TheARTPOPball 785 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 (edited) 12 hours ago, bpmMonkey said: "Dark" is such a weird concept for me in regards to Gaga. Her lyrical content has always been dark on any given album, even Joanne in a form. Her music videos are always high concept and Disease and Abra are hella "dark". Her sound design has never been "dark" except maybe Bloody Marry... people just like to complain and complain and complain. Also, hot take, if they want "dark", pop as a genre isn't where you find this. Listen to some hard rock, metal, emo and all their sub genres. dark video: Ive come to assume when people say dark they are just referring to born this way songs like electric chapel, bloody mary, marry the night, heavy metal lover, or even teeth from tfm. Those heavy sounds that produce gothic imagery with the church bells but also the theming of the lyrics Edited October 7 by TheARTPOPball Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
monketsharona 84,855 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 (edited) Disease is an amazing an a glow up comparing her two previous lead single. The music video is such a great video as well. Especially for horror fans Fans consider it as bad just because it flopped that's it. Edited October 7 by monketsharona 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You turn on Disease and the video is what you'd expect from that song, just not executed well. Turn on Abracadabra and you're blown back by something that came out of nowhere. I’d take the Disease MV over the Abra MV any day tbh 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy 12,081 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 I've personally liked everything up to TDD but that's for a kids show so lol just not for me and that's chill. I'll say most of Mayhem isn't all that dark imo, but it does have a certain 80s gothic horror flick flair that's fun! Though imo this era has been the most widely praised since ARTPOP and BTW 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roughhouse Dandy 11,935 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 (edited) Darkga will always satisfy me. Disease deserves Abra success if not more. Edited October 7 by Roughhouse Dandy This is my Hannah Montana™️ lipgloss. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEANUS 15,674 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 (edited) I disagree because this fan base hasn’t been as united as we were for Abracadabra in a loooong time. We were definitely very satisfied as a fan base IMO. Disease was also rather loved on release no? Commercial performance aside I think it was very well received critically and by the fans. The video was kinda warm received but Disease is definitely a more loved lead single than Perfect Illusion and Stupid Love Edited October 7 by TEANUS British social ladies with upturned pinkies, glasses clinking // xoxoTEANUS 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwerk 7,289 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 I love DarkGa, I love JazzGa, I do not care much for TikTokGa. Dead Dance is a fun song, but it doesnt feel as genuine to me as most kr her other work because its made to be a TikTok dance hit. Things dont work that way and I think people see through it, her fans especially. Disease was instant love for me. Cannot wait to hear it live. According to Gaga I'm a ****ing rad bitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video is cheap as f, there's nothing creepy about it. Again, the same problem with "TDD", an ok song with a boring and nothing special video. If you want a real reaction to a real DarkGa, then check out the ABRACADABRA reaction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She got it right on GOE and Abracadabra, not so much on the other tracks of Mayhem. It's actually one of the biggest flaws of the album. In your opinion. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
