Judas vs. Abracadabra

[getbehindmybarrier 1,194]

Judas was the first song on BTW, other than the lead, I heard because it leaked.  It literally blew my mind and I knew she was going for some weird ****, which I love. The production and the way they used the engine sounds as baseline. Her screaming sound vocals. The talky singy almost bored disinfection verses into the beautiful chorus. That bridge! 

 

Abra is also amazing. However, I don't think it surprised me as much since she played the hard hitting section in Paris. But I do think it is the better written whole piece. 

 

Disease, however, is that bitch to this day. It goes so hard.

judas → bad romance

Yes, by far

[AVeryGagaHolyDick 32,036]

Both amazing and top 10 in her discography but Judas has a better bridge (it actually has two bridges!) and a more impressive instrumental even though it’s a bit less “eternal”

But I have to go with Judas cause the “I cling to” part destroys most of Gaga’s own discography with ease

Abracadabra is my #2 favorite Gaga song ever behind Vanish Into You. Judas is my #3 

 

all masterpieces

Abra cuz recency bias is taking hold of me arghgyh

[Ayesha Erotica 1,925]

Very hard to decide. When Abra was released, it reminded me of Judas and I thought Mayhem will be a return to her roots because of that

Either one loves both or hates both as both are very similair in beat and melody; I love both

Might be recency bias, but I voted for Debra

Haha, very good arguments

So, we have glorious nostalgia bias versus trendy novelty bias

tbh, both bias are strong and neutralize each other

for me it's even, it's a tie

Abracadabra 

 

Abracadabra joins Poker Face, Bad Romance, BTW and Shallow in Gagas holy icon songs 

 

And i should add DWAS

Abracadabra is Bad Romance level. It follows the exact same structure and has hook after hook 

[LadyLittleMonster 26]

Judas is top tier for me. Off the top of my head, top 5 for me.
