Disease visuals fits disease. But does disease fit the rest of the album it’s on?

the album is only mayhem in the sense that it’s a compilation of random songs she made over the last 6 years or so and no cohesion or reoccurring theme. 

I mean, there's absolutely lyrical cohesion and a reoccuring theme. 

The only clashes are the musical influences (which is intended). 

And saying the only mayhem in the album is just choosing to ignore the lyrical and thematic content of the album even after 2 music videos, multiple interviews and entire 2 hour concert ramming that lyrical and thematic content home.

How are you gonna say the album doesn’t live up to the title and then prove why the title is valid in the same comment? :icant:

Almost as if, and hear me out, it’s mayhem!

Gurl 

BTW and ARTPOP have more wild crazy mayhem chaotic songs than mayhem does.  
what I’m saying, is the word mayhem does not live up to the sound/genre of the overall album. 

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

Gaga has explicitly stated that Mayhem represented the blending of her influences across all the songs and the chaos of learning to love her demons. 

Think y'all just have poor media literacy.

The pretty reckless with Who you selling for also doesn't match the emotional complexity of the record.

I disagree, I think it really fits the sound actually! But also, I have synesthesia and blues/southern rock looks very ochre to me, so I'm biased :ladyhaha:

ARTPOP

Agreed, but what do we expect "ARTPOP" to sound like tbh :sweat:

I think Gaga herself had no clue what musical direction she wanted for this album as the title and concept is so vague and hard to express in sounds, which is why the album is so uncohesive.

I'm not a fan and even I can get that that is not misleading. Lol.

Nah based on the cover, you expect something grandiose and sexy with some jazzy and theatrical vibes. Instead you get something extremely bland and generic, this album is unseasoned water soup

diva, the album isn't about chaotic high energy songs, it's a mish mash of her influences and styles crammed into one chaotic tracklist

Ngl I think it’s totally misleading. The visuals suggest something brassy/cabaret or something sultry/sexy and what we got was a bunch of assorted flaccid synthpop tracks lol

And honestly She could pull songs like candyman and a whole retro 50s modern sound. Not something new but in her veins i think

Well yeah but I always thought from the very beginning she was gonna talk about how a popstar's life looks like before getting on the stage or smth like that. "Life of a showgirl" feels like an extreme comment on how her life ended up being during the Eras tour - pretty normal, if you ask me -. That's the point, I guess?

Although I agree it would've been a gag if the proper music style was cabaret

Agreed on the description but I personally never thought she would deliver such a thing musically

I expected the same as you

And instead all we got was crap songs about heterosexual missionary sex
