No, I can see that, but „good Taylor“. For me it’s the Red kind, where you wanna scream/yell/cry the song along

Its definitely giving Taylor Swift pop in that Red/1989 era before Jack Antonoff's production ruined pop music

Okay

This is her best album since her The Fame/Fame Monster/Born This Way Imperial age

I agree. I don't know if the critics will get it, but who fekking cares? 

This album is explosively fun and silly in a way that she hasn't been since ARTPOP, which I'd argue should be counted as the final (and fraught) album in her imperial phase. (There's often a "backlash album" moment that ends a pop musician's imperial age. Pop's women juggernauts, sspecifically, seem to get dethroned with backlash more often than they just quietly fade away from the public no longer paying attention.

Sadly I hate T Swizz. Comparisons are warranted and it's kind of off-putting on that song for me.

Does Killah have the Bowie strings from the Babylon demo? Am i tripping 

I think so, which makes me think she was probably going for the Bowie sound for Chromatica at first but they changed direction and now she went all the way with it

Ok I was so not ready for Mayhem - I thought it was one thing and then Gaga turned around and delivered this funky, 80s, Bowie, Prince, summery, beautiful piece of art.

 

Ready for mixed reviews, but to me this is truly a masterpiece. Mayhem works so well - this is all aspects of Gaga wrapped into one. From Fame to ARTPOP to Joanne… all of Gaga’s eras are somehow woven into this record plus a heavy dose of 80’s. I’m in awe and in love

Happy Mistake could've fit so perfectly in here

I literally refused to believe that it's not a Mayhem outtake ever since she mentioned that HM is about her career + the broken mirrors line

Disclaimer: I had high high expectations and this was just my first listen. I see many songs growing at me already. Sometimes it just takes some time for me. I wasnt even sure if id liked abracadabra that much after first listen but now its my fave song.

 

Its a good album. I kinda time traveled while listening. Its got old school vibes; very 70/80/90 but with new production. Jackson, Prince, Bowie, Tina Turner, and other older pop stars.  

It was diffrent from what I was expecting. I was ready for  hardcore beats/sound. This one is more funky, bit glam rocky. I will now listen to it over and over. Im intrested which one ends up beein my fave. I just enjoy it very much. I think her vocals are great. Havent listen to the deluxe version yet.

If I find it better than Born This Way, I’ll send my nudes to 10 fans, just because I can.
