my initial thought was Chromatica but I'm going to switch it to The Fame Monster, imagine never hearing Bad Romance, Telephone, Alejandro, Monster, DITD, the entire thing. It applies to all albums lol but that's my pick

Fame Monster is a flawless album. I’ve listened to it so much I almost dont even hear it anymore because I sing every word to every song. It would be so interesting to hear it for the first time again.

Born This Way.

i was not a fan back then and I never had a proper start-to-finish listen (tho I know every song by heart now). I’m curious how I’d react at first listen.

Same. I actually didn’t love BTW on first listen but now I love it. It would be interesting to know how I would have felt about it hearing it for the first time now.

Chromatica of course, I want to feel again the hit in my ears when Alice beat dropped

ugh it all depends on what's going on in my life! like part of why BTW was so impactful was because I was literally living in an RV shortly after I came out as a lesbian and dealing with BYU trying to get me outta there. Chromatica was so impactful because of the time it came in and I (and we) was so isolated and the world was really scary and it gave me something to look forward to. Chromatica was also so special because TCB came during one of the absolute worst years of my life. The Fame Monster had such an impact because I was a closeted gay teenager in an abusive relationship and struggling with my sexuality and feeling like no one else in the world understood me (esp getting bullied so much for liking her). ARTPOP because I was so sick and depressed and dating someone I didn't love anymore and needed some semblance of a light at the end of the tunnel. 

CONTEXT! If I hadn't listened to any of them at the exact moment I did, I don't think it would blow me away in the same way.

Wow, thank you for sharing

I understand what you mean by this, that album and era had a different feel to it that made you feel, like, I don't know real??

There was just something so warm and cozy about it. ARTPOP is one of my favorite albums of all time, I adore it, but coming after such a hard-hitting electronic rave kind of album, Joanne just hit that right spot of being soothing and comforting. ARTPOP made me want to dance and Joanne made me want to just close my eyes and soak it in.

This was said perfectly, sorry I took so long to respond.

Joanne for me I think... That album really excited me the first time I listened to it. It's chock-full of sounds that I had never expected from Gaga. Having spent a lot of time with the album now, however, I feel like the simplicity of the songs means they have little to reveal to me when I relisten and I come to appreciate that album less with time. 

Born This Way on the other hand, my favourite Gags project, still sounds fresh and exciting and I must have listened to that album a thousand times. It's just so dense, I dont think I could ever get bored of it.

Wow I've never thought of it like that. For me Diamond Heart, Million Reasons, Perfect Illusion, Come To Mama, Joanne, Joanne WDYTYG and the Million Reasons Andrelli Remix have all stood the test of time in their simplicity.
