    Full of emotions, yet explosive and makes you want to dance. This album has some of the best tracks in Gaga's career and the song progression throughout the album is absolutely flawless.

    Gaga woke up one morning and decided to write 16 absolute bangers, and for that I'm grateful. And about Fun Tonight, Gaga I'm so sorry, I bought Joanne three times if that means anything to you .

    After the amazing soundtrack for A Star is Born, Gaga is taking us back to her old routes and we are here for it. Chromatica shows us a new different Gaga when it comes to vocals, while we have an amazing beat making us dance and love the album even more with every song we listen to.

    Chromatica es el álbum conceptual que todos esperabamos de Lady Gaga. Al escucharlo por primera vez, es difícil de asimilar, con lo único con lo que te quedas es que es un trabajo cohesivo. Después de escucharlo una segunda vez, te das cuenta de todos los detalles en la producción, el significado y profundidad de las letras, contrastantes con respecto a la melodía de cada canción. La vozChromatica es el álbum conceptual que todos esperabamos de Lady Gaga. Al escucharlo por primera vez, es difícil de asimilar, con lo único con lo que te quedas es que es un trabajo cohesivo. Después de escucharlo una segunda vez, te das cuenta de todos los detalles en la producción, el significado y profundidad de las letras, contrastantes con respecto a la melodía de cada canción. La voz de Gaga se escucha más potente y dinámica, como no se había escuchado en sus anteriores álbumes. Los 3 actos del disco estan estructurados casi de manera perfecta, cada uno con una identidad propia. El inicio del álbum te transporta al mundo de Chromatica de una manera magistral. Alice es sin duda el mejor opening de cualquier álbum que Gaga haya creado. Las canciones destacadas son la anteriormente mencionada, Rain On Me con Ariana Grande (el sencillo perfecto), Free Woman, 911, Sour Candy con Blackpink, Enigma, Replay, Sine From Above con Elton John y Babylon.

    This record really sounds nothing like Gaga's previous bodies of art - those perfect club anthems following each other throughout the story of the world of Chormatica for sure will make everyone dance their fears away.

    Chromatica is the best album of 2020 alongside with Future Nostalgia by Dua Lipa!

    Updated 6/22/2020: 5 stars; her best album to date. Initial review was after one listen, and it was clearly already excellent upon immediate reaction.

    However, it takes time for some of the most brilliant tracks to standout, given they are cloaked with so many references to prior records, lyrics and her personal life (eg, manic episodes necessitating antipsychotics in “911,” the continuing and conflicting psychological distress arising from PTSD subsequent to rape in “Replay” and “Free Woman”), references to paparazzi, fame and monsters, etc.

    Truly, the lyrics of this Academy Award winning songwriter are her best to date. Most deserving of singles as of current constant repeat of Chromatica in its entirety (which MUST be listened to in the provided track list order for true intended effect):

    “Plastic Doll,” “Fun Tonight,” and “1000 Doves,” but solely due to them being perfect for radio, with the latter having a resemblance to “Edge Of Glory.” Arguably “Sour Candy” was also made for radio, but Gaga shines most when solo.

    However, it seems unfair to rate “standout” tracks based on quality, and thus I can only do so in terms of commercial context. Because this album, in its entirety, is like a cinematic masterpiece. The quality both begins and concludes impeccably. Everything is perfectly connected and intractable from the preceding or succeeding track; the three interludes are absolutely incredible and make the songs that much more impactful. Ideally, Chromatica would have been a visual album; each and every track deserves a video.

    As great as Gaga has always been, this is hands down her best work to date, and I cannot wait to see what she does next. And if Chromatica fails to win AOTY at the Grammys, I would be shocked.

    Initial review on day of album release:

    This is the sequel to “The Fame Monster,” both sonically and lyrically. In terms of quality, it’s the best work Gaga has produced since “Born This Way.” An incredibly eclectic album (as depicted by the collaborations alone, I.e Ariana Grande and Elton John), yet still remains extremely solid all the way through; there’s truly no fillers. Immediate standout tracks: Alice, Fun Tonight, 1000 Doves, Rain On Me. Only complaint is the lack of a classic Gaga ballad. Well worth the wait. 4.5/5 ⭐️

    Lady Gaga venceu, mais uma vez ela venceu e trouxe um álbum coeso, com batidas pop que vão de europop ao atual PC music, volta pro pop com a mesma maestria que seus álbuns de início de carreira e traz letras que vão de se libertar do alcoolismo ao feminismo. Plastic Doll a minha favorita do álbum no momento

    From beginning to the end, Lady Gaga’s most cohsive album. There is no bad song on this one. When you let yourself go with the rhythm, you will dance a lot but when you sit down and listen closely the lyrics, you will go deep into the dark side of her pain. Perfection.

    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.
