ALBUM. She is back with her Pop music. She is the music. I love her and I love chromatica.

    Sounds from the heaven that makes you cry and dance at the same time. Shocked notes, vocal range and high quality sounds are part of this masterpiece.

    Be humble, listen and enjoy this futuristic songs. My favorite songs of Chromatica are Sine from Above and Enigma.    … Expand

    I’m not rating this as a Lady Gaga stan, I’m rating this as a music producer. Chromatica is a record that reaches people in so many ways. Each song on this album hits me in different ways and I relate to each one. This is my favorite album by Lady Gaga because it’s the first of hers that I truly connect to. Each song is so unique and creative, and really dives into the 80s dance/pop.I’m not rating this as a Lady Gaga stan, I’m rating this as a music producer. Chromatica is a record that reaches people in so many ways. Each song on this album hits me in different ways and I relate to each one. This is my favorite album by Lady Gaga because it’s the first of hers that I truly connect to. Each song is so unique and creative, and really dives into the 80s dance/pop. Chromatica modernizes the 80s, and with the main producers BloodPop, BURNS, and Tchami bringing their own flare to this beautifully crafted piece which adds to its complexity. On the surface it may give off a simplistic vibe, but after a few listens to each song you can really envelop yourself into the meaning. However the songs don’t just have one meaning. Everyone finds so many different meanings in each song based on their own personal experiences. My personal favorite on Chromatica and her discography, “Replay,” really explains the deep pain and struggle of PTSD which is something I too struggle with. It’s trancy, psychedelic, and hypnotic. It really grabs you and pulls you in. However one of my more favorite moments of the album is the transition from “Chromatica II” into “911.” On my first listen of the album in full my jaw dropped. Her vocals on this song give off a GLaDOS (From “Portal” and “Portal 2”) vibe and it’s cute. Though the song is about taking anti-psychotics, it’s highly catchy. This whole record is an emotional journey that you can dance to. Each song is so independent of each other, but plays an important role and adds to the cohesion of the story. Frankly this is, in my opinion, Lady Gaga’s best record in her whole discography. She really let's go of her pain and she shows us her truth. Every single song off of this piece of art is brilliant. Even though many fans and stans may not be happy we aren’t getting certain songs right now, or may never, it’s still a wonderful collection of dance music. This record has been used to compare works such as “Future Nostalgia” by Dua Lipa, and “folklore” by Taylor Swift. None of these albums compares to it or to each other because they are great in their own right. Chromatica truly embodies emotion, healing, bravery, and self-discovery. The more you listen, the better it gets. I haven’t stopped listening to this record, I can’t stop listening. I’ve tried going back to previous albums of hers, but it’s so hard because of my connection to these songs. This work of art doesn’t need to break insane boundaries to be magnificent, but it does. It breaks personal boundaries, and frankly I think that’s better than anything. There’s nothing about this that I don’t love, and I will never stop suggesting this album to anyone. It’s perfect.… Expand

    Un disco que nos cuenta un poco más sobre quien es y por los problemas que ha superado. Sus sonidos son muy dance y te hace recordar ANTRO o DISCOTECA

    Lady Gaga mostrou para o que veio e provou ser sim a dona das pistas de dança com o Chromatica. Um álbum pessoal, pop dançante e com uma linda mensagem sobre saúde mental. Melodias lindas, letras coesas. A mother Monster se supera a cada era.

    Gaga impone lo poderosa que es su voz, nos dio lo que tantos pedían para ARTPOP. Con grandiosas colaboraciones hizo que este álbum se complementara armoniosamente con sus maravillosos tracks. Sin duda uno de sus mejores trabajos. Larga vida a la nueva Reina del Pop

    El regreso triunfal que todos esperábamos. Es álbum para reventar las pistas de baile. Canciones tan poderosas que te hacen viajar a chromatica. Éste es el álbum que esperaba el pop, "que necesitaba el pop".

    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.
