There’s a good EP buried in here, but the journey to get there is long and arduous
These two are okay - I don’t find them a pleasant listening experience but I get and respect what she’s trying to do:
Disease
Abracadabra
Then we get a trio of songs that expose Gaga at her worst with that whiny Aguilera-esque screaming vocal. Vanish Into You might be the worst Gaga song I have ever heard!
Garden of Eden
Perfect Celebrity
Vanish Into You
Then some filler - the Gwen Stefani Zombieboy is just hateful:
Killah
Zombieboy
But finally, finally, we get to some great songs. No show-boating screaming, no Bad Romance rewrites, just some great pop songs. LoveDrug is Gaga at her BEST:
LoveDrug
How Bad Do U Want Me
Don't Call Tonight
Shadow of a Man
But then to finish we’re back into “I want to win a Grammy!” territory with some ballady-poos. How many people actually made it through Blade of Grass?
The Beast
Blade of Grass
Die With a Smile
TO SUMMARISE: Chromatica was a fantastic album. This album has four great songs.
