For me, Chromatica is easily Gaga's most satisfactory album since The Fame Monster because it feels like she's made peace with playing to her actual strengths as a maximal pop star, without the tired retreads from that era that marred Born This Way and parts of her more hit-chasing moments during her wilderness years (hello Perfect Illusion).
If she wants to drop her Ray of Light, I'm all for it. But the last thing she needs to do is sink back into the self-indulgence of ARTPOP or the dreariness of Joanne.
