Let’s be honest about dead dance

I like it, but I think what would really elevate The Dead Dance is a better/clearer transition from the first verse to the first chorus. From what I remember, it starts off as this haunting ambient soundscape and then she goes YEAHILLKEEPON and we get a disco jumpscare

This.

Tbh I would find it more interesting if it kept that haunting trancey vibe from the beginning and a more unique chorus. At least trance would be a different sound that isn't really on Mayhem.

OR, more of the synths that are in the "creature of the night" part of the second verse.

Ok sure, I love it. Also it sounds nothing like bloody Mary at all, even the synths

I love the instrumental, production. The lyrics are ok, but the post-chorus is so repetitive ddd

For now, I think it’s the weakest song in Mayhem.

At the end of the day - monsters box Gaga in more than the general public. 
 

Everyone hates HBDYWM for example - meanwhile songs like Eh Eh exist all the way back to The Fame. 
 

Gaga does multiple genres multiple ways - while I don’t think the video is a slay - this is Gaga, The Dead Dance has a killer chorus with the “killed me inside - came alive-“ section. 

Not everything has to be BTW/Fame Monster and not every single has to be your personal choice. 
 

I say eat while the getting is good. I remember the droughts.

Tbh to me it just sounds like the Tadum thing on Netflix of her performing Bloody Mary (in the middle of zombie boy and abracadabra) recycled. This sounds harsh but it’s not the lady Gaga I grew up with, and hasn’t been since before chromatica

“Recycled?” You realize she was teasing the song, right? …right? This would be like saying she recycled the HML instrumental from the episode of Gagavision she teased it in

I will say we need official remixes that lean more into the electronic/trance side.

She loves it

It fits Gaga, it fits MAYHEM, it fits Wednesday, it fits the viral Bloody Mary version, it is very in line with the music of campy Horror shows like the Addams Family & the Munsters.. It is a good song for what it is. A goodfy fun campy Halloween bop.

Now that’s it has a potential to do good on charts , I love this song. let’s see though, if it doesn’t become top 10 hit I’ll hate it

Good! Fun.. But not a top 10 song from her.
