    Es uno de los mejores trabajos que ha realizado desde The Fame Monster, un álbum muy personal, con sonidos frescos y nuevos. Lady Gaga ha sabido darle un toque Gaga con Dancin In Circles y un toque más Lady en Joanne o Ángel Down. No se hacía donde nos podrá llevar esta nueva era pero si bien creo que bastante lejos.

    Joanne is completely different from the others Lady Gaga's albums, however it doesn't make less special, this album brings new rhythms, and more personal lyrics that make that album great to the little monsters who had waited over of three years since artpop

    Gaga's most personal album to date proves to fans and critics alike that she doesn't have to make full on pop music for the music to still be great. This album reveals her powerful vocals that are mostly notable on 'Million Reasons' and 'Joanne' and songs like 'Dancin' In Circles' and 'A-YO' are fun and catchy, just like the music 'old' Gaga used to make.

    It is good to have gaga back again. Compared to her last solo album ARTPOP, Joanne is more simple and understandable. Personally speaking, I am not bored when playing this album over and over again. My favorite track goes to Sinner's Prayer.

    Absolutely amazing. A breath of fresh air from the basic bubblegum pop music based around the same chords. A true artistic statement. Amazing raw vocals that translate viscerally.

    Gaga accomplishes giving us 5 completely different eras, and this one's main characteristic is being Gaga uncovered. From dealing with her breakup to mourning her late aunt, Joanne tells a story. This album raised the bar on Gaga's musicality and radicalization of sounds. This gives us a much more fresher take on her than what ARTPOP tried to accomplish.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "Joanne" es fascinante, inquietante y un tanto escalofriante; la era "Cheek to Cheek" le di un gran apoyo vocal a este grandioso álbum. Este es un álbum explosivo en géneros musicales, dejando lo que se esta llevando en la actualidad, como el Rock, Country (que ha sido una gran base para este álbum), Alternativo, Indie y Dance-Hall, todo esto pasándolo por el filtro tan característico que es el de gaga, Pop. Canciones tan movidas, que por esta se ha caracterizado gaga, como: "Diamond Heart", "A-YO" y "Dancin´ in Circles"; canciones para cantar a gritos como lo es "John Wayne", "Perfect Illusion" y el brutal "Angel Down"; canciones para sentirse con felicidad como estas: "Just Another Day", "Hey Girl" (con Florence Welch), "Come to Mama" o la cancion mas country del album "Sinner´s Prayer"; lo mas conmisionador para recordar viejos momentos como son: "Joanne", "Million Reasons", "Grigio Girls" o el work tape diseñado por el magnifico RedOne, "Angel Down".
    Cada canción es tan única, teniendo su propio es espacio en el disco, tan conmovedora, que los críticos en sus reseñas no entienden por la conceptualización del álbum; canciones tan criticas como lo son "Come to Mama" o "Sinner’s Prayer", es lo que forman este regresa tan inesperado de la extravagante y única Lady Gaga o "Mother Monster" para los "Little Monsters". 10/10    … Expand

    Eu sou um grande fã da Gaga desde Poker Face em 2009, mas também não sou cego para não ver que tudo na vida dela mudou, eu não esperava um álbum ao estilo "The Fame" ou "Born This Way", e confesso que me surpreendi com o "Joanne", quando ouvi "Perfect Illusion", eu fiquei apreensivo quanto ao estilo que o, até então, LG5 poderia tomar, cheguei a pensar num álbum de rock.

Porém ela nos apresenta um álbum country-pop, aí chego no critério utilizado por mim para justificar um 9 e não um 10. O ínicio do álbum nos introduz à um trabalho genuinamente pop, porém uma queda brusca no estilo ocorre entre as faixas 2 e 4. "Joanne", a faixa-título, aparece numa posição que atrapalha seu brilho. Porque todos estavam dançando ao som de A-Yo e depois voltam com Dancin' In Circles, e Joanne quebra a vibe pop do álbum. então ocorre Perfect Illusion. Uma faixa disco-rock, num álbum country-pop, agora sim, Gaga foi longe demais. Depois vem "Million Reasons' uma mudança brusca de estilos musicais novamnte, mas após isso o estilo do álbum se assenta, e assume a identidade até seu fim, com faixas um pouco mais agitadas como "Come To Mama" e algumas um pouco mais calmas como "Angel Down". Tendo os fatores citados acima como referência, espero ter justificado minha nota.… Expand

    without her eccentricity and eagerness to lead others along an artistic path that differentiates from other artists, gaga seems almost identityless on joanne. however, if you're a fan of country-infused pop rock, this album is really worth a listen, if not just for gaga's incredible talent as a vocalist. the songs on here are all sincere, down-to-earth and relatable pop fusions.

    Impecável. Não deixou a desejar em nada. Trouxe uma Lady Gaga muito diferente daquela que promovia excesso de EDM barulhento em suas músicas. Álbum maravilhoso e coeso.

    Unfortunately, therein lies the biggest problem with Joanne: for every time that Gaga seemingly breaks free of her shackles and embraces something more “real,” she quickly scuttles back into her comfort zone and hides behind glistening production. This probably isn’t quite the sound of the real Stefani Germanotta, but if you squint hard enough there’s a semblance of a real person in amongst the pop haze.

    Joanne is certainly not the all-conquering opus it was intended to be and will prove divisive, but it remains a daring and exciting record, delivered from one of modern pop’s most unique and singular voices.
