    Really disappointed after listening to this album. I love Lady Gaga so much and we all know how much she is talented and it's just sad to see her not using that talent. The only good tracks are interludes and collaborations. So many weird sounds, I think we should just make a whole genre for white gays.

    It's a good album with good sound, but i can't see the true power of Gaga such as The fame or The Fame Monster.

    Gaga takes us to Chromatica, a world she gave us a glipmse to back in her third installment Born This Way. With this record we can all dance away our pain, trauma and frustrations and be healed and fortified at the end. Gaga is still a monster in electropop making and this time she delicers for the ages to come

    Lady Gaga nos sorprende al volver a sus raíces de electro-pop y por comercial, acá podemos destacar como nos pone a bailar con canciones como "Rain On Me", "Stupid Love", entre otras.

    No podemos destacar producción, pues está es plagada de samples, que obvio no es malo en varios sentidos pero asimismo terminan con la originalidad de sonidos que nos propone este disco, a pesar de que nos ponga a bailar por ningún lado se puede destacar algo innovador, como quizás lo fue "Born This Way" y "Artpop" de manera más actualizada, donde ella experimento con ese tipo de sonidos y a pesar de todo lograron incursionar fuera del éxito que tuvieron, pero que su experimentación destacó por si misma.
    En lírica suena igual que cualquier canción que quisiera ser comercial, no nos da un sentimiento de profundidad, pero pues para este género no se espera tanto como tal pero si como una artista a ese nivel y recién salida de 2 eras como "A Star Is Born" y "Joanne" innove en letras para un álbum comercial y que nos ponga a bailar pero se queda estancado en lo que se supone que vendría a ser normalmente "pop comercial" y es el problema de hoy en día, el pop al sonar bastante igual y repetitivo deja de ser comercial y por lo tanto empieza a ser desplazado por otro tipo de géneros como pasa hoy en día.
    Aunque se mantenga comercialmente en pequeños y/o grandes aspectos no podemos decir que es una joya, nos pone a bailar (algo que realmente todos nos gusta) y que Gaga jamás nos ha decepcionado pero realmente no innova como tal, no logra un impacto que como su primer álbum, segundo e incluso sus siguientes álbumes hasta Joanne, sólo tenemos más hits bailables y veraniegos que ya no logran un impacto como antes porque no progresan con el tiempo el cual vivimos.
    En otros aspectos como voz y asimismo en sí, las canciones destacan como tal porque se pueden escuchar y no te dejan de gustar por lo pegadizas pero para la época que fue lanzado realmente queda muy corto en respecto a otros álbumes; también el que cada día hay una evolución constante de la música y respectivamente en fans o no fans de las artistas, Gaga de por si no ha logrado generar una aceptación del General Public o por lo menos una base de fans muy grande para que tenga una recepción favorable y aunque ella internacionalmente se destaque en principales mercados como su propio país se queda muy corta con sus contemporáneas.
    Lo más destacable del álbum es el concepto de un planeta completamente nuevo y que cada canción nos sumerge en él, su poderosa voz y su "comeback" al pop que muchos/as añoraban volver a escuchar de la cantante.    … Expand

    Una experiencia maravillosa, un poderoso mensaje, junto con una gama de colores musicales, sonidos bailables, con letras muy interesantes, es un verdadero viaje. Como siempre su respaldo visual le da mayor fuerza a este maravilloso mundo que es cromática.

    Gaga poderia ter se mantido na zona confortável (e de sucesso) que chegou com a trilha sonora de nasce uma estrela, mas decidiu fazer o completo oposto, E DEU MUITO CERTO. Tem umas músicas que eu pulo, mas o fato do album ser todo com alto bpm, mesmo com letras tristes ou revoltadas, é muito bom. O álbum tem sua própria identidade, tanto sonora quanto visual.

    It looks that Gaga don't really care about real music anymore. She's only care about chart that's why she collab with Ariana and Blackpink. Overall the album sound the same with her old album at '00. Such a shame.

    Every album that Gaga gives, we're given a different vibe and feeling, and with this, it has a disco anime pop feel to it and I love love love it, the transitions are amazing, and she knows how to mix in the artist featured with which song, I love it

    It's not as good as ARTPOP but the album is really cohesive and the second part is so good. 911, Enigma and Babylon are the highlights of Chromatica. I can't help but dance when I listen to it, this album is just good and I'm satisfied.

However, that does not take anything away from this amazing album! My only real complaint is that 1000 doves was put as a piano ballad on the original album.… Expand

    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.
