Reject False Icons

There are many albums in pop that were promoted to be one thing and ended up being another completely different

Which ones you remember?

RED- Taylor Swift very pop singles hipster aesthetic but the album ended up being very country

The Life of a Showgirl - We thought she would spice up her music but ended up more of the same

Britney Jean- Britney said it was her most personal album, ended up being very electronic with the least input from her

Mayhem

the songs themselves are not that chaotic..most are very normal and tame bops.  Killah maybe is the standout in that regard? But then we got how bad, don’t call, lovedrug, garden of Eden, zombie boy, shadow, etc all very very not “maaayhem!!!!!!!$/8/);&(9(((&:$/&:;($ahshdifjd” you know what I mean? Like doesn’t mayhem mean chaos madness crazy wild? None of those songs are crazy or wild  (oh also I’m disregarding the deluxe tracks cause they did not make it onto the official tracklist)

also the first visuals for mayhem, the disgusting makeup n everything for the deluxe album cover photo shoot and disease MV..but then the majority of the songs are cute and pretty 

and then abracadabra was an amazing second single but nothing else on the album sounded like it and she never gave another MV even close to as good as it..

Pronounced like “Balenciaga” . Emphasis on the “Ga”

The Disease visuals fit the song perfectly, tho. The whole point of the album and era being called MAYHEM is about her persona containing multitudes, so imo, the juxtaposition of heavier/grittier cuts on the album and lighter/groovier/poppier cuts, as well as darker visuals and campier visuals etc. is kind of the point lol

The thing is there’s hardly a juxtaposition 

There’s the chaotic part and then there’s the little angel, but it really is one part after the other, there’s no mix

Not to be pedantic, but juxtaposition means contrast, not mix lol. So there is a juxtaposition on the album on the whole, but I see what you mean.

Well yeah, but you know what I mean, give us

1- Disease

2- How Bad Do U Want Me

3- Killah

4- Blade Of Grass

5- Abracadabra

and now that’s chaos :ladyhaha: an abomination of a tracklist, but chaos

I do love MAYHEM, but I find half of her other albums more chaotic tbh

i disagree. it sounds exactly the way the cover looks. not country at all, slightly futuristic, with some country ideas thrown in.

Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814, a little. Yes the album did have a few tracks about social issues. 
 

But 2/3 of the album is still love songs, even if they’re good. The album was heavily marketed to reflect the message in a few songs.

Joanne was like that too, with only one song being about someone in Gaga’s family, another about a dear friend.
