    Just perfect. Every song could be released as a single. My favorites are 911, Replay, Sine from Above, well pretty much all of them. It’s that good.

    10/10. This is an album with all the escense of Gaga, the powerfull, dark and sad lyrics but with an electric-pop production that maybe remind “ARTPOP”, but no. Now she give us “Babylon”a song so cool with the rithym of house dance, it is so fckin cool! Its like a “Black Jesus Amen Fashion 2.0”, time for walk and feellin fine, like the missunderstud “Fashion!”

    And for all that people that say that Lady Gaga is weird on her music or infravalorated for songs like “Replay”, I just say what Lady Gaga said once time ago on an interview: “When people said that they think know what Lady Gaga is, I just probe all of them that they don’t know what Lady Gaga is”. NO ONE IN THIS EARTH KNOW IT! so please mature and grow as a person:). This is her best album yet    … Expand

    ‘‘Esta es mi pista de baile, peleé por ella’’ menciona Gaga en la canción Free Woman y definitivamente sabe porque lo dice, con este álbum vino a romper las discotecas, dejando en alto sus raíces de artista mainstream, y su reputación, con canciones que ponen a bailar a cualquiera.

Fun Tonight deja ver a flor de piel sus capacidades de composición, sin embargo, temas como Plastic Doll, 1000 Doves, 911 recuerda mucho a sus trabajos anteriores, claro que no se está diciendo que sea negativo, pero lleva a nuestro siguiente punto, la casi nula reinvención del sonido y la poca experimentación, son fórmulas que ya ha repetido y si, siguen funcionando, pero no era la Gaga que conocíamos, que alteraba todo lo que lo mainstream nos venía mostrando y le daba un giro de 180°. Fallando también en la composición y producción de Sour Candy, la canción más alejada del sonido de todo el álbum, la cual parece ser dos canciones totalmente diferentes al momento del verso de Black Pink y el de ella. Los problemas con los Build up o crescendos que no suben, ni explotan bien, más bien dejan a este tema y a Free Woman, que llega a ser salvada en el puente, con el coro muy plano y flojo.
    Pero bueno no todo en el álbum es malo, es uno, sino es que es, de los mejores trabajos de Gaga en cuanto a producción, con canciones como Alice, Rain on me, Babylon, Replay, Enigma y Sine From Above, que tienen un sonido muy bueno ,algunas rompen un poco con lo mainstream que estábamos acostumbrados, donde supo combinar perfectamente los géneros presentes, tener un sonido limpio que no se había escuchado en sus trabajos y su excelente voz que destaca muchísimo, los efectos del autotune exagerado y los graves que se encuentran en todo el LP, muy bien trabajados. Además de que en Sine From Above y Enigma da uso de instrumentos clásicos mezclándolos con beats dance pop, sin duda la línea de sonido que más experimenta en este disco y en las otras canciones mencionadas el acortar el coro cantado y los versos para que los beats y sonidos sean los protagonistas es el toque perfecto de este álbum.
    No se puede decir que el disco es malo, porque sería una vil mentira, es demasiado bueno, es nostálgico para aquellos fans que querían el sonido de The Fame Monster, Born This Way y Artpop, sino que esos álbumes, o por lo menos los primeros dos, se concentraban en romper con lo que estaba escrito y lo que se estaba haciendo, algo que ‘‘Chromatica’’ no se acerca a lograr, siguiendo el hilo de lo mainstream, pero más oscuro y deep algo que solo Gaga sabe hacer. Es evidente que la Mother Monster volvió más fuerte que nunca, pero no puede olvidar por qué es Lady Gaga, por reinventar y traer un sonido atrevido al mundo del pop, cosa que con ‘’Chromatica’’ dejo a medias. Sin embargo, lo más claro aquí es que Lady Gaga hizo, probablemente, uno de los mejores trabajos de este año.    … Expand

    Mesmo depois do álbum "Joanne" que tinha uma proposta mais intimista, é em Chromatica que Gaga parece realmente expurgar sua angústia e seus monstros interiores. Feito com um Pop que remete ao início da carreira da cantora, mas aqui soando de uma forma coesa do início ao fim do disco.

This is probably her most cohesive album and the fact that she was singing "normal" music a couple years ago from A Star is Born and now is taking us on a whole new direction of Synth Dance House goodness - just proves why this is a must listen.

    The mixing of the vocals complement Lady Gaga's vocals - where it isn't too overproduced like her earlier works. The sound of the album is a homage to early house music but with modern twists and that Gaga flare. It sounds nostalgic and new, all at the same time.

