I'm so happy that Gaga is proud of this album and the people that matter most to her are loving it. The deep meanings behind the entire concept of the album and how it forever changed her family really drive every word home for me. Not even BTW had the amount of cohesion that Joanne manages to carry throughout each song.
at first i was bored by the album, but it took a few listens to really hear everything and how her voice works with the production(s). this album is far more organic sounding, but still has those tinges of sharp electro everywhere. and the lyrics are finally back to a good place. gaga is coming, its gonna be fun
