    Es espectacular como cada canción te lleva a otra dimensión , no tienes por qué saltear ninguna no hay la necesidad sin embargo es uno de sus álbumes más precatables. Gaga a llegado!

    Amazing work from Lady Gaga. The perfect marriage of EDM and Pop. It tells a story and is definitely supposed to be listened to as such, from start to finish. Gaga’s Magnum Opus.

    Este álbum es más que canciones, es una historia con cada transición de Chromatica I, II y III te muestra el inicio de una parte de esa historia, desde como te da la bienvenida a una nueva era hasta el final de una aceptación total del dolor que puedes sentir pero que te puede enseñar muchas cosas.

    Chromatica Es lo que estábamos esperando, es una obra maestra que a través de sus letras desgarradoras o cuestionantes nos pone a danzar, festejar y ver las cosas malas de otra manera. Gracias Lady Gaga por ser una artista en todo el sentido de la palabra.

    I love so mucho this álbum ❤️
    Cada canción es más pegadiza que la otra. Se puede escuchar de principio a fin y nunca te aburre, además que está para bailarlo Completamente. Me encanta demasiadooo!!! Era lo que esperaba desde hace tiempo por parte de Lady Gaga.

    Alice – 7/10 (Feels like its meant to be the thesis regarding her search for herself, a fun song, but not necessarily substantive/groundbreaking, this album isn't reinventing the wheel.)
    Stupid Love – 5.5/10 (I wax and wane between loving and hating this song. Admittedly works better in the context of the album, but not a great lead single if you're looking for substance.)
    Rain on Me –    Alice – 7/10 (Feels like its meant to be the thesis regarding her search for herself, a fun song, but not necessarily substantive/groundbreaking, this album isn't reinventing the wheel.)
    Stupid Love – 5.5/10 (I wax and wane between loving and hating this song. Admittedly works better in the context of the album, but not a great lead single if you're looking for substance.)
    Rain on Me – 8.5/10 (This is Gaga's biggest collaboration since Beyonce on Telephone, while not necessarily as bombastic, I think that marrying Ariana to a metaphor for tears was a very smart idea given her history with the imagery on sweetener, their vocal deliveries are wonderfully contrasted, and while it might not be the most groundbreaking pop record, its a fun second single, and shows Gaga's showmanship for writing a good pop hook remains.)
    Free Woman – 6/10 (The self empowerment anthem feels a bit clichéd, and has been done before, and better, but its a fun song, feels like its trying to do a lot. A couple of clunky lyrics, "don't kiss me too hardly", and a bit generic feeling production bog the song down, but I can support the sentiment that Gaga is back to reclaim her dancefloor, as if she's left any gay bar playlists.)
    Fun Tonight – 6/10 (Hate the pre-chorus, bit clichéd with the dissonance of the lyrics to the music, but its a danceable track.)
    911 – 7/10 (The flat, robotic affect works really well here, in selling the song as Gaga being trapped in her anxieties, dependent on antipsychotics to function, gives a sense of the mental space she's likely been in while producing this album.)
    Plastic Doll – 4/10 (Guilty pleasure, but this is as generic as generic gets. SOPHIE'S production died for this??)
    Sour Candy– 3/10 (Sorry blinks, you deserve more than a 2:37 bite, this is barely a song, let alone a duet. Ariana and Elton got the more substantive features.)
    Enigma – 5/10 (Dig her showing off her beltability, but otherwise feels fairly middling, the lyrics are a bit Clunky)
    Replay – 7/10 (I like this, but its production feels "off", like I get "Music Sounds Better With You" vibes, but there's a dissonance between the vocal track and production? Like its going for a kind of chaotic effect, which I feel couldve affected the vocal track more, as the song's lyrics are kind of generic under scrutiny.)
    Sine from Above – 8/10 (Most interesting track on the album, I really wish if this was the song influencing the entire thing that she'd gone for some more spacious/odd sonic soundscapes, made it feel like we were really in an alien world, rather than it feeling like Chromatica as a concept was tagged on last minute to make the album marketable.)
    1000 Doves – 4/10 (Ends up feeling filler-y, clunky lyrics and LOTS of reverb.)
    Babylon – 7.5/10 (So bad and campy in concept it ends up working, this maybe the one song on this album that feels "Gagesque", definitely can see the Vogue comparisons, but in the end its just a fun stupid song about gossip.)

    Overall: I'd give this a total of 6.5 (rounded up), at the end of the day, its not a bad album per se, however I think Gaga is a victim of her own success, if you were expecting a clever dissection of the current political state of the world, this album is directed moreso inwardly, and doesn't necessarily explore ideas that are new to Gaga, but it is a welcome return to pop music. (I lowkey wish this was a high concept, space pop opera with alien soundscapes, as the alien planet of Chromatica feels a bit like tacked on marketing with zero reference within the songscapes.)    … Expand

Tell me which artist brings you such a good pop album!? if it's Lady Gaga and Chromatica is a clear example, a pop album 80s futuristic! he could be the best of his career! long ago, a masterpiece was so perfectly pop, catchy sounds and iconic collaborations.

    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.
