    In 2020, when every one is done with mediocre generic electronic/dance records, Gaga not only revived the electronic/dance genre scene but also took it in her hands to show everyone that how it is done, with deep personal messages blended with uplifting motive. This album is Gaga's one of the best till now.

    Gaga vuelve a llevarnos a la pista de baile y nos traslada a otro planeta, casualmente en este momento en el que la tierra se volvió inevitable. Sin una balada, sin ninguna decisión desacertada y repleto de imágenes de la escena musical de los años 90. Una revancha para Artpop, un nuevo capítulo de Born This Way.

    Muy buen álbum, cohesivo y las letras tiene un buen mensaje. Lady Gaga siempre da una buena propuesta con cada proyecto.

    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. The new shock factor is the relatabilty and honesty in the    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. 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

    Creo que básicamente es el resumen de los 11 años de trabajo de Lady Gaga, Alice sorprende gratamente siendo un tema que podría haber sido un éxito en los 80, 90 y 00. Temas cortos y pegajosos, pop puro algo que faltaba en estos tiempos de pandemia.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Chromatica es un album en donde se puede sentir evidentemente el regreso de Lady Gaga hacia el Pop generico, recordandonos algunos de sus trabajos discograficos pasados.

    Se puede sentir la vibra que Gaga intenta transmitirnos en canciones como "Stupid Love, Rain On Me, Fun Tonight, 1000 Doves"
    No debes dejar que el sentimiento de la tristeza domine sobre tí, debes ser quien domine la trsiteza, debes luchar por tu propia pista de baile, debes luchar por tu vida.

    Es un mundo lleno de vida, muy variado y personal, encontraras lo que buscas.
    En Chromatica ninguna cosa es mejor que otra

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gaga's new launch is a rediscovery about pop music with 90's setting atmosphere, well incorporate in looking for fresh sounds with electro, EDM, house, dance music. Personal lyrical content, about many phases of sadness but trying to change the perception about these feelings in positive messages, with joyful melodies. Maybe her best work until now.… Expand

    A- Gaga took us to a new state of mind with hard hitting club tracks that cover trauma, love and self realization covered in a sci-fi journey called CHROMATICA .

    Truly a journey from the start to end, the interludes give the album a cinematic/ storytelling sense, its very fresh to hear revamped sounds from the roots of house and dance scene with very visceral lyrics, worth the listen, loved the album

    At first, i didn't really like this album. Was a little disappointed. But by listening it again and again and again, it literally grew on me and I love it.
    It may sounds a little draft at some point or maybe there is too much at the same time in some song but Gaga experiments new things along with going back to dance-floor songs. And I like it.

    Some filler songs, and masterpieces such as Babylon and Sine From Above. A nice treat for Gaga’s pop fans seen her coming back to her roots. Catchy rhythms and lyrics, a great album to play Saturday Night.

    Me gusta mucho pero hay canciones que se me hacen con sobreproducción, pero aun así el disco es maravilloso y nos hace bailar con cualquier canción, sobre todo con rain on me y sour candy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gaga is truly the new queen of pop. Do I think this is her best album? No. Born this way was too iconic. 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

    Lady Gaga is back! Finally! Since ARTPOP, it has not delivered such an incredible, cohesive and profound sound. Fortunately, she left her aunt dead 40 years ago and went back to Pop that made a world of little monsters fall in love. Yeahhh!

    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.
