She has such a weird habit of throwing the ballads at the end of the album like they've just been tacked on. 

Her track list sequences always hold her albums back.

I agree. Like there's no denying Mayhem is still her best album in a decade, but it's missing that big You & I-Edge Of Glory / Gypsy-Applause / Sine From Above-Babylon moment. 

Like maybe have SOAM and The Beast, then the ballad Blade of Grass, then two absolute massive songs - one a big power ballad, the second a total banger... then finish on DWAS? Would help bring the album to an epic conclusion sonically and thematically. Tho Idk if it would all feel too bloated :mark::mark::mark:

OMG yes I listened to the Orange Coloured Sky performance from that and had to turn it down and almost closed it because my ears were hurting:saladga:

Which performance are you on about? This one?

 

Idk what you guys are on about cuz she sounds pretty f*cking flawless here and I don't even like her jazz stuff :sweat:

That's certainly an interesting shuffle :stupidoreo:

I kinda like it. Tho I'm not sure about having Disease and Abracadabra right at the end. If anything I'd probably put Vanish Into You at the end just before Die With a Smile idk :saladga:

Every time you move a song you have to move the songs around it :bradley: 

The only thing I'm sure about is PC would make a killer opener but Mayhem is a lot like ARTPOP where the whole album just flows so well already that it's hard to imagine a different order

Ye honestly first thing I thought was having Perfect Celebrity and Can't Stop The High as openers is kinda sickening I love it.

I think in order to rearrange the album where each of the best songs have real room to shine, she'd need to add one or two new songs to the mix somehow. I mean I wouldn't complain :cheeky:

Apparently, “artistic direction” means every song on the album sounds alike. Huh!

Not my definition of it, but go off. :cheeky:

Time. It will not wait, no matter how hard you hold on...

I mean, that’s more or less the implied critique, but either way :vegas:

The parameters were to keep DWAS at the end but have an explosive song there too :icant: 

You know I'd just remove DWAS entirely :stalkga: 

Maybe Vanish Into You would actually be the better choice there :icant:

It's called fashion, look it up. Gareth Pugh if you want to do a little research. Also, the pointed hat has Spanish origins (capirote). Claiming it looks like the Kx3 is wildly ignorant and narrow-minded. Anyways :)

I literally just meant it looks like what the marshmallow man would look like if he joined the kx3 I wasn't saying i think its a kx3 outfit, it was a mix of sarcasm because i think it looks ridiculous and calling it fashion is a long stretch

sorry :oops:

- The Marina Abramovic collab. The whole spirit cooking debacle set her back quite a bit in the public's good graces and it took a long time until people got over that. I'm not super woo woo or anything but there was genuine darkness going on there that disturbed me and I don't like how Gaga, who was in a very vulnerable state at the time, was around someone who involved themselves in such extreme behaviour (which she thought was amazing).

- Getting back with Luc. One of her worst romantic decisions of all time and it hurt to know she was with a guy who wasn't good for her.

- Working with Terry Richardson. Anyone could see that guy was a creep and I don't even think he's that good a photographer. Person in front of white wall...groundbreaking.

- The R. Kelly collab. I love the song, even his version, but he should never have been a consideration for that verse. I think Gaga in her naive optimism at times, wanted to believe he was wrongfully charged and unfairly vilified but even for 2012/2013, to presume his innocence was a bit of a long shot.

- Getting with Christian. Her most wtf relationship. I still don't know what she saw in him, why they lasted as long as they did and how she ended up engaged to him. A rebound that ended up getting serious when it really shouldn't have.

 

I would say JF2 but I genuinely thought she acted well in that, we got the great Harlequin out of it (plus another Grammy nomination), the public seems to have moved on real fast and it doesn't appear to have caused any lasting damage to her career or public perception...but her future movie role chances? That remains to be seen. But getting a role in TDWP2, the movie being a massive success and the songs she provided getting good reviews is a start.
