Ikr, how tf is this even a question  TCB was incredible 

[AVeryGagaHolyDick 30,973]

Joanne BY FAR

Chromatica will win just because it’s a dance album, but even any of her jazz album is just a million times better than Chromatica.

Both jazz albums and Harlequin eat Chromatica up tbh. Truly the bottom of the barrel for her discography  

No idea why she decided to swerve to uninspired dance pop after delivering the flawless run of Cheek to Cheek, Joanne, and ASIB

When you actually sit down and listen to it, it's one of her most insightful albums and I'm very happy we have it, it shows a Gaga side that we won't probably see ever again.

This would‘ve been the AOTY speech, beautiful

I’d probably say Chromatica, but both have their flaws. IMO, Joanne’s sound engineering is fairly lifeless/overly compressed, whereas Chromatica’s production is clean and well done, but lacking flavor. Both feature soulful performances and great songwriting, but I would honestly like to see both retooled a bit. Tbh I feel like ARTPOP, Joanne, and Chromatica as studio albums all pale so significantly in comparison to their live performances and I think that’s part of the reason why I don’t go back to them as much.

My least favorite Gaga album is The Fame. 
 

^ excluding the 4 singles which are very dear to my heart

Chromatica, easily one of my faves from her

Chromatica, I love this album so much!

Chromatica. That album is surprisingly more personal than Joanne if you look into the lyrics 

[Gagaplayer315 14,647]

The Chromatica era had the music, visuals, music videos and a great tour. 

Dead aunt album will always be her worst 

[Luzaleja 2,573]

I like Chromatica but I loooove Joanne. Some of my favorite songs are in it  

That album got me through a lot of sh*t so it’ll always have a special place in my heart (and playlist) 

[hamartia 2,604]

There are more individual songs on Chromatica that I like than there are on Joanne, but as a complete package Joanne is the superior album imo as you can feel the love she put into it. Chromatica has a few bops but the overall listening experience from start to finish still doesn't speak to me. 

This will probably fall on (tone) deaf ears, but if you haven't listened to Joanne recently, or as an adult, I highly recommend going back to it. I guarantee you that it's not 'as bad' as you remember it being.

I do think some of the production choices sound dated as hell, but it sounds much more charming to me now and less inauthentic than it did in 2016. She wanted to feel her Beck oats and that's what she did lol

the fame is extremely good, every song could have been a hit. joanne and chromatica could never tbh

i like to call ARTPOP, joanne and chromatica gaga's lost trilogy and its interesting how these 3 albums have the most divisive opinions
