El disco es fantástico, los sonidos que utiliza Lady Gaga aquí son muy interesantes y variados (nada para sorprenderse porque Lady Gaga siempre se ha caracterizado por experimentar). Su voz está apenas retocada en ciertos tracks, lo que nos ofrece una voz auténtica y limpia. Lo que hace a Joanne tan bueno es que es diferente de sus predecesores, y sin embargo,tiene algo de la clásica Gaga. Sin exagerar, el mejor album del año.… Expand

    Se desprendendo do Pop clichê e provando novos ares, Joanne, quinto álbum de estúdio de Lady Gaga, expõem o quão maravilhoso é quando artistas conseguem se reinventar e continuar fazendo um bom trabalho. Com sutilezas adquiridas do country, rock, soul embasadas em um pop com melodias suaves e poderosas, Mrs Joanne, transborda em qualidades.

    Such a beautiful album with incredible, emotional vocals. The only reason people are giving this negative reviews is because it's not typical EDM top 40 club music or they're pressed stans who do not appreciate good music. Quite sad that they cannot respect other artists work. Joanne, Angel Down and Diamond Heart are very strong points in this album, very powerful with catchy hooks.

    This new album show's a whole new side to gaga where the focus is on her music and her voice. There is no fillers on the album and in terms of music quality this is most likely gaga's best album yet. Personal favorites on the album is the beautiful ballads Joanne, Angel down and Million reasons along with the upbeat rock/pop track Diamond heart and dancin in circles, the alejandro of this album.

    She has changed her direction to give people real music when everyone is following the EDM train nowadays just to be successful on the charts. Such a great artist and album. It will bring people to the classic music aka real music. And without a doubt it's her best work to date and the best album of 2016 so far, brilliant lyrics, professional production & incredible vocals.

    Ten years and four studio albums into her career, this is where Mother Monster shows a complete new, versatile side of her. Joanne isn't the type of pop record you'd expect Gaga to make, and that's what makes this album so phenomenal. Lady Gaga is the One - Unpredictable and always changing.

    This album is giving me life, with powerful vocals and catchy choruses is definitely one of the best albums of the year. All tracks are powerful and potential singles. But the calm music fulfill their role brilliantly leaving you with tears and wanting another dose. Gaga is back with personal lyrics that convey all that is expected when it comes to a new release of her art.

    It's Amazing, best Lady Gaga album since the perfect 'Born This Way', but I think that the time will make 'Joanne' even better, after the fail that was 'ARTPOP' she finally finds inspirations to write lyrics that mean something to the listeners. Must Listen: Diamond Heart, Dancin' in Circles, Million Reasons, Come to Mama, Joanne and Angel Down.

Other easily overlooked tracks such as the Florence Welch collaboration "Hey Girl" and the waiting-to-be-a-hit "A-YO" easily scream pop perfection. Compared to what I've heard of Gaga before (a few songs from Born This Way and the entire ARTPOP) this is her best yet! She pushes such boundaries! The album is such a reflection of maturity. Gaga I remember in 2008 debuted pushing radio into this glam pop stage and now it seems as if she's taking us out. I am so grateful that the album neglects the overused, tired EDM songs on the radio today. She really shows she's ahead of her time. This album shines out above its peers!… Expand

    Joanne represents Gaga's most personal record yet not because it reveals the "real" her—each of her releases reflects a different side of her self, and should be read as authentic reflections of who she was when she made them—but rather because it relies most heavily on her own experiences: her pain and her suffering and her growth as not only a musician but a human being.

    'Joanne' is the type of album that you don't see very often. It's authentic, raw, and deeply personal. Her last album 'ARTPOP' was as creative as it can be, but it lacked in many aspects. 'Joanne' picks all that up, making this album the best that Gaga has delivered yet in her short but lively career.

    There's a lot of experimenting with various genres (the glam rock of 'Diamond Heart', edgy rock of 'John Wayne', country-influenced 'Sinners Prayer', dance-infused 'Dancin' in Circles' etc.), and all of these songs work. There may be a few filler songs (I can only think of one so far, but that number may go to 0 as I continue to listen to it), but as a whole - it's in its best form; a complete package.

    The album tells a story, as if it was a movie soundtrack, and that's the best compliment an album can get. Lady Gaga, you've done it again - you've changed pop music for the better.    … Expand

It's very apparent that Gaga wanted to make the music she genuinely felt like creating. The tracks are personal and authentic. Songs like 'John Wayne' and 'A-YO' and lead-single 'Perfect Illusion' make me want to act like a crazy person under the influence, while others like 'Million Reasons' (which is easily the best song on the album) and 'Angel Down' are very emotionally charged. Another highlight is 'Dancin' in Circles', which is as weird as it is catchy. On the other hand, there are songs that fall short, like 'Hey Girl' (I honestly expected more from the incredible collaboration is that Gaga and Florence) and 'Sinner's Prayer' which sounds monotonous and never quite explods.

