Mayhem - For The First Time In 15 Years I Am Satisfied With An Era

[Economy 52,590]

Mayhem seems is officially over, and while its always sad to end an era, I have mixed feelings of joy this time, and thats because for the first time in 15 years (since Born This Way Era), I actually feel satisfied with the era and I am ok with it ending it here as it is

 

We got 4 singles, 4 music videos, Several interviews, Tv Performances, Chart Success, 2 major cameos, a huge tour with minimal cancellations etc plus Gaga seemed genuinely happy

 

Every era has had some of the above, but never all of the above in abundance at once, at least not since like 2011.

 

The era slayed, it did not feel short or rushed like they gave up on it after 2 singles and 3 months with best case scenario a 3rd music video that wasnt even a single. I think thats what really ruined my excitement for past album cycles. Promo and era just died so fast. Its like they released a couple singles, did a couple interviews or tv performances and kinda called it a day. Between ARTPOP and Chromatica I always felt unsatisfied at the end. Like we needed at least 1 more single, or a few more promo slots or events. Anything to have era feel more complete and eventful. Everytime it ended I was like "thats it? Oh man another short era they gave up on right away" This time we experienced a long and exciting era with one event after another which we hadnt had in a decade and a half!

 

I hope we get more of the same in the future. This was great

I think also someone pointed out how ever since The Fame Monster it was only up until MAYHEM where the era officially "closed". Most of the eras after TFM ended abruptly - Born This Way, Joanne, Chromatica.

Yeah, BTW/Joanne/Chromatica all had endings forced on them. 2 tour cancellations and Chromatica ended with the rain storm show causing chaos. 

The Artrave ended without drama but was also the era where she had the abrupt split with Troy, the first decline in her public image/first flops etc so I don't count it as an era that progressed and ended in a way she was likely happy with either. 

Which for me, makes TMB ending in 2011 just before BTW era starts the last time an era happened entirely on Gaga's terms.

Ew

Yeah we were very much spoiled during this era. It's an amazing album and for me the most important thing is for the artist to GIVE LIFE to the music and she did that extremely well with the MAYHEM shows and tour. I'd of course change a few things there and there but overall I'm very satisfied with the era, everything exceeded with expectations: music quality, performances, success and promotion.

+ Coachella and ofc GAGACABANA

Couldn’t agree more! 

Nowadays pop girls barely do promo especially a few weeks after the album is released.

We had 4 singles all including a music video (+ RUNWAY which I know is a side project, but still during the mayhem era) and multiple live performances together with an INCREDIBLE tour

Not to mention that Gaga seems happy and excited in a way that we weren’t witnessing for the past 10 years tbh.
