Joanne is her best produced record

I know Joanne tends to get a lot of flack for being presented as this authentic stripped down americana record without ever actually properly diving into country/rock, but i've been really enjoying it lately and i'd consider it her best produced project. 

The live instrumentation, her vocal versatility, her range, the hooks. Mike & Blood really did the damn thing and i wouldn't change a thing. Every element of the album, down to the smalles soundbite sat perfectly in place.

Honestly, hard disagree. I love the arrangements on Joanne, but I think that the record would be so much better if it were produced like a live record (a la ASIB) and the vocals and instrumentation were given more dimensionality + room to breathe. I think the biggest weakness of the production on Joanne is that it sounds heavily compressed. That being said, I absolutely love the album.

Hmm idk. I think Chromatica, ARTPOP and The Fame Monster are better produced than Joanne, even A Star Is Born.

Joanne is really a masterpiece. 

Joanne & Chromatica are for sure Gaga’s best albums.

It’s definitely an amazing album that I’ve grown to appreciate more overtime. Although it’s very different from the rest of her discography, I feel like it added a diverse sound and some of the songs on it are very underrated.

I don’t know if I would consider it her best produced album, but I definitely agree that it’s probably one of her best when it comes to the production, especially Diamond Heart, John Wayne and Angel Down. And despite not being on the album, Joanne (Where Do You Think You’re Goin’?) (Piano Version) is probably one of her best songs.

It’s probably mixed and mastered that way. Why? Dunno but that’s probably the reason

The GP loves Joanne and they love it hard

Do they, tho? I feel like not a lot of the GP really knows about it (aside from Million Reasons).

Sincere question, btw. I love Joanne, so this is not a drag.

Personally I disagree, I always felt like Joanne as an album was being pulled in 2 directions/having a identity crisis. 

One half is very heavy indie rock that I find a bit too removed from the country identity the album is packaged as. And then you get the other half which is a surface level mix of blues & singer-songwriter style guitar ballads.

holy scheisse

I’m happy for those of you who believe this to be true — but just because it’s “raw” instruments, and a “raw” sound doesn’t mean it’s better…
