    A striking album that truly takes you an auditory journey from start to finish.

In fact, the lows of the album are contained in the lyrics, where you hear pain, torment, and suffering. In spite of the lows, Chromatica assures you there is a silver lining after the storm has passed. Perhaps the biggest takeaway is to just dance your way through the pain, no matter how inescapable it might seem.… Expand

    What a comeback! Chromatica serves disco and house inspired tracks with the campy notes that have differentiated Gaga's work from others for more than a decade.

Chromatica serves disco and house inspired tracks with the campy notes that have differentiated Gaga's work from others for more than a decade. Chromatica, even though it has a very retro insprired sound, keeps it fresh and sets new trends in music. The album doesn't stop, it keeps you dancing all the way through. It has a very serious feeling to it; songs have a very upbeat sound, but most lyrics are deeply personal. This aspect of the album gives the listener a very strong experience, and a new way of feeling pop music. The album is a very euphoric art piece, and can be easily described as a never-seen-before pop album filled with climaxes and euphoria. Personally, I think it will be as iconic and timeless as Gaga's early works: The Fame, The Fame Monster, or Born This Way.… Expand

    The best album of 2020. I like the way the interludes transit to songs. It's absolutely cool. 90s and 00s vibes warm my heart.

    Lady Gaga is BACK! I've been waiting for a new dance record from her since ARTPOP — and boy was the wait worth it. 10/10

    A- Gaga took us to a new state of mind with hard hitting club tracks that cover trauma, love and self realization covered in a sci-fi journey called CHROMATICA .

    10/10 would recommend, the dark, sad truth behind the lyrics mixed with a 80’s/90’s beat not only brings this album back to her roots it’s a story in which Gaga battles through her pain. Best listened from the beginning to the end, not one single skip on the album. Every song on its own is a journey. Battle for your life!

    At first, i didn't really like this album. Was a little disappointed. But by listening it again and again and again, it literally grew on me and I love it.
    It may sounds a little draft at some point or maybe there is too much at the same time in some song but Gaga experiments new things along with going back to dance-floor songs. And I like it.

    A whole immersion into Gaga's dancefloor. While being envolved by upbeat dance hits, it's as if you're being abducted to Chromatica with deep and faithful verses about what makes us all human. Fun, emotional and liberating. Easy to dance while crying, freeing yourself from everything that once, before Chromatica, kept you imprisoned.

    This album is totally classic dance pop gaga. Actually, I didn’t expect this album from lady gaga after the phenomenal a star is born soundtrack. All the songs have great production and good vocal. Standout tracks for me are definitely Replay and Sine from above. Love that gaga collaborates with so many artists. Thank you lady gaga for bringing me to her chromatica.

    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.
