    A masterpiece! She shines in a way she hasn’t ever before. Beautiful interludes like “Chromatica 1”! The strings of the violin just pull at the strings of your heart. Tracks such as “Replay” and “1000 Doves” makes you want to dance right where you are! Getting very personal on tracks such as, “911” and “Fun Tonight” while having extremely fun and catchy beats and sounds!!!

    The perfect comeback for the queen of the dance floors! Evaluating the lyrics, I think the biggest message in chromatics is about embracing your pain. The album makes us, at times, feel our pains and at the same time want to dance with them and Lady Gaga seems to encourage us to do both at the same time.

    An absolutely stunning album! Not a single bad track here- Alice, 911, Plastic Doll, and Sine from Above were personal favorites. She really outdid herself, this is the album we’ve all been waiting for!

    Chromatica soa como uma verdadeira sessão de terapia rolando no meio das pistas de dança nos anos 80. Gaga pega na sua mão e te leva pro universo de Chromatica onde você pode ser livre, ter seus medos, suas frustrações e mesmo diante disso ser grato e deixar sua mente livre pra dançar

    This is Lady Gaga's most personal, introspective and more mature album.
    Her best album, without a doubt.

    Back and with a lot of nostalgia ... Lady Gaga has the best possible return to Pop, her collaborations and her solo songs on this album are really incredible, this is very contagious and vibrant.

    This album saved my life!❤️

    12 years into her career, and she can STILL put some awesome album. BURNS was so good on the album. Keep going LG, because you just dropped the album of the year. We’ll know with time if it’s her best album so far.

    I’m not rating this as a Lady Gaga stan, I’m rating this as a music producer. Chromatica is a record that reaches people in so many ways. Each song on this album hits me in different ways and I relate to each one. This is my favorite album by Lady Gaga because it’s the first of hers that I truly connect to.

Chromatica is a record that reaches people in so many ways. Each song on this album hits me in different ways and I relate to each one. This is my favorite album by Lady Gaga because it’s the first of hers that I truly connect to. Each song is so unique and creative, and really dives into the 80s dance/pop. Chromatica modernizes the 80s, and with the main producers BloodPop, BURNS, and Tchami bringing their own flare to this beautifully crafted piece which adds to its complexity. On the surface it may give off a simplistic vibe, but after a few listens to each song you can really envelop yourself into the meaning. However the songs don’t just have one meaning. Everyone finds so many different meanings in each song based on their own personal experiences. My personal favorite on Chromatica and her discography, “Replay,” really explains the deep pain and struggle of PTSD which is something I too struggle with. It’s trancy, psychedelic, and hypnotic. It really grabs you and pulls you in. However one of my more favorite moments of the album is the transition from “Chromatica II” into “911.” On my first listen of the album in full my jaw dropped. Her vocals on this song give off a GLaDOS (From “Portal” and “Portal 2”) vibe and it’s cute. Though the song is about taking anti-psychotics, it’s highly catchy. This whole record is an emotional journey that you can dance to. Each song is so independent of each other, but plays an important role and adds to the cohesion of the story. Frankly this is, in my opinion, Lady Gaga’s best record in her whole discography. She really let's go of her pain and she shows us her truth. Every single song off of this piece of art is brilliant. Even though many fans and stans may not be happy we aren’t getting certain songs right now, or may never, it’s still a wonderful collection of dance music. This record has been used to compare works such as “Future Nostalgia” by Dua Lipa, and “folklore” by Taylor Swift. None of these albums compares to it or to each other because they are great in their own right. Chromatica truly embodies emotion, healing, bravery, and self-discovery. The more you listen, the better it gets. I haven’t stopped listening to this record, I can’t stop listening. I’ve tried going back to previous albums of hers, but it’s so hard because of my connection to these songs. This work of art doesn’t need to break insane boundaries to be magnificent, but it does. It breaks personal boundaries, and frankly I think that’s better than anything. There’s nothing about this that I don’t love, and I will never stop suggesting this album to anyone. It’s perfect.… Expand

    First things first: #ALBUMOFTHEYEAR⚔
    The album is outstanding, memorable, emotional and enjoyable.
    The transitions in the Chromatica acts are mesmerising and they run smoothly into the songs, also the lyrics make sense and they are a healing therapeutic for Gaga. All 3 collabs are enjoyable and entertaining and they all mean something in their own way. For me this is Gagas best album and    First things first: #ALBUMOFTHEYEAR⚔

    A complete, pure, holy dance pop record. A record that will be cherished by the dance world. Every song Gaga sounds nothing but confident. All the beats are well curated. Banger album. Definitely one of her best works till today.

    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.
