MAYHEM would have been a perfect era if...

[TheARTPOPball 1,455]

Zombie boy would have gotten the video by Burton with a better narrative and it also would have been the song used for Wednesday 

the Grammys performance with better staging and dancing 

more televised performances. 

a proper deluxe version would have been released

 

[Celloo Deng 56,211]

One or two more MVs would have been perfect 

[OMF 3,612]

For me it would have been a studio recording of the Requiem reworks.

[DrKindnessKunt2005 6,406]

I would include a Lady in Red cameo in the Die with a Smile video for a microsecond. 
 

Besides that, a mini film featuring a lot of the Mayhem songs. Garden of Eden, Vanish into You, Zomieboy, How Bad Do You Want Me, and Shadow of a Man deserved to be singles.

This!!!!!! 100% it would have been probably been a bigger hit too

 

I would love for her to do a short film with two/three songs from the album to end the era, a video for a song not necessarily for it to become a single like with what she did with John Wayne and 911.

- Make the album more cohesive sound wise (change the instrumentals of LD, DCT and HBDYWM or replace them with songs as good as the first half of the album)

- Release Vanish Into You as 3rd single

- Scrap TDD, minus the first verse this song is so bad

[Sneaky Oliver 22,915]

I think a MV for GOE instead of TDD and I’d call it perfect tbh, I needed a club/dance floor video to go along with the concept of party of the record 

Remember when there was a rumor of a GOE+Zombieboy double MV?! That was what I wanted the most

-There should have been only two singles: Abracadabra & Vanish Into You
(released winter/spring 2025 & then summer 2025, respectively)

-There should have been no variants/deluxe editions. I know she has to "play the game," but still... ICK.
ALL the tracks (including CSTH, KFL & TDD) should have been included on one initial release... with the black & white cover as the sole artwork (OG cover haters, deal with it)

-Almost all her wigs looked great... but if I was going to split hairs (pun intended), I wish she would have stuck with ONLY black hair for this era. I prefer her with blonde hair, but this way we could say "oh yeah, MAYHEM was the definitive 'black hair era'"  (with bleached brows, of course)

-Remove the bridge on Killah

-She should have worn/used/featured these prosthetic fingers in more than one photoshoot/visual opportunity. A street look, a performance, an interview, something.... they're just too good......

Remove the Bridge on Killah. Are you insane?!??

On topic:

Whilst I think TDD gets too much flack from folk, the video does miss the mark given it's potential. Unsure if it was the right song for it but maybe a third video that rounded the arc of Mayhem better (as this one was basically unrelated).

Kill For Love and Can't Stop The High are probably the strongest "bonus" tracks of her career and should really have had main track status.

Don't Call Tonight would probably have been a bonus track, or just not released ...

More singles. VIY should have been a single after Abra, and HBDYWM should have been a summer single, and videos for both.

Basically agree with all of this, tbh. Taste!!

I am, but that is beside the point.

The Killah bridge is a noxious joke

It is a blemish on the album

Don't Call Me Insane Tonight, Omegahedron!!!

DCT is the most vulnerable song on MAYHEM

[Lextyr97 20,742]

GOE, VIY, and HBDUWM should have all been singles with sickening music videos. 
VIY should’ve had a longer live mix to have some spectacle on stage that precedes or proceeds the barricade walk. 
Honestly Mayhem should’ve just been a visual ****ing album. The era was really great as is though. I don’t have many complaints

[Omegahedron 313]

The bridge beat is honestly a highlight of the album for me. I am flummoxed.

DCT ... I stand by what I said. Vulnerable or no, it's one of the blandest offerings on the album, nay generally for a few years.

[AndiGaga 7,213]

- Start the era with Abracadabra in January 2025 and dont make Disease a single (i dont see DWAS as the first single, I would call it a promo single lol)

- Release physical copies and go all in first full tracking week. It had #1 potential in the US based on the first full week streams

- release Garden of Eden as the second single & Vanish into you as the last one

I feel ungrateful, but I kinda wish there were more visuals - music videos and performances. Like in TFM and BTW eras where there were tons of TV performances and every single one had its own theme and aesthetic. 

In Mayhem era everything was kinda centered around The Art Of Personal Chaos and The Dress
