Two Months of MAYHEM...

[Mars 2,251]

Killah was and still is my fave, I love its spunky energy.

CTSH and KFL need justice, I wish they were on the standard edition.

Its my feel good album, if I need a boost of confidence Mayhem gets played.

Vanish Into You grew on me massively, I love it

The first half of the album is a lot stronger than the second

Abracadabra, Garden of Eden, Perfect Celebrity, Vanish Into You is one of the strongest runs

Killah is the Teeth of this album, in that it's the one song that really sticks out to the others. Teeth took a few years to grow on me too.

Zombieboy and LoveDrug are great

How Bad Do U Want Me grew on me, especially the chorus

I want to like Shadow of a Man but something about it is really lacklustre and it has an underwhelming intro

Don't Call Tonight is basic and generic but it's grown on me. I love the bridge, the way the backing vocal sings it before the lead vocal repeats it was a cool idea.

Blade of Grass could have been a more beautiful ballad, it's ok but the vocals are a bit rough... Replace it with Happy Mistake

DWAS still doesn't belong

I can live without the bonus tracks

Mayhem dropped coinciding a really difficult patch in my personal life and now that I’m beyond it and listening to it in a happier headspace it sounds even more fresh. It’s such a summer album so I love that it dropped just as it started to get warmer where I am, it’s only going to sound even better in the summer

The songs I initially was lukewarm to have grown on me considerably. I’m afraid to express my true opinion on The Beast for my own safety though 

[Lucas 25,767]

Initial top 3: Perfect Celebrity, Zombieboy, Shadow Of A Man
Actual top 3: Perfect Celebrity, Shadow Of A Man, Killah

But I already don't listen to the album that much anymore

It’s her best album for me. Born This Way and Joanne are tied for second, but Mayhem has something about it that rises above those two. 

[SevenWonder 4,264]

Somehow I like it more after two months. I think that's because each song is so unique from the other songs that it never feels repetitive. 

My top three after the first listen: GoE, PC, Abra

My top three now: Lovedrug, VIY, How Bad

But every song is so well crafted, so well produced, that none of them have grown stale just yet. In fact, the only song I skip is Blade of Grass. It's not that it's a bad song, I just have to be in the mood.

Mayhem is one of her strongest work yet.

Vanish Into You is still the best song on the album for me. It keeps growing on me. 

I used to like Zombieboy at first listen, but it has become one of the weakest track. I don't think it will age well.

It has been my least fave Gaga album so far but that doesn't mean it's at all bad or a chore to listen to

I've been diving into pop/rock oldies from like the 50s, 60s + 70s again so I tend to gravitate towards Harlequin, C2C + L4S over Mayhem 

Also justice for LoveDrug, Kill for Love & Can't Stop the High  those 3 as singles would have won over the GP instantly

I’m curious what @Ladle Ghoulashs opinion on HBDYWM is after 2 months! 

[Mirrion Rizzons 10,705]

I can’t remember my initial rankings, but it’s now 

1. Disease

2. Debisha 

3. Vanisha 

4. Killah 

5. Garden Of Eden

6. The Beast

7. Perfect Celebrity

8. Blade Of Grass

9. Shadow Of A Man (overplayed it) 

10. Die With A Smile

11. Zombieboy

12. How Bad Do U Want Me

13. Love Drug

14. Don’t Call Tonight

Previously, I think My Bottom three was Killah, Don’t Call Tonight and HBDUWM last, but I am now obsessed with Killah and HBDUWM has grown on me. 
 

I will Say the album would be better without Love Drug and DCT - they sound to samey sonically to the likes of Zombieboy and SOAM and makes the album blur together a bit too much. The run from disease to Zombieboy is pretty perfect, but then it kinda goes downhill until SOAM. 
 

It ranks third for me, after TFM & BTW.

 

1. TFM 

2. BTW (highest highs, but again, it would be better without the deluxe tracks and like hair) 

3. Mayhem

4. ARTPOP

5. Chromatica 

6. The Fame

7. Joanne

Isn’t DWAS a nice encore to this Album though?
