    3 or 4 good songs in the album. Love sine from above the best on the album. Babylon sound like Vogue

    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’.

    Chromatica isn't bad per say, but why listen to almost an hour of a not so great album when you can listen to joanne or artpop? Mostly skips, two or smth highlights

    Tutte le canzoni sembrano la stessa, si può parlare di album coeso certamente, ma solo perché sembrano tutte la stessa cosa. L’album si salva solo per i featuring, se fosse stato un solo album sarebbe finito nel dimenticatoio come Joanne e artpop.

    Um álbum pop muito bom, porém enjoativas repetições em suas músicas, com melodias parecida

    Un disco ni malo ni bueno a mi criterio. Podríamos hablar de algo mejor. Como singles único salvado gracias a ariana grande Rain on me. Situación que no me es grata la canción, para tema os Fun tonight y 911.

    Seguindo uma linha tênue entre electro pop e house music, Lady Gaga oferece mais um pouco do mesmo de sempre.

    Em seu sexto álbum de estúdio entitulado de 'Chromatica', Lady Gaga mais uma vez mergulha na raiz de seu estilo musical primário (Electro Music), responsável pelo seu primordial sucesso no 'The Fame', porém com influências house music, estilo já apresentado por Madonna nos anos 90 em sua icônica e atemporal 'Vogue', mas Gaga parece insistir em uma sonoridade datada, chinfrim e básica. De fato, em seu mais novo álbum, a cantora expressa que o mesmo foi responsável por sua cura espiritual, podendo até mesmo ter sido o agente motivador da sua melhora no seu curioso caso de depressão, mas por sorte não podemos dizer o mesmo dos ouvidos de quem o ouve. Chromatica revela uma fase persistente de Lady Gaga e a sua incapacidade de superar seu tão cobiçado e aclamado auge artístico em 2009. Em contra partida, a interprete de 'Bad Romance' entrega boates de cunho experimental em 'Sine From Above', que mesmo com a presença de 12 compositores para realizar tal façanha, possui batidas frenéticas, eletrizantes e contagiantes. Em 2018, Lady Gaga mergulhou na graça das radios contemporâneas com seu hit 'Shallow' e o aclamado/premiado 'A Star Is Born', o que poderia ter iniciado uma fase totalmente madura e ponderada, mas ao que parece, tal sucesso não foi o suficiente para fazer Gaga sair de sua bolha eletrônica, mas como a própria cantora diz 'Faça pelos gays', mas é uma pena que os mesmos não fariam tal sacrifício por ela. Desse modo, 'Chromatica' é uma aposta, uma aposta falha e repetitiva.    … Expand

    Ngl I don't get the hype for this album. I have given it multiple listens but except the 4 songs released as singles, I can't even bear to hear the rest. The lyrical quality is also not there. Just another Gaga album grossly overhyped by her fans. Give it a listen and you will know.

    嘎嘎小姐 的流行音乐复出令人失望，这张专辑被来宾盖过了阴影，宾客是Elton John，Ariana Grande和BLACKPINK。在我看来，这张专辑缺乏多样性，而且声音已经过时了，没有表现出的技能，而且她的人声也不是很好。我希望她能发布更好的音乐，而且将来听起来不会过时。

    I love Lady Gaga that is why I am rating this generously at 4. The album felt forced. It felt like after her previous work of "Joanne" and "A star is born" she wanted to reclaim her roots so she made this album to remind you that she is still that same Lady Gaga. The arrangement wasn't that good. There were song that I was waiting for the bass drop but it never came at the right time. SomeI love Lady Gaga that is why I am rating this generously at 4.

    It's hard to see where Lady Gaga would go after the diseaster of 2016's Joanne, and she decided to go into full-fledged generic dance-pop tunes that not only feel duplicated, but feel unoriginal and uninspired. With some bangers, most songs feel like filler or are not good enough to dance to.

    Es irremediablemente genérico de principio a fin en donde encontramos a una Gaga que anhela volver a tener el éxito que tuvo en su era dorada y complacer a sus fans que sólo la apoyan cuando lanza música comercial desechable.

Por otro lado, si este nuevo trabajo discográfico logra prosperar será enteramente por sus colaboraciones, ya que es un hecho que como solista su éxito ha sido más errático que certero. Difícil escoger una canción en específico ya que el álbum en sí suena casi todo igual con una que otra son pegajosas pero a corto plazo perderán la onda.… Expand

    I had high hopes for this album but I am very disappointed. :( Lady Gaga adds nothing new or inventive to her great discography.. it is really repetitive at this point. All songs sound the same and the production strikes me as cheap and lacks originality. It will be good in clubs and stuff, but not a solid body of her work like most of her past albums. I hope it grows one me

The k-pop band that still force us to swallow on an unoriginal track with a repeated sample used in 2017 by another singer. And his friend, Elton Jhon, who needed 12 composers to write a mushy overcoming track. Other than that the album is more of the same and ends with another attempt by Lady to create her own Vogue.

    Mess. A mess. Gaga has lots of ideas all over the place and never fully lands them. She’s clearly aiming for a younger and stronger audience with the likes of Ariana and blackpink (the only decent songs;
    and decent doesn’t mean good).

    The most basic of albums....I see Gaga hasn't left her habbit of making a career out of only visuals with little musical inspiration...I thought Joanne was a move away from that but I was wrong....the sounds are some of the most uninspired dance pop sounds and the lyrics extremely corny. The collabs don't bring anything to the table either.

    Not a very good album. Mostly all of the songs sound similar and there is no flow throughout the album. Lady Gaga just put out her worst album if you ask me

    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.
