You might say, Who cares?, but RYM is a solid predictor of emerging trends, and its year-end list often foreshadows those of major critics. Every year, these music geeks elevate a mainstream album to cult status, marking both its cultural impact and critical acclaim. Last year, it was Brat; this year, it looks like Mayhem’s turn. Disease already received glowing reviews, but Abracadabra takes things further, winning over serious collectors, geeks, metal lovers etc. and beyond. I am shocked. Normally, these people like to copy paste one star to Gaga in frenzy. It is almost they finally passed the psychological barrier of loving Gaga.

I feel like Mayhem will be remembered as Fever or Ray of Light -much missed, sophisticated return to form with a promise of an artistic rebirth. The narrative is shaping up that way rather quickly. 

Well, also, go support your Queen on RYM, AOTY kind of websites!

I'm pretty sure it's because the website has been starting to have more audiences of pop music for years. I know some of her singles scores have been rising slowly.

That's been said, 3.8+ is really beyond my expectation. It's even had 4.0+ initially.

If you're a musichead you know this is actually kind of insane 

The way this is one of her most acclaimed songs in years

Yes but Beyoncé, FKA.. you name it… all these girls had been getting good support except Gaga. It’s more about collective readiness to embrace her music.
