I put a gold star next to the tracks I saved to my liked songs Reveal hidden contents Alice - Boring. Nothing else I can say. Pass. Stupid Love - Anticlimactic? Suffers from the same issue a lot of remixes have. It goes no where and hardly resembles the song it's a remix of. Pass. Rain on Me - Sounds like it was put in a blender. Pass. ⭐ Free Woman - GODDAMN BOP! REDEMPTION! BETTER THAN THE ALBUM VERSION!!!!! Second only to the demo. Queen. Fun Tonight - Sounds like it was made with the same program small bar owners used to use to make cheap karaoke versions of hit songs. Then they just put those four bars on repeat Pass. ⭐ 911 - Not bad tbh. She's singing "Cry. Can't see me cry." though so...either she has the lyrics wrong or I do lmao. Plastic Doll - Never thought I'd hear "drink bleach" on a Lady Gaga song. Not a fan of the rapping. Lowkey a bop for the chorus but I expected more after the video we saw. Sour Candy - Not them getting rid of the best lyrics on the song. Hard pass. Enigma - A prime example of one reason why I personally hate remixes. At what point do you stop calling this a "remix of Enigma" and just say it's a club beat that samples like two lines of Enigma? The rest of the song is absent regrettable pass. ⭐ Replay - Rammstein meets Diana Ross? I like the rock elements tbh. Not quite sold on it but it's certainly interesting. Sine From Above - Literally. Unlistensble. Especially the end. Good god. 1000 Doves - Sorry I'm still in shock over how bad SFA is. Thank god this remix has nothing going on, I can just cope with the trauma caused by the fact that the best song on Chromatica was done the absolute dirtiest on the remix album. Pass on the doves for coming after that train wreck and not making me feel better. ⭐ Babylon - A jam. This is what a remix should be imo. Keep the original spirit intact, dress it up in a new outfit, add your own flare, and strut it out. Again, a jam. ⭐ Babylon (Haus Labs Version) - A bop. Clearly not what we asked for but I'm very happy to have it anyway. Fans can add the high harmonies and Bowie samples. Keep in mind, I do not like remixes so I, obviously, have some negative opinions. But there were a few surprises I totally agree with the gold star songs as being the ones I will return too. Some of the tracks removed her vocals too much, made her voice unrecognisable or made her a ‘featured’ artist on her own song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling 31,534 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 First play: I was full on expecting to not like several tracks as I listened to many of her collaborators and did not necessarily vibe. HOWEVER, I'm happy to report that I BOPPED to every single track! Even my skips (Stupid Love, Fun Tonight, Plastic Doll) were much improved and reimagined. Those that didn't enjoy this album maybe weren't open to other artists interpretations of the songs. -Highlights- Alice * Ok what are y'all b*tching about?! I'm grinding my a** to this slayage Free Woman * Rina can do no wrong in my eyes but DAYUM she killed it! I became a Born Again gay to this track Plastic Doll * One of my least fav from Chromatica but WOW this made me wanna b*tch slap "real boy" she's talking to Sour Candy * Kinda disappointed at Gaga's iconic verse being removed AKA my fav part of the song, but I want Shygirl to stomp on my face with her boot while this plays at a German nightclub Enigma * I EXPECT TO HEAR THIS AT EVERY GAY B*THH*USE AND DARKROOM IN THE WORLD REPLAY * Ok Dorian OWNED!!! The alt early 00s kid inside me is living! The aggression is REQUIRED SFA * Definitely not my fav, but not as bad as y'all make it out to be HOWEVER, I literally exercised a gay demon during 1000 Doves * Was already one of my favs but this gave me Robyn and 80's synth vibes. A trance!!!! Both Babylons are great but Gaga is BOSSY in HL version and I want her to dominate me! Overall a super solid project, as I really never enjoy majority of remix albums. So glad we have this to breathe life back into the forgotten era, and also to get exposure for these incredibly talented artists! Hopefully some visuals are coming! Free Woman, Replay, and Babylon HL need videos! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk what everyone is complaining about with it (aside from the missing Bowie guitars). It's a damn bop and the absolute attitude she gives on the album version shines through even more here You're stinky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling 31,534 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I forgot to mention that ROM is.... interesting. I'll give it more listens but wasn't danceable imo. 911 was underwhelming unfortunately, but will definitely give it more time. These were my two least fav besides SFA.

n1kos 5,365 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Free Woman is insane! It should have been the final version of the album and it could be easily be the first single! Rina is... OMG 😍 1000 Doves! My favorite remix so far! I loved it from the first time I listened to it! So psychedelic sound!! Babylon Bree Remix - It's Perfect too, they kept the Saxophone that I really love 😍 Fun Tonight with those Latin tones is really awesome, one of my favorites too! 911, Sour Candy and Replay are perfect too! Alice, Stupid Love, Rain on me and Sine from above are the only remixes they are indifferent! Specially SFA is They did so good job though, I'm really bored of Remix Albums but this is really good! My top 5 Free Woman 1000 Doves Babylon Bree Fun Tonight 911 Good luck Queen!!! 💚💚 I will fly on a challenger across the sky like a phoenix.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I was listening to DOC I noticed that for her to work the interludes with a monologue that tied into these vastly different songs would be so time consuming. She’s filming her music video and preparing for her own album. I totally understandable as to why she missed the deadline. It looks like her visuals are going to be insane toooo.

ARTGOD 3,266 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 3 hours ago, ProfessionalClown said: He released the haus labs version. Not the early version. He said this version is near identical to what was submitted for the haus labs commercial just without the lyrics. not to be rude af but seriously get over yourself. The dude literally is behind the whole remix album even happening. Without him this wouldn’t exist. Now the Haus Labs version is supposed to be different from the Early Version? Honey they were different names from the same thing for the longest time, now that people didn’t get what they wanted people are like “well, you should’ve asked for the right thing lol”. He was also asked if the V Magazine version was the version he was releasing and he said yes, so he lied or simply didn’t know they were different versions. Why are you telling me to get over myself when I don’t even care about this stupid remix? I’m just gagging over the mess and how childish people are being over it. The meltdowns and the excuses over a badly handled release are just baffling. Disliking one bad song doesn’t mean I’m not enjoying the rest of the album, thank you very much. 4 hours ago, Shiv said: I must have missed one of these HL leaks, because it sounds exactly the way I remember. From the original Haus Labs ad? Except with album vocals mixed in, which I already expected. I mean yeah the instrumental is the same from the commercial, but once the V Magazine version leaked a lot of people shifted to wanting that version that has the Bowie guitar and different vocals, but they both got called “the Haus Labs version” so everyone was asking for slightly different things under the same name. I think the disappointment comes from the vocals mostly. They’re clearly the album vocals which do not fit this instrumental, while the V Magazine version has vocals and harmonies that do play well with the instrumental, that’s why everyone is now like “hey, we wanted it like that”. It’s just a mess that could’ve been avoided by better communication and a better understanding by fans of how demos work. I would’ve liked at least a different take of the vocals that fit the instrumental better so it didn’t feel so slapped together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbap 11 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 This is sad. One huge mess. Only songs that are listenable are Free Woman and Plastic Doll. I hate remixes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
