Poll: ARTPOP vs. Chromatica

[Jarvin 1,160]

I guess as a super stan it is more so about personal experiences rather than the music. The cathartic experience of Gaga singing shallow at CBT after my recovery from addiction was such an experience. The mental health aspect makes Chromatica number one for me. I’m currently of for another treatment for a couple weeks, having just graduated from university . I want to start a new life after rehab with my diploma, family and friends. I hope LG7 will bring me the power that I need to push it through!!

I have an indecisive opinion on ARTPOP as a whole on where I rank it and my overall opinion of it, but at the end of the day I have two immediate skips (Donatella, Mary Jane Holland) that have mostly been that way since it dropped, though I do like the production and some of the delivery in lyrics on MJH. Chromatica has only one (Sour Candy) for me. So I vote for Chromatica.

ARTPOP because its just a little more bonkers sonically and lyrically, but Chromatica does contain two of my favourite Gengar songs to date

Chromatica is a measured and meticulous exploration of Gaga's mental health crises, full of hard truths and confessions.

ARTPOP is a chaotic cry for help with high highs and some of her lowest lows, full of metaphors and avoidance of saying anything with her chest.

Compare Swine to Replay. Both talk about her SA experiences and the man who hurt her, but from very different approaches.

They're sister albums as far as I'm concerned, and are both anchors in her incredible career. I prefer the honesty of Chromatica, but the chaos of ARTPOP was a necessary step in her artistic expression and I'll always love it for that.

You nailed with your analysis, it all makes so much sense! And I think the avoidance of saying anything with her chest would be 100% true if it wasn’t for Dope. I find it one of the most intimate lyrics Gaga’s ever written.

Chromatica, of course 

[KubaM316 13,469]

I mean, both of them are in my top 3 favorite Gaga albums ever.

 

However there's only one of them in my top 2... and it's ARTPOP

Chromatica

 

Sorry I know ARTPOP in recent years has found a new level of appreciation in the fan base but its still one one of her weaker albums for me (of her main albums excluding side projects)

 

While I do like most songs (there isnt any Gaga album I outright dont like)... its the only Gaga album that doesnt have any track I love a lot or was ever obssessed with

 

Most songs on it for me are just pretty good but not amazing. Applause and ARTPOP are the 2 closest to songs I love but even then Id classify them as songs I merely like

 

My fav Gaga songs that to me are absolute classics are:

 

Just Dance, Poker Face, Paparazzi, Bad Romance, Alejandro, Monster, Dance In The Dark, So Happy I Could Die, Judas, Marry The Night, Scheibe, Government Hooker, Dancin In Circles, Grigio Girls, Rain On Me, Replay, Enigma, Shallow, Ill Never Love Again

 

ARTPOP has none on my list
