Chromatica is underrated (Appreciation Post)

[RainOnGaga 708]

I might get hate for this, but who tf cares

Chromatica is a great album altogether. It's really amazing how gaga turns her worst time into a dance pop house music album released at the time of a pandemic. And as per the song writing, it's fun it's arbitrary. 

"Who's that girl, Malibu Gaga?"

Justice for Chromatica!

AND I NEED THAT SOUR CANDY MV!!!!

My favs:

Fun Tonight 

Enigma

Babylon

911

Hot take:

Gaga has 0 bad albums

[gumzy3000 7,751]

Agreed. Its also visually some of her strongest and most cohesive work.

Underrated I don't know but overhated for sure

I love Chromatica, and Joanne. In fact the pop album with the most skips for me is The Fame - argue with the wall.

I agree with this and it’s actually far more common of a take than it initially seems like it would be.

Okay, funny story time

I was in a Born This Way tribute show at Queer/Bar in Seattle and the host was listing every album off (in no particular order) right before I went on to perform Judas and girl when they got to Chromatica it was complete ****ing silence.  ARTPOP and Born This Way got the loudest applause.

Not really, I liked Chromatica when it first came out for like a week but it hasn't aged well. Most of the songs sound the same and blend together and the lyrics are some of her worst I mean "I feel like i'm in a prison hell, stick my hands through the steel bars and yell" and "I'm bouncing off the walls, I'm not your plastic doll"(and the rest of that song), really?. Even the "best" songs like Alice, Replay, Rain On Me, Enigma, 911 and Free Woman are subpar at best and Alice not having a bridge makes that song feel incomplete and none of those songs live up to her past work/singles at all. Stupid Love is also awful and was a terrible single choice and the cheap video does not help at all. It sounds like shopping mall music and the vocals also sound phoned in on most of the songs. It was quite clear that Gaga did not want to make it and throughout the whole era she seemed like a parody of what she once was/used to be.

Incorrect that would be Joanne, the only real skip on The Fame is Paper Gangster everything else is top notch electro/synth pop and it is known as one of the best debut albums of all time for a reason(including both the singles and album tracks).

i wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment but these two are weighing chromatica down lol

Chromatica is her most ironic and heartbroken album. i love it so much

[DESTROY UR DISEASE 17,769]

tbh one day I felt like relistening Chromatica and about halfway through my thought was that it's really not as great as I remembered it being back in 2020 and also not as GAGA sounding as her other albums... B U T  it is overhated indeed and I will fight anyone who doesn't care about it
