In spite of the lows, Chromatica assures you there is a silver lining after the storm has passed. Perhaps the biggest takeaway is to just dance your way through the pain, no matter how inescapable it might seem. Expand

    What a comeback! Chromatica serves disco and house inspired tracks with the campy notes that have differentiated Gaga's work from others for more than a decade.

Chromatica, even though it has a very retro insprired sound, keeps it fresh and sets new trends in music. The album doesn't stop, it keeps you dancing all the way through. It has a very serious feeling to it; songs have a very upbeat sound, but most lyrics are deeply personal. This aspect of the album gives the listener a very strong experience, and a new way of feeling pop music. The album is a very euphoric art piece, and can be easily described as a never-seen-before pop album filled with climaxes and euphoria. Personally, I think it will be as iconic and timeless as Gaga's early works: The Fame, The Fame Monster, or Born This Way. Expand

    A- Gaga took us to a new state of mind with hard hitting club tracks that cover trauma, love and self realization covered in a sci-fi journey called CHROMATICA .

    10/10 would recommend, the dark, sad truth behind the lyrics mixed with a 80’s/90’s beat not only brings this album back to her roots it’s a story in which Gaga battles through her pain. Best listened from the beginning to the end, not one single skip on the album. Every song on its own is a journey. Battle for your life!

    It's an amazing album! Chromatica is by far the Best Gaga's album. So well produced, the sounds, the beat, her voice is so powerfull and full of emotion. I love it! I was expecting something to different, she didnt let me down, this is pure Art! Hope every Gaga fans enjoy it and play it loud. Gaga nailed it again.

    At first, i didn't really like this album. Was a little disappointed. But by listening it again and again and again, it literally grew on me and I love it.
    It may sounds a little draft at some point or maybe there is too much at the same time in some song but Gaga experiments new things along with going back to dance-floor songs. And I like it.

    A whole immersion into Gaga's dancefloor. While being envolved by upbeat dance hits, it's as if you're being abducted to Chromatica with deep and faithful verses about what makes us all human. Fun, emotional and liberating. Easy to dance while crying, freeing yourself from everything that once, before Chromatica, kept you imprisoned.

    This album is totally classic dance pop gaga. Actually, I didn’t expect this album from lady gaga after the phenomenal a star is born soundtrack. All the songs have great production and good vocal. Standout tracks for me are definitely Replay and Sine from above. Love that gaga collaborates with so many artists.

It's Gaga with all the right notes. Slickly produced to perfection and lyrically authentic, this is what Gaga was born to do. You know she will make some good artistic choices, like A Star is Born and her album and tour with Tony Bennett, but returning to home base with such a strong album is a something she richly deserves. When she sings "This is my dancefloor, I fought for" there is so much truth wrapped up in that line. I've played it to death and it still excites me as much as the first listen. That's a rare gift.

    Gaga proves onces again she's meant to be a pop powerhouse, the instrumental breakthroughs in between songs make you feel like you're literally in another planet. All collabs hit different spots in the good way and some solo songs stand out such like alice and 911. Chromatica is Gaga's comeback to her dance pop roots and it's delightful to witness it. 10/10

    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.
