Joanne ranked worst album in Gaga's discography by Billboard
Quote:
5. Joanne (2016)
Intended as both Gaga's most personal album to date and her attempt to connect with more of America's center, Joanne largely succeeds -- "Diamond Heart" sneaks some of Gaga's most confessional lyrics into a Meadowlands-worthy stadium-rock opener, while "Million Reasons" may be her most affecting ballad yet, potentially setting her career up for a successful second act on country radio. But the well-intentioned anthems of social conscience ("Come to Mama," "Angel Down") land somewhat flat, and some of the friskier numbers ("John Wayne," "A-YO") feel like a party whose host is trying a little too hard to convince everyone about how much fun they're having.
