    On this album, she wanted to show her absolute love for electronic dance music. The main themes revolve around the maintenance of mental health, healing of traumas, empowerment, reflections on her life and the search for happiness, despite the adversities.

    Lady Gaga vuelve más fuerte que nunca. Con un disco EDM para no dejar que te sientes ni un minuto. Sonidos muy frescos. Recuerda a sus orígenes. Excelente trabajo!

    Gaga returns to pop serving an homage to 90s and early 00s dance music. It’s melodiously chaotic infused with very introspective lyrics and thundering dance beats. Chromatica is her more cohesive album and continues the legacy begun by Born This Way and ARTPOP. Brava Stefani Brava!!!

    It is by no means a perfect album - some songs feel like unnecessary additions and there are times where the production reduces the impact of Gaga's powerhouse voice - but, it's such a great return to form. Media and non-fans often echo that her time is up, but this record shows that she is an original and can still compete with the new exciting players after so many years.

    Best tracks: Sine from above, 911, Alice, Fun tonight, Free Woman
    Worst tracks: Enigma, Plastic Doll
    Missed opportunity: The ballad version of 1000 Doves in the Deluxe edition should have been on the regular album, it's special.

    An album to listening to the first track to the last one with no skip.
    Gaga include symphonic interludes on her new record and it's change the whole experience! Especially the transition between Chromatica II and 911.
    She returned to her pop domination.

    As an avid fan it’s hard for any album to top Born This Way! But this album has all the elements to make it a perfect pop record! No skips, every song has a story and it is sonically cohesive.. Gaga wanted to make us dance through our pain and she did exactly that. Favorites: Alice, 911 and Sine From Above!

    Gaga's most cohesive and focused work to date. If Born This Way was her 80's inspired industrial record, Chromatica is her 90's eurodance inspired record.

    This album is the return of Gaga to her one and only legendary Classic persona, that one that we saw since TF until ARTPOP. The extravaganza and the POP CULTURE inside this album is everything that the gay community asks for her, spatially in this moment so dark and confused that we're all living right now.

    Honestamente ARTPOP era mi disco favorito de Lady Gaga por todo lo que rodeaba a su creación, el significado que ella le dio a todo, etc. Chromatica me ha sorprendido por lo bien producido que está, no me sobra ninguna canción y además adoro la dedicación que le han dado a que el disco se deba escuchar de principio a fin sin olvidar las overturas. Yo le doy mi 10 por todo.

    Em apenas 43 minutos, Lady Gaga ressuscita as raízes do pop e se mantém mais forte do que nunca desde “Born This Way”. O álbum é o espetacular, criativo e único. A melhor do álbum certamente é “Alice”, que faz referência à antiga história de “Alice no País das Maravilhas”.

O álbum é o espetacular, criativo e único. A melhor do álbum certamente é “Alice”, que faz referência à antiga história de “Alice no País das Maravilhas”. As interludes (Chromatica I, II e III) encaminham o ouvinte para outra fase do álbum sem deixar que a conexão musical seja perdida, por meio de transições graduais entre as músicas. Durante as faixas “Chromatica II” e “911”, a cantora retorna a ARTPOP (2013), criando uma música extremamente enigmática e conceitual, em que ela pede socorro por estar psicologicamente abalada. Já a canção “Sine From Above”, possui a melhor composição do álbum. Seus versos são encantadores e os vocais de Elton John combinam perfeitamente com os de Lady Gaga. O álbum finaliza com Babylon que, por mais que não seja uma das melhores do álbum, consegue concluir o álbum de uma maneira fantástica. Esse (com certeza) é o melhor álbum Pop dos últimos tempos e a Gaga se superou em todos os sentidos. Parabéns, Lady Gaga, pelo melhor trabalho de sua vida. Expand

    Lady Gaga finally did exactly what her fans wanted: a bland and generic pop album. It lacks the adventurous overblown songs of Artpop or the perfectly well crafted takes of The Fame Monster and Born This Way. It delivers something that isn't neither experimental or catchy enough. It's not a bad album, but we've learned to expect a lot more from Gaga. The early 2000s dance music influencesLady Gaga finally did exactly what her fans wanted: a bland and generic pop album. It lacks the adventurous overblown songs of Artpop or the perfectly well crafted takes of The Fame Monster and Born This Way. It delivers something that isn't neither experimental or catchy enough. It's not a bad album, but we've learned to expect a lot more from Gaga. The early 2000s dance music influences are a great idea that never really meets the right song to shine, making the album sound more outdated than fresh. It's also Gaga's least ambitious record, she really isn't trying anything new, it's the first time we can say she is playing totally safe, there isn't a great message or theme here, its just like a collection of songs to dace to, and the songs aren't even that good. Highlights are 911 and the Elton John collaboration Sine From Above, which hint to places she could have explored more, overall its a pretty forgettable album that will probably be left out of her catalog as soon as the next one arrives.

    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.
