    A very cohesive pop effort, showing Gaga’s lyrical, sonic, and thematic maturity. Some songs are better than the others, giving some low points or potential skips for casual listeners during the album. Nonetheless, this is outweighed by the well-thought out track arrangement and seamless flows, particularly between the the orchestral interludes and the following dance track. Sine FromeA very cohesive pop effort, showing Gaga’s lyrical, sonic, and thematic maturity. Some songs are better than the others, giving some low points or potential skips for casual listeners during the album. Nonetheless, this is outweighed by the well-thought out track arrangement and seamless flows, particularly between the the orchestral interludes and the following dance track. Sine Frome Above is a moment. Chromatica cuts emotionally as it successfully juxtaposes dark lyrics against joyful beats in some of the tracks, giving listeners a musical dissonance in the best possible way.… Expand

    Álbum coeso, com uma linha muito bem definida. Lady Gaga confirmou a grande artista que é.

    A transição de uma música para a outra é incrível . Ela literalmente criou uma obra prima dos anos 90 90 ' n 2000 e com eurodance . Esse álbum reúne muito mais que uma música viciante e melódica . Ela reuniu a PERFEIÇÃO de um álbum completo . Se vocês queriam vingança para o ARTPOP aí está !!!!!

    ALBUM DA CARREIRA, DIFERENTE DE TUDO JÁ FEITO, MOSTRA O QUANTO ELA CONSEGUE FACILMENTE PROGREDIR EM QUALQUER ESTILO MUSICAL.

    AMAZING.
    de inicio a fin te atrapa, tiene de todo, las letras son increibles y los ritmos no te dejan tomarte ni un descanso por estar bailando, Gaga nos dio todo lo que nos prometió y mas que eso.
    me encanta.

    All in all the album is boring. I like 3 songs but the others sound just the same. Nothing really original or fresh. Sounds like a safe boring album of an eccentric artist.

    ART. That’s all there is to it...art. Gaga takes audiences around the world on her emotional journey through music that celebrates all the rain that has fallen from her eyes, and the rainbows that come after, all in this lyrical and musical masterpiece called Chromatica.

    That's the album of the year. It's not just a simple pop disco, it's THE disco pop that the world deservs. That's enough. Like they say, Lady Gaga doesn't need pop music, pop music needs Gaga.

    POP PERFECTION Gaga entrega tudo oque todos estavam querendo/precisando, o trabalho em criar as intrus e encaixar as músicas como transição é algo revolucionário para a cantora que mais uma vez prova ser a mais versátil no mundo!

    When I played it first time I saw God and imediatelly Jesus jumped in front of me saying "my name isn't Alice". It's a masterpiece like something Gaga never have done before. It's so refreshing to hear her pop perfection again. I wonder why she never released any song since Born This Way but here it is.

    Generic beats findable at any club made by local novice DJs. Some lyrics like from 1000 Doves are great though, most of the tracks are just repeating the name of the song over a generic beat.

    Chromatica is one of Lady Gaga’s best work that she has ever put out. During these harsh times, it’s really insuring to get an album which encourages you to dance and be happy. This is portrayed by the lyrics which are a little bit dark and the production being upbeat and cheerful.

During these harsh times, it’s really insuring to get an album which encourages you to dance and be happy. This is portrayed by the lyrics which are a little bit dark and the production being upbeat and cheerful. Apart from the outstanding futuristic visuals that this album offers, the most intriguing thing that I found was how this album is divided into 3 sections. To me, the three parts sounded different sonically. In the first part (Chromatica 1) Lady Gaga goes back to her roots, which is pop. In the second part (Chromatica 2), the songs were experimental and Gaga used voice modifications to alter her voice to sound robotics. In the last part (Chromatica 3), the songs were anthemic and she showed her powerful vocal skills. Even thought the tracks are not as divided as I divided as I claimed it to be, as then the album would not be coherent, she still created this album in a way that it has different songs sonically but still sounds like it is very coherent.… 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.
