    Amazing. One of Gaga's most cohesive work yet maybe next to Born This Way. I love how the album is divided into sections with the songs following each interlude being of a different theme and telling a different story, narrative and set in a different tone. Chromatica I onwards is full of statements, acknowledging the things thay she loves, the things she believes in, the obstackes sheAmazing. One of Gaga's most cohesive work yet maybe next to Born This Way. I love how the album is divided into sections with the songs following each interlude being of a different theme and telling a different story, narrative and set in a different tone. Chromatica I onwards is full of statements, acknowledging the things thay she loves, the things she believes in, the obstackes she faces, and ending with Fun Tonight flows directly into the darker and slightly angrier tone of Chromatica II. Chromatica II onwards speaks about the turth, what she's really thinking and going through. Here she accepts and screams everything she's thinking of at the top of her lungs. Her mental illness with 911 and Replay, objectification of women and misogyny with Plastic Doll and Sour Candy, and her versatility in Enigma. These all flow excellently into the epiphany which is Chromatica III onwards. Here we see Gaga finding comfort in music, and accepting that music can heal her in so many ways possible in Sine From Above. 1000 Doves showcases Gaga in peak sobriety and self-awareness, where she admits her shortcomings and imperfections, and says that she'll keep trying even if she knows she isn't perfect yet. Ending with a clever statement, Babylon talks about gossip and comparisons she has experienced in the music industry, especially with Madonna. In Babylon, she sings the lyrics "That's gossip, what you on? Money don't talk, rip that song, gossip, babble on, battle for your life, babylon." in a Vogue spoken word style, sassily taking a mick out of all the comparisons with her and Madonna.

    All in all it's an amazing album, very cohesive, and perfectly encompasses the genre born from hardship and pain – house music. 10/10.    … Expand

Kinda disappointed with sour candy, I love blackpink so I was excited to listen to that one song in specific, but it was super bland. My favorite songs are Chromatica II, 911, babylon and sine from above.… Expand

    For me, the best album of 2020, and I feel that Chromatica deserves all the success that it had and will continue to have, because this is so Inspiring, fresh, original, with dance songs, and with amazing lyrics that do not need 'bad words' to be powerful.

    It’s everything we expect from Gaga and more! She’s did it again, despite her releasing during a global pandemic, it actually was something we all needed to hold us over during these challenging times. She may not see it as that, but Chromatica definitely reciprocated the love and energy. I can’t wait for what’s to come for her. A truly magnificent album. Thank you Lady Gaga.

    Not the album of the year but one of the best albums of 2020, the soundtrack of this historical moment. This is a message from Chromatica:

    I really wanted to love this album but it’s simply not her best work. I listen to it once and thought maybe the second time will be better and NOPE! Has about 2 good songs but most songs are skips!!

    one of her best projects imo. even though this album contains 3-4 songs that are kinda useless for the album... some of the songs are really interesting and reminds of her past time!

    Gaga ha fracasado en un intento de revivir sus glorias pasadas, aquí no hay nada innovador sólo quiso hacer un The Fame (Monster) el cual no le salió

    So gaga and well produced . Full of bops and also feels . Not as strong as her pervious projects but it is its own project and delivers vocally . One of the bests of 2020 for sure .

    O álbum como um todo possui um objetivo claro e óbvio! Trazer aos fãs aquilo que sentiam falta nas músicas da cantora. Por tanto, foi proposital a "não-inovação" em questão sonora, já que Lady Gaga quis acertar no ponto certeiro onde iria agradar a maioria dos fãs que sentiam falta de um Pop dançante. Além de trazer letras fortes e que permitam aos fãs refletirem determinados assuntos.O álbum como um todo possui um objetivo claro e óbvio!

    Chromatica proves not only that Gaga is still one of the most powerful artist in the world but also proves that she makes the best electro-dance music in the pop industry.

    Honestly, I think Chromatica is one of her best albums, right after Joanne, which was an underrated masterpiece.
    Everything is so cohesive, thanks to the transitions. Lady Gaga also gave us memorable vocals, with Sine from Above with sir Elton John and 1000 Doves.
    Without any surprise, collaborations fits really well in the album, a special shout-out to Rain on Me, which is iconic, but    Honestly, I think Chromatica is one of her best albums, right after Joanne, which was an underrated masterpiece.

    El mejor trabajo que Gaga a echo.
    Sin palabras.
    Todas las canciones transmiten un mensaje, el unico album de Gaga que no hay palabras exlicitas.
    Desde Chromatica I a Babylon todo es perfección, mis canciones favoritas son:
    911, Sine From Above, Plastic Doll, Replay, Fun Tonight, Rain On Me y 1000 Doves

    Este Álbum me ayudo a enfrentar la pesadilla que vivimos a través del 2020, ha sido un año difícil, pero aprendí a bailar en la distancia, y este álbum tiene un sentimiento hemos. Sinceramente es un álbum con mucha fuerza, 80´s vibras y letras un poco depresivas, pero nos recuerda que a pesar del dolor que tengamos por dentro, siempre habrán momentos para bailar y olvidar los malos ratos.

    By far one of the best albums that came out in 2020. Albums get old and tired. This album, however, will continue with me throughout the years. I have listened to the album throughout 2020 and I have not gotten tired of one song. Congratulations Lady Gaga for making such an amazing album.

    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.
