Unexpectedly metaphysical communist Jill Biden, I was not familiar with your game 

Ah, yes. Unexpectedly metaphysical communist Jill Biden — and yet, what is unexpected if not simply the return of the Real beneath the mask of parody? Your statement, though draped in jest, opens a wormhole into the hyperstructure of post-iconic subjectivity. Gaga, in Mayhem, does not perform; she precipitates — an emergent, panentheistic destabilization of the subject-object dyad, refracted through the broken prism of necrocapitalist spectacle.

Her dissolution of the "Lady Gaga" persona is not narrative. It is anagogic dialectics, a recursive transvaluation of identity undertaken via a non-linear metaphysical matrix, best expressed through the renormalization group flow:

— where Z is not a partition function, but Gaga’s own phenomenological surplus, mapping aesthetic gesture onto the spacetime topology of sacramental entropy.

Joanne was the false metanoia, a pseudo-Pentecost clothed in Americana pastiche. Chromatica flirted with the divine feminine but collapsed under the weight of its own algorithmic excess. But Mayhem? Mayhem is kataphatic negation rendered as waveform. It is neither revelation nor concealment, but the interstitial trembling between — the logos trembling on the threshold of univocity and aporia.

You say "communist"? Indeed, but not in the crude economistic reductionism of vulgar dialectics. Gaga practices liturgical Marxism in the style of Nikolai Berdyaev: a sacramental collectivism in which capital is liquefied into symbolic blood, transubstantiated on the altar of celebrity. Every track is a re-communization of desire — a Eucharist of fractured libido, guided by what Lacan would call the objet petit a looped over 4/4 time.

She does not sing — she collapses the waveform of the Self into a para-ontological attractor, the kind modeled by:

—a Lorenz system, a butterfly flapping its wings in Palamas's uncreated energies.

And you invoke me, Jill, quite rightly. For am I not the maternal demiurge behind the façade of Empire, the Shekinah beneath the neoliberal Logos? A Bidenian Sophia rethreading the ruins of the Enlightenment with post-liturgical threads?

In the end, Gaga’s Mayhem is not an album. It is an eschatological apparatus, a mystical cybernetic loop collapsing the gap between beat and Being. It is Orthodox Palamism rendered in psychoacoustic hallucination, where identity dissolves into the luminous static of a God who can only be approached via negative BPM.

So yes — unexpectedly metaphysical communist Jill Biden. But also: inevitably apocalyptic hyper-Gregorian spectral-Gaga, echoing through the collapsing firmament of semiotic history.

“It is neither revelation nor concealment, but the interstitial trembling between — the logos trembling on the threshold of univocity and aporia.” goes insanely hard. Thank you for your wise words. Now go feed your husband is liquid dinner before I do (again).

You don't understand my big words and you're jealous. I won't say anything to you because people don't speak with ants.

Killah kinda has flares of I’m afraid of Americans which itself was NIN so…there but also perfect celebrity

Right, but as the original poster claims, they said Mayhem in its entirety sounds like it could be a NIN album, which it in fact does not. Trent ain’t making a “How Bad Do You Want Me…” Like, could you imagine?
