    Um álbum pop muito bom, porém enjoativas repetições em suas músicas, com melodias parecida

    —Evanesims, 2021

    Yeah, agreed. I probably prefer white noise from Sine From Above and Alice, plus the overall silence after playing the whole album resonates how its just made for art and not to be listened to again.    … Expand

    Interesante volver a ver a Lady Gaga y sentir su música como la década pasada, no obstante la necesidad de vigencia al tratar de reunir a varios exponentes dentro de un solo disco es tan decepcionante, teniendo tanto poder en Mujer Libre, Babilonia, Estúpido Amor y Llueve sobre mi, nos ha otorgado grandes canciones para mantener la cuarentena y esperar salir de ella de una mejor manera.

    Chromatica is good album, but not her best. Tired of listening in a month. Stupid Love is my favourite

    An okayish album, not special or spectacular. Kinda basic and generic. No real ups though. A typical ringtone album, every song is the same...

    Top 3: 911, 1000 Doves, Alice

    Un disco ni malo ni bueno a mi criterio. Podríamos hablar de algo mejor. Como singles único salvado gracias a ariana grande Rain on me. Situación que no me es grata la canción, para tema os Fun tonight y 911.

    Loved the album just wished she remembered that she's released a new album, She focusing on other things than something she's been working on for a few years.

    Gaga is trying to get back to her dance-pop roots here. Lyrically, it's good. Sonically, I'm not a big fan of it. I feel like I've heard most of the productions on the last part. I had mixed feelings about this album.

    I didn’t know what to not pay attention to it was a whole mess but it has some really nice songs such as Babylon and rain on me.

    This album has very promising aesthetics and some very good songs. Sadly, I felt like it was overproduced way too many times.

    It could be the perfect pop comeback, but things were overdone. It's still a good album one can definitely vibe with.    … Expand

    Es un álbum agradable, sin embargo Lady Gaga retrocede dos pasos después de Star Is a Born, después de darnos dos albums maduros, regresa a sus inicios de una manera un poco más perdida en un intento de regresar a la gloria, sin embargo no quita el hecho de que Fun Tonight y Sour Candy son canciones realmente agradables.

    At first I was overwhelmed by the production, not really my cup of tea I find that most songs sound like remixes because so much is happening in the production but some ongs are starting to grow on me

    Seguindo uma linha tênue entre electro pop e house music, Lady Gaga oferece mais um pouco do mesmo de sempre.

    Em seu sexto álbum de estúdio entitulado de 'Chromatica', Lady Gaga mais uma vez mergulha na raiz de seu estilo musical primário (Electro Music), responsável pelo seu primordial sucesso no 'The Fame', porém com influências house music, estilo já apresentado por Madonna nos anos 90 em sua icônica e atemporal 'Vogue', mas Gaga parece insistir em uma sonoridade datada, chinfrim e básica. De fato, em seu mais novo álbum, a cantora expressa que o mesmo foi responsável por sua cura espiritual, podendo até mesmo ter sido o agente motivador da sua melhora no seu curioso caso de depressão, mas por sorte não podemos dizer o mesmo dos ouvidos de quem o ouve. Chromatica revela uma fase persistente de Lady Gaga e a sua incapacidade de superar seu tão cobiçado e aclamado auge artístico em 2009. Em contra partida, a interprete de 'Bad Romance' entrega boates de cunho experimental em 'Sine From Above', que mesmo com a presença de 12 compositores para realizar tal façanha, possui batidas frenéticas, eletrizantes e contagiantes. Em 2018, Lady Gaga mergulhou na graça das radios contemporâneas com seu hit 'Shallow' e o aclamado/premiado 'A Star Is Born', o que poderia ter iniciado uma fase totalmente madura e ponderada, mas ao que parece, tal sucesso não foi o suficiente para fazer Gaga sair de sua bolha eletrônica, mas como a própria cantora diz 'Faça pelos gays', mas é uma pena que os mesmos não fariam tal sacrifício por ela. Desse modo, 'Chromatica' é uma aposta, uma aposta falha e repetitiva.    … Expand

    Ngl I don't get the hype for this album. I have given it multiple listens but except the 4 songs released as singles, I can't even bear to hear the rest. The lyrical quality is also not there. Just another Gaga album grossly overhyped by her fans. Give it a listen and you will know.

    Though this album wasn't all that great but there are some shining moments in her album. She could've done a bit more and maybe replaced 3-4 songs then it would've been a solid 8 for me.

Kinda disappointed with sour candy, I love blackpink so I was excited to listen to that one song in specific, but it was super bland. My favorite songs are Chromatica II, 911, babylon and sine from above.… Expand

    I love Lady Gaga that is why I am rating this generously at 4. The album felt forced. It felt like after her previous work of "Joanne" and "A star is born" she wanted to reclaim her roots so she made this album to remind you that she is still that same Lady Gaga. The arrangement wasn't that good. There were song that I was waiting for the bass drop but it never came at the right time. SomeI love Lady Gaga that is why I am rating this generously at 4.

    It lives up to expectations. Chromatica II / 911 transition alone. Alice, Replay, Rain On Me, Sour Candy, Babylon just straight up bangers. She deserved better.

    There are some good songs here & there, but, overall, they all sound the same. The tracks are generic, nothing that hasn’t been heard before. It is, although, a cohesive body of work.

    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.
