Honestly she needs to re-record ARTPOP with 2025 production and some lyric edits. Remove a few songs and I would eat it up I like the final bridge and added vocal layers in SD (as well as the re-writes for MANiCURE), but the final vocals for the verses of Aura, the dilution of the atmosphere on the title track, the way the instrumentals got flattened in the engineering, the lack of grit on Swine…imo, get some live drumming, some slightly rawer/live sounding vocal takes on these tracks, some electric guitars in addition to a lot of the production layers we already have and mama, we’re cooking with ****.

Random story but I remember pressing play on the album for the first time and hearing the "oh-ma-ma" "oh-ma-ma-ga-ga" during Alice waiting for this chorus to hit and once it dropped I was like She had me with the hook in the beginning and completely abandoned it... so I'm not adding Alice to the list. Everything else I'm unfortunately not a fan of Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley 9,393 Posted Sunday at 05:26 AM Share Posted Sunday at 05:26 AM Not all the Chromatica hate it’s not her best album but it’s by no means terrible. 911 is one of the best songs on the album too imo, it’s beautifully written and you really get inside Gaga’s mind. Anyway, I doubt she’s the only one reposting videos on her account because it’s just too many reposts lol. 3 15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joanne: Come To Mama and Perfect Illusion Chromatica: Sour Candy and Sine From Above Not sure if there are more but two alone is wild considering how she spoke about songs earlier in her career 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even by the quality alone but the fact that she just straight up bought fully written songs on both and recorded them I’m so ****ing glad she’s back with Mayhem and now she’s celebrating her best album ARTPOP Agree but ARTPOP also had songs which were at least instumentally basically already written and gaga just stepped in with lyrics and finishing 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But tbh I think they served very necessary functions in her career + development as an artist, are still very good albums, and I don’t think MAYHEM would really have been possible without either of them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AP is good, but imo is overhyped as **** and I think the live versions absolutely clear the studio versions. Would love to see AP reworked with the balance of digital and analog production she did on MAYHEM tbh. The swinefest demos we saw of AP songs are significantly more interesting than what came on the final album edit. But I think its a running trait of Gaga that her live mixes are always more dynamic and interesting because she uses live instruments rather than audio tracks.
