ThisBitch 3,436 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 You're taking the words out of my mouth! I fell in love with this album at my first listen. This is pop perfection for me, classic Gaga and her vocals never sounded better. That first line "My Name Isn't Alice" proves that she's on a different level than all her peers. This album makes me so damn happy and I cherish it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlingNotTheMusic 27,641 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I love it, the only thing I would change is longer tracks and a little more diversity. Like, as soon as you really get into the song it's overĀ Also, more tracks in the vein of Babylon meaning using different styles of house. A lot of tracks on the album sound very similar to the one prior and while this builds cohesion, it at times can feel monotonous.Ā This isn't to say I haven't had it on replay since Friday and hear the choruses in my sleepĀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every. SINGLE. One! Not just ARTPOP, not even just Born This Way, but even TFM was seen as a downgrade! So this makes me know I'll need my time with this album. That might have been the case for other fans but not for me.Ā I have loved every album on first listen and I thought every album was better than the last. This is the first time this hasnāt been the case, so I canāt help but think my opinion on this album will not change that much. 2 hours ago, Versace said: I get what you'reĀ saying but I've been with Gaga since TF/TFM and ever since then I wasn't fully satisfied. I wasn't satisfied with anything after TFM (don't kill me BTW fans), sure I really enjoyed some ofĀ the songs but I barely relistened and knew they wouldn't age well for me. I then kinda gave up on her and was ready to just support her. I had no expectations for LG6 at all, I would honestly log on this site just for the entertainment news. I heard Chromatica and honestly it blew me away, I knew it wasn't just any album, this album is really really special. It's definitely in a league of itsĀ own not just in Gaga's discography but among pop records in general. No one can deny that this album had immense effort put into it both sonically and lyricallyĀ I guess I donāt love it for the same reason you do love it: it feels like old Gaga. To some people TF/TFM is the best thing sheās done and everything sheās made since has been inferior and they only support it because itās Gaga or theyĀ just donāt like it at all. I think those people are enjoying Chromatica because it does feel like that old Gaga they fell in love with. I am someone who liked Gaga in TF/TFM, but who alsoĀ thinks sheās only gotten better and better with each album. I think her writing, her voice, and her production has only gotten stronger and to me TF/TFM feels basic looking back. For someone like me Chromatica feels like a huge regression, and not in a good way. ToĀ me TF/TFM is not peak Gaga, and Chromatica feels like Gaga is basically forgetting everything sheās learned in the last decade. I want Gaga to improve and become a better artist, but with Chromatica it feels like sheās pandering to an audience who left her behind long ago. Is overlyĀ simplifying your music to regain the love of the GP and your ex-fans and also attainĀ commercial success the right thing to do? I donāt know, but to me it doesnāt feel right. If this album is a one time thing I honestly donāt care, Iām just gonna wait for LG7. What Iām fearing is that sheās gonna learn the wrong lesson from Chromatica: āPeople like you when you do this, ARTPOP and Joanne were not good so donāt try anything like that again, donāt be weird and just repeat yourself over and over again and weāll shower you with praiseā. Am I overthinking it? Probably, but I canāt help but have that concern atĀ the back of my mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtpopAct2 2,672 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I can see why the albumās songs blending together and being similar to eachother can be a bad thing for people, ESPECIALLY to Gaga fans who have received an album like Born This Way, which legitimately every song sounds almost completely different on. (Well barring the deluxe, Iād say those three tracks have similar counterparts on the standard i.e. The Queen and TEOG. However, as I listen to Chromatica more and more, the only song that sticks out as a bit too generic is 1000 Doves. Every other one has pretty unique qualities whether it be in her vocal delivery, the structure, key, or production. Even though it still is more similar throughout than Born This Way. However cohesiveness is also not a bad thing. Madonnaās Confessions on a Dance Floor is great because of exactly that. Lots of songs on that album use extremely similar sounds and beats and due toĀ that itās one of the only albums I listen to all the way through constantly as if itās one song. Because if Iām in the mood for one, Iām usually in the mood for all of them. Similar to Chromatica also, it wasnāt as experimental or boldĀ as Madonnaās previous records, rather refined, sleek, cohesiveĀ and perfected dance pop made for everyone to enjoy. And While not quite as cohesive as Confessions, Chromatica is Gagaās most cohesive record yet. Thus, I predict myself in the future becoming reimmersed in the entire album when Iām in the mood, rather than something like Born This Way where Iāll be in the mood for different tracks at different times due to itās variety.Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
