SpadesToStart 3,349 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 So...I came up with an alternate order for the songs on MAYHEM. I love pretty much every song individually, but the album just didn't flow for me as well as I think it had the potential to. For example, the sequence of Garden of Eden to Perfect Celebrity to Vanish Into You always gave me a lot of whiplash that almost detracted from how amazing each of those songs are. I also included the two bonus tracks. The bones of Gaga's tracklist are still there, but having listened to this all the way through last night, I absolutely love the changes I made. 1. Perfect Celebrity 2. Disease 3. Abracadabra 4. Can't Stop The High 5. Garden of Eden 6. Killah 7. Zombieboy 8. LoveDrug 9. Vanish Into You 10. Don't Call Tonight 11. Shadow Of A Man 12. Kill For Love 13. The Beast 14. Blade Of Grass 15. Die With A Smile Couple notes: -I think Perfect Celebrity makes for an amazing opener. It was the working title for the album after all, and the song's anger and concept of duality feeds well into what Disease is all about. -Killah is a better intro to the more funky side of the album than Vanish Into You. It really lubes you up for the songs that follow it. -This tracklist takes you on a journey with a bit more sonic cohesion. IMO it flows really well from Dark Pop to Funk to Disco to the final three "cool down" songs. However it also maintains the 'crazy night out' journey that Gaga has talked about. -You may be asking, "Where is How Bad Do U Want Me?" And to that I say 2 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Axel 795 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I've been thinking a lot about this too, obvs the album is a banger but the tracklist order could use some work haha I personally agree Perfect Celebrity should've been either first or right after Disease, then I would put VIY right before The Beast as a bittersweet transition to the "cooldown tracks" section you mentioned at the end, and maybe CSTH right after GOE instead, but I do like your order as well ʟɪᴠɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇ ɢᴏʟᴅ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱɪʟᴠᴇʀ ᴅʀᴇᴀᴍ ϟ†▽✰𝒿 ~Ɐ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
banjosnap 175 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 DAAS as opener & Vanish as closer makes most sense to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim 2,217 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Haven't tried this yet but my instinct is to move The Beast in between Killah and Zombieboy A little breather before the dancing continues. Also I think it would do more justice for it when it's not in a clump with Blade of Grass and Die With A Smile in the end I'm probably wrong Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I just couldn’t resist pairing it with Kill For Love tho, they’re such great mirrors of each other) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinasawachanta 3,013 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 The same thing happens to me! I love the album but I enjoy listening to it so much more in my own order, I think it flows better.

HeavyMetal Halcyon 1,699 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) @ChvVolk & @SpadesToStart leaving How Bad Do You Want Me off their track listings IMO it goes really well before or after Vanish Into You Edited March 17 by HeavyMetal Halcyon Chromatica Forever Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
