    I love this album. I have loved it since its lead single "Stupid Love". This is what we can expect from "The Mother Monster" Lady Gaga. She is back with her old self since after "A Star Is Born" soundtrack. Stefani killed it ! This is an album with full of creativity, great melody, meaningful lyrics, and amazing production. It gives me party and dancing vibes.

    Pop perfection. Album of the year. She is back as the pop Queen. Babylon, Alice, 911 are highlights.

    Solid album. Gaga did such a great job on this project. The way it sounds fresh and nostalgic at the same time.

    Amazing work.

    This is an album to really heard from the beginning to the end. It tells you a story, a story about Gaga, and makes you to get a an adventure in another world, another dance floor.

    10/10. This is an album with all the escense of Gaga, the powerfull, dark and sad lyrics but with an electric-pop production that maybe remind “ARTPOP”, but no. Now she give us “Babylon”a song so cool with the rithym of house dance, it is so fckin cool! Its like a “Black Jesus Amen Fashion 2.0”, time for walk and feellin fine, like the missunderstud “Fashion!”

    And for all that people that say that Lady Gaga is weird on her music or infravalorated for songs like “Replay”, I just say what Lady Gaga said once time ago on an interview: “When people said that they think know what Lady Gaga is, I just probe all of them that they don’t know what Lady Gaga is”. NO ONE IN THIS EARTH KNOW IT! so please mature and grow as a person:). This is her best album yet    … Expand

    Cohesion and intelligence can resume this amazing return of Lady Gaga to the pop music. Rain On Me, Replay, Sine From Above and 1000 Doves are the highlights

    This is her new best Album ever after Born This Way, and The Fame Monster. Gaga really shows her talent in this album. The songs are all sounds powerful and fun.

    There is something impenetrable about Lady Gaga. She's not perfect and at times I don't understand the performance she's putting on. But she manages to be the sole most important figure in pop. She transcends her own music and takes on a significance that few peers do.

    With every lyric and every persona, she has intention. Few of her lyrics feel casual. Even the campy lyrics that    There is something impenetrable about Lady Gaga.

She transcends her own music and takes on a significance that few peers do.

    With every lyric and every persona, she has intention. Few of her lyrics feel casual. Even the campy lyrics that she reorients her music on Chromatica with. Other reviews seem to confine her to her previous work, with nonstop comparisons to The Fame and to Madonna. This music is a fun nostalgic reference to the origins of queer, house music that speaks to Gaga, even while the rest of pop moves in other directions and eventually disappears.

    Gaga is a theatrical talent. She is best when she explores and reinterprets others' art. She confused and retaught the world of her gift to sing in character for A Star is Born. On Chromatica, Gaga sounds more delicate and grown-up while dumbing down her often complicated music for the masses. She bounces around your earbuds and defies expectations once more, despite the world's unrealistic expectations of her performance. She's arrived this time with kinder messages.

    You can almost tell that she has left her judgmental and critical home in Manhattan and become comfortable in her skin at her new home in sunny southern California. I have a feeling this will be the last relic of a young, self-conscious Gaga. And I am going to soak these beats and sounds up and wear it as my skin, as I have been doing for over a decade.    … Expand

    She’s obviously taken note on the mis-step that was Joanne, and taken it all in a different direction (leaning more towards the BTW and AP era’s) and while there are a few decent tracks, there’s no stand out memorable ‘bops’. It’s sad, not only because we waited so long for this but also because I still know GaGa can do so much better than this.

    Horrific...... I'll give props to some of the features but that's it LMFAOAAOOA. Sour Candy best song and the fact that it's most memorable bc of Blackpink and not Gaga is sad.

    Irmã mais nova do lendário Born this Way e prima de primeiro grau do Artpop, Chromatica chegou pra arregaçar as gays chatas que não aceitaram bem a versatilidade da gaga como artista. Uma obra viciante, que vai envelhecer muito bem!

    This album is so great. This is Lady Gaga's at her new level musically and lyrcally. The album is her best. I think all its tracks are exceptional, yet not one of them is shallow. The production is really on point, you can tell it has been meticulously planed.

    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.
