    Best **** album of the year GAGA QUEEN, algo nunca visto en Gaga y que se agradece una retrospectiva a su carrera a todo lo que ha tenido que pasar. Muy infravalorado porque las maricas solo quieren perrear en las discos y pàsan de llorar.

    You've got to say this is an album that expresses Lady Gaga herself, without all the eccentric costumes, she remained down-to-earth and a true artist.

Top Tracks: “Diamond Heart,” “Joanne,” “Perfect Illusion,” “Million Reasons,” “Angel Down,” and “Grigio Girls.” “Diamond Heart” speaks to me because while we aren’t perfect and while we each have our dark moments, what doesn’t change is the strength of our heart. “Joanne” makes me want to cry because we can all relate to someone close to us dying. “Perfect Illusion” is about realizing that what you once thought to be the case really wasn’t. “Million Reasons” is about wanting to go, but also wanting to stay given the right reason in a myriad of situations. “Angel Down” is commentary on gun violence and our generation. “Grigio Girls” is a fun song about friends, but also connects her aunt to one of Gaga’s good friends who has since passed away.

    It is a great country album, this album showed a little bit of gaga's Stefani side, the songs can make you happy or sad. A very good album, but I do not feel like the gaga's style. she's more like a pop_electro star. but anyways, I loved this album and possibly you will too. All the songs are beautiful.

    This is probably her worst album.
    The only song I enjoyed was Joanne (the piano version), after that a terrible lead single and bland, mediocre songs after.
    Country isn’t her thing at all, she should go back to Born This Way kind of pop

    En Joanne, Lady Gaga nos da un vistazo a su parte más personal, con letras más maduras que en sus grabaciones anteriores y sonidos que permiten escuchar su voz de forma más natural en lugar de sobreexplotar los beats electro-dance como en sus primeros trabajos.

    The Monster didn't make me fall in love with Gaga, Born This Way didn't make me fall in love with Gaga, ARTPOP didn't make me fall in love with Gaga. But Joanne did.

    Joanne es el tratado de reinvención de Lady Gaga, aferrándose a un género alternativo-rock-country-pop, para tomar un paso al costado, optando por un camino artístico y desligarse por un instante de las producciones hechas para charts efímeros, para así redimirse luego del trabajo a medias y decepcionante que fue Artpop. Reinvención que sería tomada en serio, si no se sintiera tanJoanne es el tratado de reinvención de Lady Gaga, aferrándose a un género alternativo-rock-country-pop, para tomar un paso al costado, optando por un camino artístico y desligarse por un instante de las producciones hechas para charts efímeros, para así redimirse luego del trabajo a medias y decepcionante que fue Artpop. Reinvención que sería tomada en serio, si no se sintiera tan presionado.

    Con la mayoría de las canciones compuestas por la misma Gaga con ayuda del aclamado productor Mark Ronson y Beck, el álbum abre con Diamond Heart, una pieza con temática introspectiva que Gaga ya había abarcado anteriormente. A decir verdad, un álbum entero de aceptación, autoestima, amarse con todo e imperfecciones. Born This Way. Recuperamos algo de la excentricidad de Gaga con las extravagantes John Wayne y Dancin’ In Circles y la agresiva y voraz Perfect Illusion, nos hacen sentir a la Gaga estrafalaria y singular, sin miedo a reinventarse y sin necesidad de buscar aprobación. Una artista que trata tomar un rumbo musical distinto. No obstante, quedan en segundo plano con las otras piezas dentro de Joanne que no juegan en favor del álbum.

    Llegando a Joanne, la producción más personal del álbum nos deja entrever el sufrimiento de ser amado que tuvo que partir. Una producción desgarradora y liviana acompañada de una guitarra y la voz de Gaga en la mayoría de la pista. Como también, Million Reason, una composición sobre amor no correspondido. Algo empalagosa, pero Gaga nos transmite su dolor a fondo a lo largo del coro. Hey Girl con Florence Welch, una canción entretenida y psicodélica al estilo Tame Impala donde las dos logran divertirse y formar un dúo casi perfecto, es de los primeros puntos débiles del álbum ya que no concuerda dentro del orden del álbum. Y luce puesta ahí más por un capricho que por cohesión. Sinner’s Prayer es una composición que nos traslada al viejo oeste, se siente fuera de lugar al igual que Come To Mama, una canción sin gusto y plana que se siente The Beatles desde un inicio.

