MAYHEM: The Official Discussion Thread (Act II) It’s MAYHEM in here 👹

[pucihendzap 3]

I have listened whole album and I am generally shocked of the sound. Didn't expect the fame vibes, but Gaga sounds so mature and natural here. In that way, Chromatica (probably the worst album lmao) is very fake and Mayhem is a fun for her.

side A is way more pop and uptempo, most of the ballads/more emotional songs are on side B

Holy ****ing bridge game Batman…

Every damn song!  

[JINNOCIDE 3,820]

oh Zombieboy the fan favorite that you're gonna become 

[ByDayAnother 0]

Man, this was disappointing. Like, I don’t even have comprehensive criticism, it’s as simple as “meh”, which is wild because when Gaga is good, she’s the best in terms of dance pop songwriting, and when she’s bad, it’s at least camp. I literally can’t remember anything. Perfect Celebrity and Shadow Of A Man were enjoyable, I think. The irony is that Die With A Smile fits the album better than the singles after all. If you were expecting industrial and house, adjust your expectations drastically.

Yes but it’s different than what I imagined tbh. The snippet from the TCB Film is part of the intro, not the full intro tho.

It’s so beautiful !!! Sitting in the sunshine in the park behind Berghain, blasting LoveDrug. Only future skip for me personally is Killah, it’s fun, just not my vibe 

Yeah me too Killah is really not my vibe at all apart from the bridge.

It's a completely different vibe aside from Abracadabra. Much more rock/grunge/funk. It's a groove album instead of a dance album.

Oh no this is a dance album. Baby we are going back to the 70s-80s and 2000s! Get on your rhinestones and sequins for this album!

[Mr Oak 7,481]

Vanish Into You should be a single, it's very summery

[Red 96,448]

Are the lyrics on genius already? I want to listen reading lyrics

[Gagaism 10,509]

Ok, my favorites so far in no particular order: Disease, Abra, Garden Of Eden, Vanish Into You, Don’t Call Tonight, Shadow of a Man. 
 

From the new ones, Shadow of a Man I think it’s my favorite.

the beast is one of her best songg

[ode 1,466]

The first half of this album feels like 2025 remixes of "The Fame" outtakes.

In the best way.

[HermesG 1,346]

Guys its good..!

In ANYWAY its NOT an Gothic dark pop album i was waiting for (Gaga girl.. )

I d say its a 90's-80's influenced pop/funk/light pop rock.

I need some more listenings to say whats my favs but from the 1st listening i thing Perfect Celebrity (maybe the only one kinda "goth"?)