It seems odd to a hasbeen like me to not just remain stagnant or retroactive, but perhaps this truly is the way forward. I find it both captivating and enraging that in this record, Gaga has produced more authenticity and talent than I've managed in 35 years of stealing writing credits and lip-syncing! The infectious A-YO and the saucy Dancin' In Circles are the ultimate toppers on Joanne, and serve to remind even someone as out-of-touch as me that you're all you need and more. I hope to infer she ripped off something I ripped off in the 80s for my upcoming tour for the sake of tickets and attention, and to throw my stans a bone (in place of worthwhile content). In summary, Joanne feels like the record it took Gaga failing to make, and its rawness elevates it above her previous work and my last 6 albums combined. She's smokin' us all.… Expand

John Wayne is a crossover between the soul of a Lana del Rey song with Gaga's passion. John Wayne, Dancin In Circles and Perfect Illusion is the rock dance trifecta of this album. Dancin In Circles could be the next Bad Romance with proper promotion. Million Reasons and Angel Down are just examples of how Gaga can tell a heartbreaking story with such amazing and catchy lyrics. Come To Mama sounds like a song The Beatles would've record for a Broadway show and Hey Girl is 2016's best feminist anthem.

    Es un excelente trabajo con mucha dedicación y esfuerzo de su parte, con música y productores de calidad que se arriesgaron a traer cosas nuevas como una verdadera artista debe hacer, innovarse y hacer nuevos trabajos, experiencias y demás. No depende del el ámbito comercial, la música habla por si sola para verdaderos oyentes que sepan apreciar cada tono y letra de cada cancion

    After the EDM ARTPOP era, Lady Gaga reinvented herself again, going back to her Italian roots and working with amazing producers and musicians. The vocals are raw, honest, authentic, the sound is very analog, the lyrics are perfect, she has grown as an artist, but as a woman too.

    Joanne is all about music. Incredible work by Lady Gaga in her most personal album to date. This album combines pop, country, rock, funk and lot of ballads. Million Reasons is one of the best songs in the album. I'm ready to see how she'll perform these songs during the era.

    I dont know what this woman cant do.She's done it all:jazz,rock,pop,dance.This album shows her musical maturity and also shows a much personal side of her.From the rock in your face opener "Diamond heart" to the heartfelt lyrics of "Angel down" ,this album shows her rebellious side as well as her soft side and im very excited to see what she does next.!!!!!!!

    Her best album. Minimal but not lacking extravagance. Exciting but not lacking class. Authentic but not boring. Joanne is Gaga at her peak, and is sure to bring her back to the world's eyes in a beautifully sophisticated way.

    Every track is raw and showcases Gaga's undeniable talent. The album is much more consistent that her previous album and offers something new, and that is what makes Gaga one of this generations most interesting artists because she is willing to bring something new to the table.

    What a fantastic album. Each song is better than the other and Gaga's voice is so powerful. My fave track is Angel Down and from the first seconds I got chills. It will be a classic for sure and I will buy it (it will be the first ever album I will buy because I listened music though youtube but I really want to buy this album and it deserves my coins) . Great job Gaga 10/10 !

    I gotta be honest when I first thought of Joanne (well before we knew its name), I was scared that Gaga would go for another EDM album and that people around her would make her sing things she had already sung but thank god, here she evolves and shows another side of her personality.

Gaga is the only artist of our generation to really try things and always try to get herself out of the pop box. I can only admire that (especially as a songwriter myself). All the songs have their own universe, it sounds really organic and natural and Gaga is having the time of her life on some songs and she breaks my heart on others (Joanne, Million Reasons, Angel Down, Grigio Girls). I wish her well with this record because she deserves to get good things.… Expand

    Lady Gaga's best album in five years. She shows maturity and artistic growth in all of the eleven songs and the bonus tracks are good enough to have made the standard ed. All in all, a solid body of work with universal appeal. Worth at least one listen.

    Unfortunately, therein lies the biggest problem with Joanne: for every time that Gaga seemingly breaks free of her shackles and embraces something more “real,” she quickly scuttles back into her comfort zone and hides behind glistening production. This probably isn’t quite the sound of the real Stefani Germanotta, but if you squint hard enough there’s a semblance of a real person in amongst the pop haze.

    Joanne is certainly not the all-conquering opus it was intended to be and will prove divisive, but it remains a daring and exciting record, delivered from one of modern pop’s most unique and singular voices.
