Critics have hailed the original release of “DISEASE” as a career-defining moment for Gaga. Harper’s Bazaar called it “classic Gaga in the best way,” while BBC lauded its “dark, dazzlingly maximalist” production. Clash highlighted the “killer chorus,” and The Independent declared it “her best in a long while,” dubbing it a “potent dose of dungeon-dark electro-pop.” The Guardian praised its “fizzing, distorted synths” and “pounding, slightly industrial beat” as a nostalgic nod to late 2000s Gaga, while Rolling Stone raved about its “cavernous synth line” and “shout-along chorus.”
The cinematic music video, directed by the visionary Tanu Muino, has been equally celebrated. Vogue named it “one of the best videos of the year,” with W describing it as a “theater-like, cinematic experience.” Uproxx called the visuals “haunting” and praised them for making the track’s passionate lyrics even more powerful.
