Smother Em Eh 7,278 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) It is her best album since BTW! She served diversity, creativity and ambition! It has her HIGHEST metacritic ranking EVER. It is like a better produced and polished version of BTW with elements of TF. An album that will truly be considered a classic in not only her discography but of pop albums in general. She really improved on her craft with this record and for that I am really grateful for. How will she top it? What sound will she go for next? And what would you like to see from her next? I’d love a pop rock album for and I think that is long over due. Edited May 31 by Smother Em Eh Get Applause & G.U.Y to 1B views! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUTELLA 24,567 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 She shouldn't concern herself with topping it, imo. Nor should she make a conscious effort to "subvert expectations" & go in a wildly different direction now. I think she would be wise to stick with her pop DNA (even if she moves more toward pop rock like you say). Personally, I hope she prioritizes MELODY over everything else on LG8, even over lyricism. If she needs to try topping anything, it's this melody: 2 1 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she needs to try topping anything, it's this melody: This - every artist releases pop albums again and again. Why can't she? She doesn't need to reinvent the wheel with every record and pander to a specific style. Her GREATEST strength as a songwriter is melody/hooks. There's a reason people adore her acoustic and piano performances-- they show off how strong the song itself and melody are. I've always felt that the production elements need work (ARTPOP would be great if edited, Chromatica wasn't great on all fronts, Joanne needs more production heft, BTW production could be edited lightly too), but she struck gold with Watt/Cirkut/herself. The best production & engineering for her songs so far! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheARTPOPball 1,466 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 While I love mayhem, it is not without its flaws, so I don’t think necessarily creating a superior record is impossible or a difficult feat for her. the real challenge is the era itself. Music videos. Promo, performances. These are the things that I look back on fondly when I think of mayhem, and the very things I think we’re missing from the chromatica era. 5 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this but Chromatica was released in the MIDDLE of the pandemic and that says it all right there. Get Applause & G.U.Y to 1B views!

MountainMonster 2,479 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Dark synthy pop, à la DWAS (Requiem Version) and Killah (Requiem Version). We’re not doing the rock nonsense. Y’all can’t handle when she dapples in other genres - even disco, which has been a part of her musical DNA since The Fame. Would love to see what she can do working with Moroder, Guy-Manuel and more Gassafelstein. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes it’s justified, but i think it would have been a much more successful era if it were allowed to have a proper rollout. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars 2,604 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I think Mayhem was a full circle moment in her discography and a kind of creative epiphany for her so Id like her to keep on reheating her nachos, blending genres and expanding her signature sound as a producer. Theres so many layers to her music already that she could delve into. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
princedeeblebleble 3,311 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Hopefully by not finishing off the record with 3 ballads and throwing in a Swift sounding song but replacing them with Disease, Abra (Requiem/Grammy) and Vanish into you style bangers! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
