BTW VS. Chromatica: Better Artwork?

[Ashley 9,370]

Chromatica. Out of that whole BTW photoshoot the covers they chose weren’t the best.

[Luke78619 23,315]

I feel like this is an unfair comparison because most people here don’t like the BTW cover  for some reason

but Chromatica is pure excellence, so that

I couldn’t believe from all of the amazing Nick Knight outtakes that they went for that horrific motorbike hybrid/close up for BTW. Seriously... all the other photos were absolutely STUNNING (especially TEOG and BTW single covers).

Chromatica is absolutely stunning and shits all over the BTW cover. 
 

Imagine Born This Way album cover with this outtake 

 

 

 

A good artwork of an concept album not only looks good but also represents the concept of it all

Random picture from the photoshoot doesn't do that

Born This Way is great but still has a DIY feel lmao.
Chromatica is just excellence. 

[AVeryGagaHolyDick 25,151]

Born This Way, with whatever sauce you want. Standard or special.

Thissssss

That said, the Born This Way single cover would have done a great job too as the album cover. It's just as in your face, spiritual yet agressive as the album cover

I think that image represents the album really well.. that whole photoshoot is a nod to the music video for BTW which set up the era. It gives me punk/rock vibes. 
 

In my opinion, the motorbike/Gaga hybrid was horribly executed.. bad editing and HORRIFIC font..

The only thing that bothers me is that her name is not on it.

Neither is it on the BTW cover, but with a blonde chick transforming into a motorcycle, there's no doubt it's Lady Gaga

The standard album one is perfect

As Gaga said

It's a mix of reality and fantasy like this whole album

And she's also a vehicle for us, little monsters and our voices

This is one of the best visuals of her career for me and should have been used as the main cover for the album.

Chromatica visuals are incredible and the album cover is god tier excellence but I am not the biggest fan of some of the looks in the videos (ROM & SL) or the Apple Music banners. Her best her best visual for this era so far for me:

 

 

The primordial ooze look for the Born This Way Collection is her best album cover.

It would have been Grace Jones level iconic as standard edition album art.

I remember when the standard BTW image was announced people thought it was a meme.  

 

Chromatica > Deluxe BTW > Standard BTW

I watch this interview everydayyyy

 

I love the standard one. 

I love the deluxe one as well. 

And the single cover? Easily the best single cover of all time to me, no other cover comes close to it in any way

pink, not blonde

I voted BTW, but I think Chromatica looks equally as good tbh. Like a colorful sister.

Maybe I'm missing something, but after Joanne and ASIB, the Chromatica aesthetic feels kinda random to me. The album artwork is beautiful. It's real eye candy. But the meaning behind everything (the entire shoot) is not really clear to me. Normally, and for example with the BTW album art, she would have explained about her inspiration and what she was trying to create, what it was about. Maybe I missed something (if I did, explain to me please), but with chromatica it just didn't feel as artistic as BTW, just very beautifully created. I'm not saying it's worse album art, but for this reason I like album art of BTW better.
