I’ll never forget when this user was browbeating people for saying they liked Harlequin because “no one liked it and it was bad” and then when I challenged them on it, they said they were gonna tag me in posts showing drop in numbers on the album’s streams every day lmao. I wish them well. 

The Harlequin release week was wild

it was a mistake to not make the chorus and bridge match the energy of the verses, it just falls flat for me

Well, considering the timing and many music video worthy songs, yes.
If it wasn't the case I wouldnt say its a mistake. Its an ok song. better than a lot of songs in the second half of the album so having it in the tracklist helps.

The video was 100% a mistake though. Having TIM BURTON for this. Going to a random Island in Mexico to record what could be easily replicated in a studio.

Lowkey, Gaga would feel hurt if she saw threads about how her fans think her music was/is a mistake. :koons:

I don't really enjoy the song that much, but I suppose it's good for the people that like it!

YES IT WAS

stop the mental gymnastics

Mayhem had other tracks that had potential to be CLASSICS like Garden of Eden, HBDUWM or Vanish into you

dead dance was an obvious attempt to have a halloween classic  but it didnt work sadly and I mean she already has one with bloody mary lol

after Abra something like HBDUWM would have been so fresh

You think? I actually like that they filmed on location. It makes it more special.

You're stinky

The Dead Dance is the superior and BETTER version of "Heads will roll" by the yeah yeah yeahs

So no, it was not a mistake. The GP is just tasteless 

this is a bold statement. As someone who adores both, I disagree.

To me, it felt like more of a commercial grab / attempt at replicating Bloody Mary’s sudden success last year.

More so than a real artistic effort / statement from Gaga.

And therefore, to me, it fell flat.

I don’t think it was a mistake. I do wish that she had more singles in between Abracadabra and The Dead Dance. There’s so many obvious choices, Garden of Eden, Vanish into You, How Bad Do You Want Me, etc;

Yes, it's one of her worst singles - up there with Stupid Love and The Cure.

The funky cheesy chorus ruins the rest of the dark electronic trance vibes...if only she had stuck with it instead of that abrasive...shift :icant:

NO. Abra and Dead Dance went so hard during the Halloween club parties
