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

[Anomaly 154]

Does anyone else feel like the ending of Zombieboy almost sounds like it originally led into the beginning of Shadow of a Man, and then was later changed? Feels like the tracklisting probably got swapped around a little.

I hope “turning the tables” will react to this. I feel like the hot dad would love this. But they never done Gaga before.

In my opinion most of the album isn't comparable to her previous work. Abracadabra is an exception in that regard. I feel like her songwriting style has changed quite a lot since Chromatica. 

The music isn't as focused on just having one big central hook, as it was in the past. There are catchy hooks on Mayhem for sure, but the lyrics and the production are very rich and detailed all the way through every song. It makes the music a little less structured or formulaic - for better or worse depending on who you ask.

Does that make sense?

Progressive...pop?? auuuhh

I have not heard it yet. I have heard most of GOE in lofi, the singles and a couple clips. I am frothing over every clip and description. 
 

as far as those hating or criticizing here’s my take. Every one is entitled to an opinion, and-

I have had albums, songs (even LG) and artists where at first I’m like the Kombucha lady frowning and grimacing. And then eventually I get into it. So my two cents is it may be a grower for some. 
 

but magic potions take time. 

Oh yeah, whatever happened to magic potions take time, I can't find any references to it in the album. Hmm..

[nATAH 45,302]

ok my only complaint is that i was hoping this was gunna be an instrumental on the album, like a cool intro or outro

does any song has a similar vibe to So Happy I Could Die? 

Absolutely not

After first listen I’m personally so disappointed. Makes me appreciate Chromatica so much more  maybe I need a second round listen or some visuals. Shadow, HBDYWM and Abra are probably the only stand outs.

I feel the same and I'm absolutely devastated. I'm sure it'll grow with me over time but I just cannot get into it.

Dont Call Tonight is a bop
