Was Chromatica what you were expecting?

[Doot 2]

Based upon the producers. 

The vibes. 

The influences she referenced before hand. 

All of it. 

this is not about promo. Please refrain from that discussion, this is purely album based. 

[Born in Chromatica 7]

I was expecting the album to sound more like what SOPHIE (the producer) had on her album and music production. Futuristic  whole new world imagined, extremely experimental. I thought it would have been more innovative than what we finally got. 

I still love the album and the concept, but it was not what I was expecting. I do think it was a huge missed opportunity not to have SOPHIE produced tracks in the final cut of the standard album. 
 

EDIT: Something similar to this

Or this

From what we got to hear before which was Stupid Love and Rain On Me I knew we weren’t getting anything super experimental so yeah it was what I expected. And it actually turned out much better than I thought 

[Grim 2,005]

I was waiting for more grand production

[Sister 9,907]

No, but I didn't really have any expectations and wasn't believing that anything was coming so soon, so I was pleasantly surprised and loved that it was a proper pop dance full album, simple to the point. I think that it has a Las Vegas vibe influence from her residence so long in Vegas. I feel it too from being there, it's refreshing coming from Gaga right now too. It is just cool, immediate and fresh.

I was expecting it to be more on the dance/disco side and to be experimental in a different way than it actually was. That said, what I imagined wasn't that different to what we actually got.

I was expecting a little bit more experience music, but I love the house references throughout the album

 

[dynamite 50,362]

Not really. I was expecting it to be outrageous, innovative and somewhat experimental.

I expected the album to be a lot more fun and crazy. Stupid Love was a great start, Rain On Me as well. but a lot of the songs are kinda reductive.

Chromatica is Gaga's Lover era except I enjoy Me! more than half of the songs 

[Borislshere 52,615]

Not in the slightest 

I was so f*cking pumped for something a bit more adventurous and experimental but it's whatever. it's here

[10inch 417]

It's not but I love every single song from that album. So I still win.

[Prada 1,200]

yes. but videos, promo or something caused this album to be not complete.

These songs need visuals.

[Glamourpuss 29,062]

It wasn't what I was expecting but it was kind of what I always wanted and I didn't know it until after I listened to the album a few times. I used to use songs from the 90's house genre as an example of what I wanted and she took that and delivered something even better.

See it's weird, I don't walk away from the album thinking "90's house". 

And house music is life.
