    Good album, but definitely some missed opportunities to elevate the concept

    it’s a cultural reset, a reason to breathe. it’s the reason why I wake up, the reason why I eat, the reason why I live. it’s everything that gives me energy, everything that gives me strength, everything that i’ve ever wanted.

    Fue Espectacular Ver a Gaga tener un Estilo Muy Simple, Ella Pudo Reinventarse sin Generar Algún Tipo de Crítica, En lo Personal Me Encanta este Album

    I wasn't expecting a country album from Gaga. I was a bit confused. It could have been better, but still not terrible.

Contiene obras de arte que no podes evitar querer volver a escuchar como Million Reasons, Perfect Illusion, Dancin' in circles, Diamond Heart y John Wayne, Lady Gaga terminó por afianzar que no es sólo una artista pop, también puede ser una estrella de rock country Expand

    It’s understandable that «Joanne» finds Gaga performing authenticity, if only because it’s the strongest way to convey artistic evolution to the masses. While its modernity is expressed by mixing and matching genres or adding digital zing to familiar tropes, for all its bravura exuberance and pop slickness it is old fashioned to its core.

    I love the first half of the album, but she loses me after “Million Reasons”. All the songs after that aren’t that great in my opinion. I will also say that I like this album better than Artpop (although it’s a completely different sound).

    Albumde guzel olmayan parca neredeyse yok. Gaga'nin butun ic hesaplasmalarini kagida doktugu ve adeta kendisinin 2010'larin basindaki enerjik rockstar personasini yok edip olgun bir temayla izleyicilerin karsisina ciktigi album. Yeri ayridir. Angel Down'un worktapei sanirim bu albumde en cok dinledigim parca. Bu kadinin bagirmasi sarkilarina cok ayri bir hissiyat katiyor.

    From her first three albums, we see Lady Gaga as this perfect Dance-Pop/EDM legend who couldn't stop making bangers...and then we have 2016's Joanne?! Joanne is undeniably her weakest and most boring album to date, with songs that were demos taken from Taylor Swift's Red Album and turned into weak, inconsistent country pop songs that don't match with Lady Gaga's daring image.

The songs were fine, but they didn't sound like a song Lady Gaga would make. For now, I'm sticking to her first three albums and Chromatica (since they sound like her). Expand

    Flawed though it is, this brave and canny album hits the reset button and buys her a future. [Jan 2017, p.105]

    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.
