    Amazing as always. I just can't stop replaying the album. Every track is just so amazing and unique. I love Babylon, Stupid Love, Replay, Sour Candy, etc. One of the best albums ever.

    After a few years exploring other's genre's, we finally get to see Gaga going back to her roots again. Chromatica has a concept and Gaga nailed every point of it, despite its 80's references, this albums seems fresh in every song.

    You can see the hard work, the instruments, their vocal power, their change of voice in the songs, making them from soft to thick and robotic voices, the lyrics everything is perfect in this album is 10/10

    A perfect dance/pop album. The lyrics are self-reflecting to the point of actually feeling her feelings! What it lacks in experimental production it wins in the whole aesthetic and lyrical content. Also her vocals and the vocal production are ON POINT! A serve.

    What a masterpiece. I'm falling in love with Gaga all over again. Transitions are on point. Chromatica I (interlude) and Alice made me cry. The whole album tells a story. From broken Gaga (Chromatica I) to healing Gaga (Chromatica II) to free Gaga (Chromatica III). SHE REALLY OUTDID HERSELF AND YOU WOULD MISS OUT ON ONE OF THE BEST POP ALBUMS IF YOU DON'T LISTEN.

    Probably her most cohesive record yet. Really happy to see her return to dance pop even though I quite enjoyed Joanne and A Star Is Born. Nobody does dance pop like miss lady gaga. Best songs in my opinion are Alice, Rain On Me, Free Woman, Fun Tonight, 911, Plastic Doll, Enigma and Sine From Above.

    Definitely her most cohesive album in a while. A story of healing, survival and as she herself said it "dancing through pain" beginning to end. A true return to form, if you will. The wait was more than worth it. Once again, well done, Gaga!

    What can I even say about this project other than it's complete perfection? Lady Gaga once again show us how talented and versatile she is, from the whole concept of the album down to the fact that all of the songs are "single material", the melodies are fun, catchy and just makes you wanna dance non-stop, the lyrics have real deep meanings and show her relationship with the fame, her fansWhat can I even say about this project other than it's complete perfection?

Besides that Gaga also feed us with songs transitions and 3 act story telling album. It's beautiful, it's powerful, it transgress throughout time, It's vocally amazing and it's also very healing and deep. Lady Gaga has just given her all in this album and you can hear her soul as she invites you to this journey through Chromatica with her, celebrating tears and dancing over the pain.… Expand

    Uno dei suoi miglior album, forse il migliore da tempo immemore. Ha la capacità di farti alzare e ballare anche se non ne avevi voglia. Le canzoni sono complesse nel loro mood dance anni 80/90. Una perla che mancava da allora.

    How disappointing this listen was? I understand it's hard to be objective when you are following an artist to a point of stanning (and pop stars seem to always have such followings) but I don't understand how fans don't feel let down by this record. Through 16 tracks you have 3 completely out of place interludes which, with their lush orcherstral arrangements emphasize the basic soundsHow disappointing this listen was? I understand it's hard to be objective when you are following an artist to a point of stanning (and pop stars seem to always have such followings) but I don't understand how fans don't feel let down by this record. Through 16 tracks you have 3 completely out of place interludes which, with their lush orcherstral arrangements emphasize the basic sounds that will follow. Elsewhere, the record is struggling to find a melody, or worse, a chorus. It reeks of cheap tricks to get streaming points and that chart success - from the interludes, to exetremely short running time of songs, to unnecessary A-list featurings which will definitely generate the streams. But was it really necessary to drag someone of Elton John-s stature to sing on that? Like really, given the Gaga-s reputation you'd imagine they'd go for a power ballad if they ever decide they should naturally recall together. Why any of these two stooped this low is beyond me. I give it 2 points for an amazingly slick production which never bores *what can bore you at 2 mins though), but that's just how far an impressive producing can get you.… Expand

    POP PERFECTION! A complete experience listening from beginning to end and then all over again! I have to say this is Lady Gaga's most cohesive album to date and I was stunned and pleased with every twist and turn along the way. Bravo! Will be listening and dancing to Chromatica for years to come.

    Lady Gaga's sixth studio album Chromatica is nothing short of an exhilaratingly campy, fun pop album that comes at a time when people really need happy music to uplift their mood. We Little Monsters are blessed with this upbeat, positive album about combatting the negativity in life through self-acceptance and DANCING.

    I’ve been waiting for a Dance Record by Gaga for 7 years and I’m not afraid to say that it was worth it! Some songs gave me ARTPOP and Born This Way vibes and I’m here for it. The Lead single, Stupid Love, is the weakest track on the album for me. I really reccomend listening to the record from start to finish, not on shuffle. My fav tracks are probably 911, Babylon, Free Woman and Alice.

    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.
