I genuinely love every single song on Mayhem so much.  I can’t possibly rank them.  So instead I’ve made a list of influences each song touches on. 

Disease - Nine Inch Nails

Abracadabra - Classic Gaga

Garden of Eden - 2007 Britney/Nelly Furtado

Perfect Celebrity - Hole/Linkin Park

Vanish Into You - Duran Duran/Wham!

Killah - Prince/David Bowie

Zombieboy - Early Madonna/B-52’s

Lovedrug - Foreigner/Journey

How Bad Do U Want Me - Yazoo/Michelle Branch

Don’t Call Tonight - Ace of Bass/Pet Shop Boys

Shadow of a Man - Michael/Janet Jackson

The Beast - Phil Collins

Blade of Grass - Pat Benetar

Die With a Smile - Sonny & Cher

As a massive NIN fan, there’s bits of NIN in more songs. The ending of Garden of Eden is very Year Zero, Perfect Celebrity is so With Teeth meets Pretty Hate Machine, especially the ending, and Trent’s soundtrack work in the beginning of the song, some of my NIN friends thought Can’t Stop the High and The Beast had some moments as well. I’ve read a few from the NIN sub and Fantano thinking Killah had moments too. The sub has been sharing a lot of songs and thoughts there, generally positive so it’s been nice to see! It makes sense bc Trent was also very inspired by Bowie and Prince.

I would say the same about the MJ influence. Honestly, she masterfully blended so many styles and vibes into each song it's nuts :giveup:

The drums on the choruses of Disease and Perfect Celebrity also feel very Manson to me

I don't think that's intentional but I hear... Spice Girls on the Gonna make the curtains part of Killah

Shadow of a man is definitely Spice Girls though
