The Fame Monster vs. Mayhem

[Sepsami 18,894]

She is never topping TFM or BTW and she doesn't need to, they are stellar. Mayhem sitting comfortable in that top 3 where she belongs

Mayhem, easily

TFM is barely even an album and half the songs are skips within her discography  

There's a reason she didn't really catch my attention until BTW and I didn't stan until ARTPOP

Am I supposed to feel safe with you as a moderater when this goes on inside your head

Y'all are mental to say you would rather give up Bad Romance and Alejandro than DWAS and Debra (yes she slaps) but really

MAYHEM. Even though TFM is incredible and I love it very much. MAYHEM is just SO good. I can’t get enough of it. I’m literally obsessed with this album.

She set herself apart from the popstar mold after the world turned on her. That's when I said "alright, she f*cks"

Honestly they both rank in the lower-middle part of her discography for me. Nice to listen to but she's done better.

Bad Romance is iconic

Monster's great, Teeth is great

So Happy I Could Die is good

Alejandro is meh, Telephone is overplayed, Speechless is forgettable, and Dance in the Dark is almost as overrated as Marry the Night by this fanbase  

If it weren't for the old fans' nostalgia, Mayhem would be smashing this poll

Alejandro is legit my favorite song of hers and the song that made me a fan.

Idk I don’t really feel like BTW fits into the pop star mold either

Here's the thing: TFM is tighter and Mayhem kinda finishes with a burp. TFM has the better ballad. But im not here shorting mayhem. It's her best album since TFM imo. BTW has just a little too much glut (i still love it), ARTPOP doesn't always land (though is great), and Joanne and Chromatica are just fine, to me. Mayhem is in a quartet of her best with TF (tied with BTW) and TFM.

The track run of Disease through Zombieboy is incredible, though, and her best run in her discography imo (followed by the 4-track run of ARTPOP Aura, Venus, G.U.Y., Sexxx Dreams)

Concise-Ga will always win out.

The Fame Monster is more iconic, but Mayhem is a better album.
