One week of MAYHEM - what would you have told yourself pre-March 7?

[Vengaboy 1,281]

I meant to ask this on Friday but the forum was down so here we are  

MAYHEM has now been out in the wild for just over a week. What would you have told yourself/someone else about the album that you know now and didn’t anticipate back on March 6?

Vanish Into You it will sound great

This album is a different dimension of music. You will definitely like it. Electronic, pop, The Fame vibes and ballads.

Overall I'm glad album is enjoyable and mature. I want to listen to more and I was shocked when I was driving home and suddenly Garden Of Eden came on my local radio

Agree.

There are really no skips...i thought LoveDrug, Dont Call Tonight and The Beast are meh...but I was wrong. I guess watching reactions on YouTube helped.

I anticipated grunge or dark...but this is better, a mayhem of sounds by her and her influences.

don't try to listen to it in the car with your boyfriend wait to be alone in your room with no light and big sound.

Completely ignore any idea you have about the album, lower your expectations, and just enjoy it for what it is! There are some gems but it's a major grower for you so don't spiral if you don't love it immediately   and don't listen to it for the first time severely hungover on release day.. wait one more day it won't kill you

Listen. and enjoy.

Prepare for a sugar rush. You're going to love it more than you expected to.

- Don't worry about what the singles sound like and how they represent the overall album. 

- It won't be all dark pop but in a good way.

- Don't listen to what fans are saying about it pre-release.

- You were right, this album will be the most critically acclaimed of her career.

- This album will make you feel young and rejuvenated again.
