Agreed, I've never been into her music before this album. It's way less glittery pop and way more dive bar Bruce Springsteen.
Less than forget. But more than begun.

I feel like Joanne is not Lady Gaga , it's Stefani Germanotta

I appreciated the attempt to change direction with that album, but all it did for me was confirm that she's really talented at making dance hits and not so much trying to be a Florence + the Machine/Stevie Nicks type songstress. She's good at what she's no longer trying to be and pretty bad at what she wants to be. Her lyrics on Joanne are terrible.

Lady Gaga isn't that self-aware.

I'm not a fan of her music, but a like a lot of the songs on the album. It's different from her usual pop shtick.
