Imagine having length and quality like:

BLOODY MARY

SCHEISSE

HEAVY METAL LOVER

GOVERNMENT HOOKER

etc etc etc

 

 

But if it's quality why does length matter just play it again...

I agree, with John Wayne being under 3 minutes, and perfect illusion being exactly 3 minutes, I don’t think we need to fear for the quality of the album. It’s Gaga, she ALWAYS serves, she ALWAYS makes good music.

Structured song need time. HML is good because of her 4 minutes evolution and structure. 
ROM would have been a hit with 30 seconds more and still being a good song without feeling short.

As long as the album satisfies me as a whole then I won't care about the lengths of the individual songs.

Bad Romance, Alejandro, Monster, Speechless, and dance in the dark are all over 4 minutes :bradley:

Yes sure it may sound good, and I have no doubt Chromatica will be a complete eargasmic experience like no other.

But intro, pre-chorus, post-chorus, complex bridge, and outro.
There is no time for all this done right in short songs with an epic chorus. 

Beautiful, Dirty, Rich would like to introduce themselves :ally: (2:52)

It still sounds like a massive bop imo (even if the things mentioned above aren't as complex as in 4 minute long tracks) and that's what matters:vegas:

Longer songs usually = unnecessary repetition (The BR bridge:toofunny:)

Look how many times the same things are repeated in this part of Alejandro.

Although I very much tend to prefer long songs (most of my favorite songs are around the five minute mark, I think they just have more time to really feel like a full experience), I'm sure the songs from Chromatica will be top quality so I'm not too worried. I'm mainly bothered by Sour Candy. The song with five people should be the longest on the album, not the length of an interlude. :selena:

I saw another user make a good point: shorter songs rarely have the time for a great bridge like on Bad Romance, The Queen, etc. :bradley:

Xoxo, Victoria

Agree completely a song can still be amazing if short, Rain On Me is an example :legend: 

But I appreciate the structure of songs with all those parts, feels more complete/more effort put into it :spin:
