    I think this is Lady Gaga’s best album. Lyrically, conceptually, vocally, and visually. She did not disappoint with this album. This album is the definition of dancing through your pain and feeling healed at the end of it.

    não é ruim, apenas mediano. A maioria das músicas é esquecível.

    melhores músicas: 911, sour candy, enigma

    9/10 - A genius concept album with a sound that isn’t for everyone.

Holds radio hits (Rain On Me, Stupid Love) but the highlights of the album can be found in the lesser-known niche experimental tracks (911, Plastic Doll, Babylon). Gaga also knows how to blend her signature “weird pop” sound into more commercially friendly tracks, as seen in the success of “Sour Candy” and “911”, my personal favorites. This album is the perfect proof that Gaga can do it all; not to forget the impressive and beautiful interludes that section out the album and provide impressive transitions that are beyond ear candy. The only thing inching Chromatica away from a 10/10 is the way that certain tracks simply didn’t stick with me after a few listens. While I am able to note that a song is of high quality when listening, I struggled to recall certain songs that simply didn’t leave a massive impact in my mind (1000 Doves, Fun Tonight, Enigma). In sum, Gaga has done something that has not been done before with Chromatica, taking the highs out of each of her previous works and blending them into a near-flawless amalgamation.… Expand

    With this one Gaga made dance and pop music fashionable again. This album was "coming back" to her roots. And she did what she wanted. This is not pop music, this is Chromatica.

    Un disco que con valentía pretende ser un festejo del dance más bailable del que la mother monster nos ha nutrido esta última década. Con letras personales que se funden con ese sonido retro que te invita a darlo todo en la pista de baile.

    Lady Gaga logra crear su propio mundo fantástico y colorido en su sexto trabajo discográfico. Un álbum conceptual que en palabras de la propia Gaga la sanó y sirvió como terapia para afrontar algunos traumas personales y problemas de salud mental.

    "Chromatica" fue concebido como un álbum digno de ser escuchado de principio a fin. Una obra fuertemente influenciada por el haus, disco y    Lady Gaga logra crear su propio mundo fantástico y colorido en su sexto trabajo discográfico. Un álbum conceptual que en palabras de la propia Gaga la sanó y sirvió como terapia para afrontar algunos traumas personales y problemas de salud mental.

    "Chromatica" fue concebido como un álbum digno de ser escuchado de principio a fin. Una obra fuertemente influenciada por el haus, disco y EDM de los años 90's que se encuentra dividida en tres actos perfectamente diferenciados, cada uno precedido por un interludio que brinda una atmósfera de drama teatral y éxtasis colosal.

    Definitivamente la mezcla de sonidos es el gran acierto de este álbum, la transición entre canciones sucede de una forma muy cohesiva y armónica, "Chromatica II" a "911", y los inesperados cambios de ritmos resultan algo extraños al principio pero logran funcionar bastante bien, "Sine From Above" por mencionar un ejemplo. Por otro lado, la interpretación que Gaga hace de cada una de las canciones es apoteósica, claramente se nota una evolución en el control de su voz que se ve reflejada en el juego de tonos y armonías musicales que emplea, "Enigma" y "1000 Doves".

    En fin, Chromatica es un himno de fiesta, un sueño bailable, una fantasía electrónica-pop que nos recuerda y hace homenaje a la Gaga de sus inicios con trabajos como "The Fame" y "Born This Way".

    Chromatica knows what it’s doing. It is a journey through trauma, and an experience of healing in itself. Hearing the many nuances of storytelling within the production of this album - the way Replay sounds like musical trauma itself - this album is a perfect 10.

    Miss Gaga dives fully into the world of house and dance music. Reminiscent of some of the production found in Artpop she takes it to the next level in this album and it, ultimately, falls short.

Reminiscent of some of the production found in Artpop she takes it to the next level in this album and it, ultimately, falls short. Though I must say, I don’t necessarily blame her; I blame the fandom that she has gathered over the years. Her fandom seems to not be supportive of some of her more creative and artistic efforts, with some even ignoring the existence of her collaborative jazz albums. My personal favorite of hers, Joanne, is her most artistic and raw project to date yet it was dragged and labeled as a commercial “flop” specifically because her fans do not seem to support her unless she releases something that can be played at a club. Once again, an example of how her followers have made her put out something that, in my opinion, felt less inspired than other project in exchange for something that her fans would like more.

    Chromatica proves that Lady Gaga was not willing to take another risk right after the reception her fans had to Joanne and I do respect that. Taking creative risks can be scary. I am, however, excited for what the future holds for Gaga because even though Chromatica was simply not for me I still believe she is a brilliant star.    … Expand

    Grandioso e igênuo. Potente e vulnerável. Altruísta e doloroso. Difícil julgar os sentimentos de alguém, esses são mais do que o tema central aqui. Me perco um pouco na organização das faixas, não entendo bem o storytelling, mas, a mensagem é clara e evidente. 8.9 - ganha pontos pela execução e conceito - produção de ponta!

    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.
