Imagine thinking one of the most dynamic musical choices that Gaga has ever made doesn’t add anything to the song. On a story level, the whole thematic conceit of the bridge is unmasking the serial killer/murderer behind the sexy facade, so the idea that it doesn’t add anything to the song when it’s the moment in the song when the tension between sex and violence explodes into a primal scream. Not to mention that, even without any subtext or narrative read into it, the eruption of an electropunk bridge into the middle of an industrial funk pop track that builds in tension like riding a roller coaster to the top then crashing down, only to circle back to the tension of the groove from the beginning is incredibly satisfying. Huh. Maybe you should’ve listened to it more than twice before weighing in Edited April 28 by Ladle Ghoulash We have forgotten our public MANNERS Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh. Maybe you should’ve listened to it more than twice before weighing in I respect it in theory, on paper it's the most interesting musical choice to be found on MAYHEM, no need for sass. But why is this "violent explosion" the quietest, least busy part of the song? Why is this "primal scream" mixed so quiet? Almost fading in the background. That's what I mean by underwhelming. Time.

Tbf, the original comment was pretty absolute + dismissive, so that’s probably where the sass came from lol. But, I agree that it could be bigger to an extent, but the production on the record is purposefully more insular and digital, so I don’t necessarily fault that (though I do think that moment is more effective in live versions with a full band).
