    This is Gaga's triumphant return to pop/dance music, and it is nothing short of brilliant.

    It's absolutely her most personal work to date; every track is palpably powerful. While it is quite tame compared to her earlier works in terms of their outlandish nature, she makes up for it with newfound maturity and sophistication.

    It's absolutely her most personal work to date; every track is palpably powerful. While it is quite tame compared to her earlier works in terms of their outlandish nature, she makes up for it with newfound maturity and sophistication. The new shock factor is the relatabilty and honesty in the lyrics and composition. She has never sound more free and more versatile in her vocals as well; her vocal prowess she demonstrates in this album is jaw-dropping.

    Personal highlights for me are all the Chromatica interludes, "Alice", "Stupid Love", "Rain On Me", "911", "Enigma", and "1000 Doves". Act 1 of the album (from "Chromatica I" to "Fun Tonight") is absolute pop perfection, in my opinion. I wouldn't change a single thing about that run of the album.

    This is easily one of the greatest dance albums ever created, and it is an instant classic. Bravo, Gaga. You've created something truly magnificent.    … Expand

    The Queen of Pop is back! If you're more than just a casual fan of Gaga, you need to get the deluxe edition of this album from Target. "Love Me Right" is worth the price of the album alone.

    La producción del álbum es lo más destacado, pues aquellos encargados de aportar la música han dado lo mejor de sí. Las transiciones entre cancones son las mejores de la carrera del artista y los primeros ritmos que siguen a los interludios son un placer de escuchar.
    El nivel vocal y lirico el álbum cumple con lo que habría de esperar, e incluso llega a sorprender a través de las colaboraciones que lo acompañan.

    El álbum solo funciona al completo. En mi opinión, sería difícil disfrutar de una canción en solitario.    … Expand

    The album is a trip to her heart and mind. Bringing a brief nostalgia of times we not lived before. She always innovates and shows a different part of her. Totally an album that if it weren't for the pandemic, it would be playing in several clubs around the world. Celebration, freedom and connection with our interior as well.

    I love the combination of sad lyrics and faster tempo.
    I can listen to Chromatica no matter if I'm sad or happy or angry and it helps me to feel better. Very deep, honest and emotional. I'm grateful for all the people, who worked on this album. They did such a great job.
    This is what I was waiting for and what I needed.
    The best of Gaga's albums. Periodt.

    Chromatica es el álbum conceptual que todos esperabamos de Lady Gaga. Al escucharlo por primera vez, es difícil de asimilar, con lo único con lo que te quedas es que es un trabajo cohesivo. Después de escucharlo una segunda vez, te das cuenta de todos los detalles en la producción, el significado y profundidad de las letras, contrastantes con respecto a la melodía de cada canción.

La voz de Gaga se escucha más potente y dinámica, como no se había escuchado en sus anteriores álbumes. Los 3 actos del disco estan estructurados casi de manera perfecta, cada uno con una identidad propia. El inicio del álbum te transporta al mundo de Chromatica de una manera magistral. Alice es sin duda el mejor opening de cualquier álbum que Gaga haya creado. Las canciones destacadas son la anteriormente mencionada, Rain On Me con Ariana Grande (el sencillo perfecto), Free Woman, 911, Sour Candy con Blackpink, Enigma, Replay, Sine From Above con Elton John y Babylon.… Expand

    Chromatica is easily Lady Gaga’s most cohesive work to date. Packed with crisp production, deeply introspective lyrics, and dance-floor ready beats, Gaga reminds everyone why they fell in love with her in the first place.

    Standout tracks include Fun Tonight for its unexpected bait-and-switch, 911 for its experimentation (yes, Chromatica II is a necessary listen in combination), Replay for its inherent strength on, forgive me, replay, and Sine from Above, a delightfully euphoric duet with Elton John highlighting music’s ability to heal.    … Expand

    So many bots giving reviews on this site anymore. No way this many people found it to be a 10. Maybe it's all 16 or less year olds.. because the album is pretty generic. It's not "bad" but it sounds like so many other electronic albums and feels boring. Elton John sounded better with Ozzy.

    Chromatica offers a new lease of life not just for Lady Gaga, but for listeners too. The tracks are sure to get you on your feet, and whilst we may all be at home social distancing, it will leave you begging for a night out. The ability to talk about serious issues such as heartbreak and mental health, but in a euphoric way is something only Lady Gaga could achieve. A fantastic album!

    Absolutely love this album but I just find a little bit underwhelming, specially with no ballads at all. But that doesn't mean that Ms.Lady GaGa didn't deliver, she truly gave quality productions, deep feel lyrics and such an important message: Kindness. Top tracks: Alice, Stupid Love, Enigma, Replay, 911, Chromatica I,II, Rain On Me, Sour Candy, Babylon

    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.

    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.