    La producción casi desnuda y rozando lo acústico, presentan a una Gaga más personal que antes; sin la necesidad de sintetizadores a tope o beats dubstep sobreproducidos. Y Joanne nos lo recuerda desde un inicio: esta soy yo, mírenme, he dejado el pop genérico y quiero ser una artista en serio. Sin embargo, es débil en cuanto concepto. La mayoría de las composiciones, que si bien son brillantes por separado y nos demuestran a una Gaga que se atreve a más mientras se toma un respiro, juntas son una confusión caótica que pierden la dirección ubicándose en un punto plano al finalizar el LP sin siquiera haber despegado.

    Resaltan: Joanne, Perfect Illusion, John Wayne, Hey Girl

    Puntaje: 45/100

    Now, I know a lot of people disliked "Joanne" because of its departure from the dance & pop feel. But, if you really look at it, it's secretly Gaga's best album yet. She somehow managed to take a break from the pop persona and make this whole album really great.

    The best thing about her fifth LP is that it has that raw feeling; a feeling of real-ness. It's not just about romance and fame any more; it's true to the heart. "Joanne" is a truly inspiring album to those who decide to listen. Nothing on this album is repetitive nor cheesy. It's just Lady Gaga writing motivational music about healing, dedicated to her father & her late aunt, Joanne Stefani Germanotta.

    I recommend watching "Gaga: Five Foot Two", which is available on Netflix, as a companion to listening to "Joanne".

    I don't understand that pick of Perfect Illusion to be it's lead single. I think it's album's weakest song, but okay, it charted quite okay.
    Gaga proves she can sing jazz, she can sing opera and now she shows us her story with soft rock/country music and it's amazing.
    So many songs deserve to be singles. Dancing in Circles, John Wayne, Diamond Heart, A-Yo - these rocky/poppy songs are albums best.
    Ballads such as Joanne, Million Reasons,Sinner's Pray, Hey Girl and Angel Down hit me for the first listening.

    Honestly this album deserved a lot better than It recieved , When i was going through hard times in my life i listened to Million reasons a lot and it soothed and calmed me down , i wish i could look her in the eyes and tell her how much it meant to me.

Es un álbum muy diferente a lo que define Gaga, pero es música disfrutable, tan solo escuchen Come To Mama y sentirán el apoyo incondicionalmente de pudiera darte una familia, uno al perder un familiar te llega la melodía de Joanne y su esencia única.

    a mucha gente no le gustó este álbum porque no sonaba igual que sus anteriores álbumes, al ser más acústico y country la gente prácticamente perdió la cabeza. el álbum es realmente bueno, la temática que aborda, acerca de temas y experiencias personales que gaga tuvo en su adolescencia y adultez hace que este álbum sea valioso. mis canciones favoritas son john wayne, sinners prayer ya mucha gente no le gustó este álbum porque no sonaba igual que sus anteriores álbumes, al ser más acústico y country la gente prácticamente perdió la cabeza. el álbum es realmente bueno, la temática que aborda, acerca de temas y experiencias personales que gaga tuvo en su adolescencia y adultez hace que este álbum sea valioso. mis canciones favoritas son john wayne, sinners prayer y perfect illusion… Expand

    Sinners' Prayer could have been a beautiful official single and it's one of the standout tracks on the album.

    Diamond Heart evokes a very Pop Rock sound that Lady Gaga delivers well, she should do more songs like this.

    Es un álbum de sonidos algo agradables pero letras bastante repetitivas sin mensajes claros ni nada creo que hubieron 3 canciones buenas el resto no me gusto.

    Este álbum no me convenció, tiene canciones muy buenas pero también hay otras que rompen el concepto. Son divertidas de escuchar pero no quita que la mayoría le falta sentimiento que Gaga siempre le ponía a sus canciones.

    Even though this is the least Gaga record to date, there's still an underlying creativity and artistry that shines through, just like every album before.

More laid back and trance-inducing than her other albums, Lady Gaga strips back her pop-star persona to show a more vulnerable side of herself; channeling the essence of her dead aunt, Joanne, who she is partially named after, Gaga proves that she's not just a crazy pop star, but she's a well-rounded versatile artist who can tackle any genre and make it her own. Joanne is an album full of thought-provoking yet flawed tracks that come together to tell a story of mental journeys and self-discovery. Once again, even in her artistic lows, she still comes out on top.… Expand

    Joanne was not a dissapointing album, it's amazing. An artist can't sing the same genre at all times their career. It was different but nice.

    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.
