Was Chromatica what you were expecting?

No, speaking of production and music genre: I thought it would be very similar to the welcome to chromatica playlist, which wasn't it for me. But I like the production and music style of the actual album. Speaking of the theme and the lyrics: I didn't expect it to be as dark and negative. Tho it makes sense when she explained it. Tbh I was hoping for a lighter theme, but what we got isn't bad.

I didn't clearly know what I expected or wanted, but it feels like on the inside, I knew what was coming because I wasn't hyped for the album at all, listened to it (even not in full) a week late and I was disappointed. Not that the album is bad at all, but it's just not for me. I like several songs but I thought the rest was meh... There's still songs I haven't heard in full because they don't click with me at all. The only songs I love (without finding them incredible or being really wowed) are Stupid Love, Rain On Me and Replay. 

But I guess it's just a sound I'm not a fan of. It's still a good album I guess. I know it's cohesive with the visuals because I'm not fan of them either. It's my least favorite Gaga album cover and I don't like the photoshoot either. 

But I still love Gaga, and less than two years ago I looooooooved ASIB and its incredible soundtrack so I'm not mad. Gaga changes her sound everytime, so we can't be in love with every album she puts out:shrug: I'm looking forward to hearing LG7 or her next movie or unknown project:heart:

It's funny how i've been dragged for months for saying it was not as great as i expected and now everyone's saying the same. CLOWNS. :whitney:

Most of us still seem to rank it in our top 3 tho, five people aren’t “everyone” :bear:

I just mean that while other gurls brought new stuff to the table, she played it safe and didn't really do the thing she usually does where she creates trends but rather followed them this time. 

And btw, Dua didn’t do anything risky nor new, FN is very commercial and safe as well. Don’t be mad bc you see people liked Chromatica :awkney:

I didn’t really have expectations. I love it; it’s one of my favourite Gaga albums.

It was more like what I was afraid it was gonna be based on Bloodpop being the executive producer. My favourite gaga records are her more fearless ones and this one is,imo, sonically and even lyrically veeery safe. Still like it and love some of its highlights (such as rom or babylon)

Did I lie tho? :reductive:

They got brave and excited when they saw some users express their disappointment, and then got their deserved backlash. I seriously cannot deal with users who didn’t like a certain album and then try to make it seem like everyone is pretending to like it and they are the only person with a correct opinion, everyone else needs to be “educated”. Like, let the rest of us enjoy the thing goddamn. They’re on like  every Chromatica thread.

None detected!

I’m all for critical analysis, but what seems to be missing in many of these posts is just that. Opinion is not gospel. :bear:
 

There’s an air of superiority which is not cute.

No. I was honestly underwhelmed. That doesn't mean I don't like the album, but I was expecting something more groundbreaking.

But it feels like an upgrade. Whereas Chromatica sounds like something she’s already done but much more subdued and boring and the concept isn’t all that interesting especially with that tribes mess

Well, it’s an improvement if you ask me. I didn’t see anyone speak their mind when Chromatica came out. I did and as a result i got dragged. So i wish those 5 people would’ve expressed their opinion back then too. Maybe there are still a lot of people who are waiting for the right time. :ohwell:

Yes gurl and you’re entitled to your opinion, but don’t be bothered bc a lot of us like it, and don’t take this condescending role making it seem like we need to “realize” the album is not it. You were disappointed with the album? Great, not everyone is going to like it. Does that mean all of us need to be disappointed? No, don’t try to convince us to dislike it.

I did think it would sound more like the playlist she posted prior or maybe have more of a PC music sound.

I thought it would be more conceptual or include more world building with the different groups and colors. That's actually something I am still curious about because it seemed like that concept was pushed a lot, but I didn't get a good feel for it in the album :shrug:

For some reason I also thought there would be more of a space or maybe even cyberspace theme, but that is based on nothing
