    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.

It's a much more digestible album than ARTPOP and Born This Way for the general public, but it still sounds repetitive on some tracks and quite frantic and disjointed, but most of the songs are generally strong and varied.… Expand

    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.

    Missed opportunity: The ballad version of 1000 Doves in the Deluxe edition should have been on the regular album, it's special.    … Expand

    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.

    Asombroso, Gaga demuestra con este disco porque está más vigente que nunca luego de 12 años de carrera, sigue dando en el clavo e innovando en sus discos.

    This is probably Gaga's magnum opus. Highlights are Alice, Free Woman, 911, Sine from Above and Babylon. The whole record is a good damn trip to the world of Chromatica.

    A good albüm with a nice comeback from Gaga. It’s nice to see her going back to her roots after wrong directions like Joanne/Artpop

    This is such an amazing album. It is cohesive, and disco, euro-pop genre is dominating on the album.
    This is the vocally, the best Gaga album ever. Vocals are clear, powerful and intriguing.
    Personal favorites: 911, Alice, Replay, Sine From Above, Babylon, Enigma, Sour Candy, Rain On Me, Free Woman

    After listening to the whole #Chromatica, I am proud of this ultra-woman who continues to innovate and mold us with vulnerability, humanity, courage and TALENT! It is more of a privilege to be your child and to be alive to witness this evolution.

    Y llego godga a traer arte, obviamente llegaran tablas y gatas llorando a ponerle una baja puntuación porque son unas ardidas de que gaga sea patrona de sus favs todas cul3ras
    Que grande eres godga, cag4ndote siempre en la tabla y la gata que pasa la daisies
    Y no olvidar a las maderas que siguen de ardidas de que godga tenga más relevancia que su abuelita pasando la mierd4m XX x

    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.

    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.
