Yeah, the fanbase is not happy with how things have been handled and this is their response. I don’t even think the problem comes from Chromatica, I think it comes from way before.
Summary:
ARTPOP - Abruptly ended era. Not Gaga’s fault. Had potential, but nope.
ARTPOP Act 2 - Very hyped but cancelled
Original LG5 - Hyped but cancelled
Joanne - Sound didn’t connect with some LM. Only 2 singles. Only 1/4 videos of the era are praised within the fanbase overall, and some don’t even like that. Lots of moments and promo. LM more or less satisfied with the era.
ASIB - Nothing happened except for the movie. There was room for more but again the era ended abruptly. LM were a little bit disappointed with the era overall (in terms of satisfaction with the era).
~Unnecesary time waiting for LG6 only to be thrown Haus Labs at our face~
Chromatica - Highly disappointing era. Just 3 MVs.
REVIVAL FOR ARTPOP ACT 2, FANS ARE FINALLY EXCITED FOR SOMETHING.
Gaga writes 2 tweets and crickets. Another disappointment (if she should release it or not is another question, I’m talking about the fanbase satisfaction).
BTW 10th anniversary - Nothing new and the era literally dies right when it started. Not what the fanbase would have wanted for the 10th anniversary of such a loved album within the fanbase.
~Unncessary time waiting for a remix album~
DoC - No “era” at all. She didn’t even change her pfp on social media.
And now, a few posts here and there for other companies later, we have L4S, a jazz album… we should have seen this coming. Gaga should really consider trying to connect with us again. And I agree with @Andreu, this can be concerning for future releases. If not even your fans are giving it a try, why would a casual listener?
