    Falta originalidade, um álbum com músicas batidas, nem feats com artistas modernos como Ariana Grande e BlackPink foram capazes de mudar o tédio de ouvir esse álbum.

    Overproduced, simplistic music. Her vocals aren’t nearly as interesting as they used to be on her earlier albums, even though they may be more “impressive” to a vocal coach. Babylon is the only good song.

    gaga has always been below par with her music since the fame monster and this is a new low. Yes the album s*cks and so did the numerous projects before it. It's time we forget gaga and the music industry bids her goodbye.

    Lady GaGa comes back with a new genre of music after her country-esque album Joanne flopped in 2016. This time the album is filled with annoying and dated instrumentals. The lyrics are tacky and lack common sense. Highlights include Sour Candy feat. an unkown girl group from China?, 911 and Enigma.
    All the other tracks are mediocre at best. Plastic Doll and Fun Tonight are probably GaGa's

    I expected something like “Born this way” but I was bored this way. I know she’s really talented but I believe that this album is unbearable. While I was listening to it I thought that I had accidentally clicked on the repeat button. Except for the duet with Arianna Grande (mostly due to her distinct voice) I still can’t remember any other song.

    The worst Lady Gaga's album, It sounds like if we are listenning an 1 hour song. She used the same sample like Katy Perry, and Babylon sounds just like Madonna's Vogue. Overall...basic, generic and nothing new.

    How disappointing this listen was? I understand it's hard to be objective when you are following an artist to a point of stanning (and pop stars seem to always have such followings) but I don't understand how fans don't feel let down by this record. Through 16 tracks you have 3 completely out of place interludes which, with their lush orcherstral arrangements emphasize the basic soundsHow disappointing this listen was? I understand it's hard to be objective when you are following an artist to a point of stanning (and pop stars seem to always have such followings) but I don't understand how fans don't feel let down by this record. Through 16 tracks you have 3 completely out of place interludes which, with their lush orcherstral arrangements emphasize the basic sounds that will follow. Elsewhere, the record is struggling to find a melody, or worse, a chorus. It reeks of cheap tricks to get streaming points and that chart success - from the interludes, to exetremely short running time of songs, to unnecessary A-list featurings which will definitely generate the streams. But was it really necessary to drag someone of Elton John-s stature to sing on that? Like really, given the Gaga-s reputation you'd imagine they'd go for a power ballad if they ever decide they should naturally recall together. Why any of these two stooped this low is beyond me. I give it 2 points for an amazingly slick production which never bores *what can bore you at 2 mins though), but that's just how far an impressive producing can get you. Expand

    The album is predictable, flat and cheap. There are no complicated melody lines or harmonies unlike in Artpop. This record will become boring in less than 2 weeks. This album like instagram feed, you scroll took your dopamine and forget. I do not believe this EP will become timeless. Madonna did much better work on her Madame X, although it is not my favorable album at all.

    this album is a thousand times overrated, some songs seem just plagiarized just to hear "Babylon" that looks like Madonna's "Vogue". An album is being acclaimed only because it is lady gaga otherwise nobody would have calculated it. Basic songs, which honestly don't know anything about me, not to mention "Rain on Me" classic pop song ready to disappear in the following days.

"Chromatica" is a mix of recycled sounds that, by the end of the album all blend together. Nothing stands out, and the tracks that catch a little bit of one's attention are either collaborations, or songs that remind us a bit too much of someone else's work (hello there, Babylon!). This album would be ok for a new artist just cutting the cord from some good years working for Disney. For Lady Gaga it is a new low, which is not the worst because the creepy and distasteful collaboration with R Kelly still exists, despite being conveniently removed right before the Oscar's ceremony.

    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.