El piano ochentero presente durante toda la pista sumado a que no era una versión final, solo nos había dejado con un mal sabor de boca y queriendo advertir a Gaga -a gritos- que no iba por buen camino hciendo que nos preguntemos si realmente a Gaga le interesaba o estaba dispuesta a retomar su carrera y elevar la vara como ella misma lo había hecho no menos de hace una década atrás. “Bienvenidos a Chromatica” nos introduce Gaga a su nuevo material distópico donde ninguna cosa es mejor que otra al puro estilo de Alicia en el País de las Maravillas.
    El álbum se encuentra divido en tres partes por sus interludios Chromatica I, II y III. Alice es la canción que nos da la bienvenida. “… My name isn’t Alice but I keep lookin’ for, looKin’ for, lookin’ for Wonderland… “, una mezcla algo cliché de letras y ritmo pero que cumple su trabajo, darnos el primer shock y dejarnos sedientos por más. Para nuestra decepción, no encontramos nuestro País de las Maravillas; Stupid Love entra como segunda pista y nos deja agobiados y resentidos por aquel primer intento arruinado de Gaga...".

    Lady Gaga has proved again her worth as an artist as if she has something else to prove. Chromatica maybe too familiar but it doesn't mean that it's not enjoyable. With its incredible songwriting, heart-thumping beats and amazing collaborators such as Blackpink, Ariana and Elton --- this could easily well be an album to beat for the many years to come.

    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

    O álbum é perfeito. Não tem nenhum defeito. Extremamente coerente, músicas dançantes com uma bela mensagem em suas entrelinhas.

    Un album muy genérico, cada canción suena igual, nada innovador, lo mismo de siempre, liricas regulares, colaboraciones desesperadas, esta muriendo.

    Lady Gaga has dived head-first into loud, feel-good pop music after a (pretty good) visit to the world of acoustic guitars and ballads - and I couldn't be happier.

    Chromatica takes heavy influence from 90s house music, with every song having a deep and driving drum beat, and enough layers to make a wedding cake.

    Chromatica takes heavy influence from 90s house music, with every song having a deep and driving drum beat, and enough layers to make a wedding cake. The lyrics on this project are hit-and-miss, with somewhat touching lines on Fun Tonight, 911, etc. but then you've got kind of generic pop lyrics on tracks such as Stupid Love and Alice. But then again, you don't go into an album like this expecting wonderful poetry - you want a good time. And Chromatica certainly delivers on that.

    I love the orchestral and classical opener and interludes; they add a bit of uniqueness and spice to a track-list otherwise teetering on the edge of repetitiveness. And I can't finish this review without talking about the closing track Babylon - a nod to Madonna's Vogue, with great wordplay (Babylon / babble on), a choir and catchy beat; it's definitely the best track on the album. The amount of times I've strutted around my house like I'm on a runway, going 'serve it, ancient city style' is insane.

    The only thing stopping this being a perfect album in my opinion is the lack of experimentation (the most experimental track here is Sine From Above, which I don't even like) and maybe it could have done with some more personal and epic songs. Nonetheless, Chromatica is a joy to listen to and it's one of my favourite albums released this year.    … Expand

    Chromatica is a wonderful album where we can discover even more of our Mother Monster’s personality. She decided to expose herself to us, entirely.

    Wow. Ask Gaga and you shall receive. Even though her past three albums weren't as successful as "The Fame" & "Born This Way", Lady Gaga definitely made it up with "CHROMATICA".

    The entire LP is filled with remarkable dance tracks giving off messages of healing and pain in such creative ways. "Plastic Doll" is my favorite track, in which Gaga acknowledges she fits the requirements of    Wow. Ask Gaga and you shall receive.

    The entire LP is filled with remarkable dance tracks giving off messages of healing and pain in such creative ways. "Plastic Doll" is my favorite track, in which Gaga acknowledges she fits the requirements of being the "perfect popstar", but confesses that society dehumanizing artists brings her pain.

    This is exactly why Gaga is where she is now. The way she tells stories through song. The catchy pop beats that catch our attention. The electrifying feeling throughout. It's literal perfection.

    Sure, you might hate Gaga or "pop songs" or whatever, but you gotta admit it's a great record.    … Expand

    I'm still speechless with the stutterer, she's a type of artist that we don't see today. She has art, she has talent and above all, she has love and humility. Gaga, you are unique.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Minha querida diva Lady Gaga, você deu tudo o que a gente queria (ou teria dado se não lhe faltasse força de vontade pra lançar single). Mas fez um álbum com um conceito que se inicia épico e encerra elegante. A união das diferentes partes do álbum com interlúdios, organização entre as três partes do álbum e a capacidade de manter a coerência e uniformidade sem se tornar entediante é algo incrível de ser alcançado em um projeto tão extraordinário, Toma aqui seu 10 que você ia levar de qualquer jeito porque sou puxa-saco também.… Expand

    It's quite a good album, I didn't LOVE some songs but 1000 Doves and Sine from above are true bops that I will regularly listen to from now on

    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.
