It was my favourite after first listen. Love it. 

Vanish Into You grew on me massively, so they are my top two now. 

Yeah, I was in a similar boat: VIY didn’t immediately click with me, but Killah did. That being said, I absolutely love VIY now

same for VIY, once you get throught all the screaming intro, it's pretty great! the verses and bridge are the best part which is a shame because the verses are sooooo short

I like the intro, but I think the overall vibe was the thing that I had to settle into. I really enjoy it, but I think it’s also probably the first major left turn on the album and so me being a bit caught off guard by an ABBA-inspired, 80s new wave ballad was probably why it didn’t immediately click haha. But I agree that the verses are beautiful (the layered harmonies in particular are iconic)

Killah is one of the biggest surprises of the album. When I saw that it featured Gesaffelstein I thought it'd be very electronic so when I first listened to it I didn't know what to think. I love when Gaga does music that is very out of the box for her and not surprised fans that only want her to do TFM/BTW/Abracadabra type of songs are not loving it that much, but it's silly to go to the point of calling it "a skip" or "the worst" because it's a bop. Definitely Top 5 for me and you can see she had so much fun making it and performing it so I know she must have a great idea for a music video for it, hope she does it.

I don’t think this song actually gets that much hate?

I’M A KILLAAAAAH!

It's rly fun and cute, and you can tell Gaga is living in this song, but it doesn't go nearly as hard and dirty as I'd have liked considering it's Gesaffelstein and inspired by the likes of Prince. I find it a little too tame and cheesy. 

For me the song needs more dirt and grit, (more of that filthy electronic squelch to contrast with the live-sounding industrial drums), and it could've done with a real sense of menace to it to counter the silliness (similar to Teeth e.g. - and while the lyrics are very sexual, they're unconvincing imo because there's isn't really any actual sex appeal to the song. Shame considering sex appeal was what Prince excelled in). This song sound more like a parody of a sex song to me. But whatever it's still a bop

I agree. I rly like the verses in VIY, they've got that old-school 60's psychedelic rock feel and it's rly effective and I kinda wish the whole song followed that vibe. But I do find bits of the chorus to be too shrill and the instrumental to be a bit of an odd and jarring mishmash. But it is ridiculously catchy I gotta admit.

Call me crazy but I prefer music that isn't an irritating challenge to get through, miss thing

The song is more enjoyable than I initially gave it credit for, but then.........

You, ordering buttered noodles for dinner at a Michelin star Italian restaurant: Call me crazy, but I prefer food that doesn’t challenge my pallet, miss thing! 
 

Aside, I respect you dying on this bridge even though I think you’re dead wrong
