It’s not loud enough. Garden of Eden needs to hit harder. 

I think it's meant to have Swine styled ass behind it tbh. I've noticed they both have that bass as the driving factor but they're only at their deepest/loudest on the dance bit.

So, for Swine it's after the drop but for GoE it's the "I'll t-t-take you" bit. If it hit that hard through the whole song it'd be exhausting to listen to :bear:

💅Too cute to be this overworked and underf*cked💅

I think it’s a little of both, though. Bc yes everything you said but also Gaga has been very adamant about the intentionality she brings to the general sound quality of an album. Not just the “vibe” but the literal textural quality she wants her albums to have and that def comes down to mixing and mastering

Yes, but a master is very different to intentionality behind production and mixing. Artists have no control over the master because it's purely a product of the format it is consumed on. There are certain standards it is required to meet. Loudness wars are a product of the CD era and they have remained through the streaming era, with even vinyl being affected at times. Most people are not hearing the music as it's truly intended. MAYHEM on hi-res 24bit digital as a DR rating of 5 out of 14.

Here's the high DR version of "Vanish Into You" for comparison. This is how artists want their music to sound.

and here's the Dynamic Range database for anyone interested in Gaga's ratings and which versions of her albums sound best

Lord Mayhem

My only complaint is the Abracadabra hiccup...

The other songs are intentionally "noisier" based on the tone of the song and message i.e. Perfect Celebrity, Disease, and GoE which would have fit with BTW's production style
