Sine From Above is the worst song on Chromatica for me because it’s awkward as hell.

 

I don’t care if the lyrics are “good”. The instrumental going from staccato pluks to the dated Eurovision chorus breakdown just doesn’t flow well. And I’m sorry but Elton’s vocals do not fit whatsoever and the harmonies with Gaga feel messy.

Plastic Doll is generic but at least it's the only song there with an actual attempt at a hook, too bad it's too whiny

we thank GOD she didn't include it on the tour, just like SFA

Plastic Doll and especially SFA would've slayed during the tour. 

I love Plastic Doll and will never get the hate  1000 Doves isn’t “bad” either per se but it is overbearingly generic 

Chroma would've been an excellent album with 10 tracks

a Eurovision reject

it was a 2012 Elton John demo, that should have left us known

 

 

Wait, what's this? 

 

When listening to Chromatica I appreciate how cohesive it is, the songs just flows one into the other and for that to happen each song is needed.

Nothing, just an orchestra doing covers 

The final version of SFA is not what the demo version sounded like.  The only thing the final version has is Elton’s verse and it was in another key and arrangement. It was a totally different song. Also, the song’s influences are nothing like 2012 music or whatever that wrong opinion is. You really have to know 90’s music to recognize it.

 

Having said that, although I love the song, Elton’s delivery is indeed annoying I really have to objective on this one.

Yeah, the record as a whole is still in her album trinity but a good portion of the songs by themselves do not bring the same magic as they do put together. Her deciding to make orchestral interludes that flow seamlessly into house tracks is one of the best things she's ever done musically.

Chromatica’s interludes are godly, agreed but the album version of Replay is miles and miles better than the remix (tho the DOC version slaps too).

I feel like people forget about the interludes way too often. They’re brilliant and brought an amazing feel to the whole record.

Idk about that, remix is way more creative

Agreed. Chromatica II to 911 will forever remain iconic, and Chromatica I to Alice was a fantastic way to open the album.

Might be an unpopular opinion but I'm glad Gaga (bl**dpop) released Dawn of Chromatica 

SFA had so much potential. The remix brings so much life to that song.

The “beat drop” in the outro of the original version is kind of embarrassingly dull. 
It’s a song about being saved by music! We need a more interesting instrumental

Productionnnn darling, issa real standout

Interesting that she never used this photo for the swine festival promo

 

 

She must have not liked the final edit and decided to paint a nose over her face on another photo instead lol

 

Be honest… have any of you watched House of Gucci more than twice?
 

Only watched it once. I’ve watched ASIB several times tho

It’s a remix that is based on the original song. It’s not more creative imo. Also, the album version has one of if not the best usage of a sample in years and the whole reverse/replay sounds all over the song are truly something very innovative. Not to mention actual Diana Ross’ voice on the song. The remix is great but it’s nowhere near as creative. But that’s just me.
