LG8 or Total Mayhem?

I know, I know. LG8 is far away. But I still want to see monsters' opinions.

For me, I think LG8 will release in 2030. Total Mayhem is made up by fans and will not come out. But her media team uses the term to create some sensation. 

Mayhem was an ambitious project. I think they wanted her to shine and top everything. It performed well, but I think it did not meet expectations. I think Abracadabra was expected to be a cultural reset and be #1 on charts for months. But sadly it didn't. Don't get me wrong, it's my fave song of all time. But after all the promo and spotlights, this album was sure to be expected to top it all.

Even though it has not achieved what it was supposed to. It did well. Gaga reached out to a newer generation. Not to everyone. but to some, and that's a hard thing to do, as you are considered to be an artist for the old people.

With Mayhem, she showed everyone she can do hits. And perform well. She does not have to prove herself right now. So I think LG8 will be a more experimental album. Not for the charts or the public. More artsy, if you will. Dark, slow industrial pop album. Not meant to trend or be #1. But to show Gaga's legacy. She might even try a new genre...

She did so much fan service with Mayhem. We got everything we ever wished for (for years). After the Mayhem-ball tour, it's her time to take a break. Gaga will continue to perform and deliver great music. That's for sure. But I think she won't create music for the charts for quite some time. (as she just did). I think her next musical album project will take some time. But that does not mean we won't get some TV/cinema thing in between, or even some jazz maybe. But her next ambitious pop album that's meant to be mainstream is far, far, far away for sure...otherwhise people might see her as tryhard or cringe.. that's at least what I think. And I've been a monster since The Fame Monster.

We got so much and should be grateful. Mother Monster is delivering like no one else. Much love. Interested in what you guys think. Maybe some of you expect new music or a continuation of Mayhem.

I don't really expect anything soon, and I feel unsure what to expect for the next years. I love this era so much I don't want it to end soon :fatcat: one thing I'm hoping, and I think it's possible, is we get MAYHEM ball tour film :pray: LG8 probably 5yrs from now or possibly longer 

I wonder if she will continue acting, or she's not getting good offers after Joker?

I know she will always make music but I feel like we're in a big transition. But that's expected anyway, because evolving has always been a big part of her career and also the reason why she stays successful

I’m not expecting anything soon. Mayhem is already a complete album and I don’t think it needs a deluxe version, I listen to it every day and continue enjoying it. 

If I had to choose, I’d pick LG8 coming sooner instead of there being a Total Mayhem with 5 ish new songs. If she keeps getting inspired during tour and records a brand new album then I’m here for it. 

But if she wants to just take a break after tour and not start writing any new music then I’m here for Total Mayhem next spring/summer.

Hopefully TM soonish with more Abra/Disease type of songs, cause if she follows her release trends we ain't getting nothing popish till at least 2030 :cryga:

this was such an iconic era for her, proof that the world views her as a legend, idk if we wanna mess that up with overexposure 

before she takes a hiatus, i do want new music tho just to give us something to enjoy

Im divided

Because i feel that a deluxe after 1 year is very weird

A new era is also too soon, given how much time she took between eras in the past...

LG8 could be MAYHEM 2.0, in the same way LG2 was both a continuation of The Fame and its own thing.

I feel like she’s too inspired by this concept to let it go anytime soon.

There were various different reasons for that, I’m not sure taking that long was calculated. I feel like she’s much more inspired and hungry now, and tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if she released two different projects at the same time.

She visited studios in between tour dates, and The Weeknd duet rumors resurfaced stronger than ever - unsure what it is, but I think it’s fair to assume something is coming sooner than later.

The Fame Monster

I hope we get TOTAL MAYHEM in 2026, because the music style and aesthetics of this era are so good that I’d rather have more of it than something completely new.

I don’t think she was inspired by that concept at all when she made the album, only when she made the tour 

I think she called it MAYHEM cause she thought it made sense with the different sounds/was scared that the media would say it’s not cohesive, even though it’s not THAT full of different sounds

I think about a month ago I read somewhere say that she isn’t slated to release anything else in 2026 except for the one song she worked on for DWP2, this was around the time people stirred the rumor of there being a double album with the new song

If she still feels like expanding on the funk sound like she said, I’d like to see her do so for the next studio release, and maybe put it out around 2028, which is the 20th anniversary of her first mainstream album. I think it’d be full circle

LG8 would be better for me! I feel like Mayhem is ocmplete. the three songs she added were good enough and perfect! I would like another single from the tracks already there but I dont want a re release tbh. I would LOVE LG8 in 2026 instead
