Maybe Perfect Celebrity? They both have related concepts.

Though I feel like Aura is Aura though and hard to replicate. No shade to the song or MAYHEM, but it is so distinct that finding another Lady Gaga song like it is very hard, and I don't think she can come up with other song like it. (Not a bad thing!)

Disease & Aura remind me of each other

I think they both share some type of "middle eastern" (??) sound in different ways- Aura in the production elements, Disease in some of the vocals & instruments.

Right? Or am I an uncultured hick?

Disease feels more sophisticated to me, though

Abracadabra is the only truly epic song on mayhem 

the rest of the tracks are more cute funky groove driven and feel more relaxed and chill and safe 

whereas Abra is truly entrancing and ALIVE

I'd say Disease. It's no coincidence that they're both the first song

Energetically, I’d say can’t stop the high. She also does some funky vocal stretching that is similar to how she plays with her voice in Aura. Both kinda lean into the frenetic sound and are the most ‘extreme’ of the album.

Just because they're "funky" doesn't mean they're less.

Killah, Zombieboy, The Beast all feel very heavy while still being funky and mid tempo

That track is so ridiculously grungy and punk. It's very MJH meets White Lung

I don't think there's any equivalent to Aura, in terms of the song itself or the way it was released

I don’t think there is one. On any of the albums. Aura is too unique.

I never said they’re less.

but they’re not epic.  They’re not big anthem like tracks.

doesn’t mean they’re not good.

but to OPs point- compared to Aura- they’re very very tame and safe.

Abracadabra and Shadow of a Man are highlights of the album in terms of their epicness I felt when I first heard them

The closest song to Aura (imo) is Perfect Celebrity. Both of them have industrial influences. Vocally, I see Perfect Celebrity being closer to Aura than Disease as an example. I just see Perfect Celebrity as Aura more mature cousin. 

Love the conversation

God, I sometimes forget how great a song Aura is. 

Lemme go stream it.

Disease is the correct answer but Killah could also be a contender in terms of experimentation.
