The Ew from Judas 1,097 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Now that we know the order of tracks for Mayhem, what are you thoughts on the album opening with Disease and Abracadabra? I honestly found it kind of odd that the two singles we have are tracks one and two on the album, I thought they’d be spread out a bit more. Of course we don’t have the full picture since the album isn’t out yet, but what are your thoughts on the album opening with these two songs?

StarstruckIllusion 52,243 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I think it’s perfect to hook the GP in with songs they know and love, and to have Die With A Smile at the end waiting for them as a treat is great too.

Bronco 8,633 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Honestly it's always been pretty standard for singles/expected singled to be frontloaded on albums in the digital & streaming era - only rock acts/older acts & concept albums skipped this. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

River 111,982 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 It's basically to boost these 2 in the charts Come on and wrap that blade of grass around my hairy ass Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegidadedios 1,854 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) Well, I'm happy about it. Not because they will get a boost on streams as they are the first two songs on the album and singles too (that's also a good point), but because it shows how well thought out the album cycle was and how the label agreed on Gaga's vision for the singles (the exact opposite as of ARTPOP, for ex.)

GagaGame 3,461 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Although this may be the most delulu thing I said... Disease, Abracadabra and DWAS are still grayed out on Spotify, so maybe they will flow with the other tracks so there are no stops/silence? 𝚎𝚢𝚎𝚜 𝚛𝚘𝚕𝚕 𝚋𝚊𝚌𝚔 𝚒𝚗 𝚎𝚌𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚜𝚢 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson123 37,457 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Disease and Abracadabra sound like a great start so far, can’t imagine what’s coming with the rest of Mayhem. I am gonna miss the mystery of wondering how she’s going to start an album (Marry The Night, Diamond Heart, Alice) but this is still fine. Hopefully Disease gets a bit more attention when the album comes out because it deserved to be more successful. People who are curious about Mayhem coming from Abracadabra and Die With A Smile will most likely start from there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVeryGagaHolyDick 23,285 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I prayed that Disease would NOT be the opener cause I don’t think it is opening material AT ALL. Abracadabra sounds more like a real track one to me. But who knows, maybe it will make more sense once I hear the entire record. The three tracks we have are 10/10 though, that’s the most important thing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
