https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20250911-the-best-albums-of-2025 Lady Gaga – Mayhem Gaga's first proper pop album in five years is a return to the devil-may-care maximalism that made her a star. Second single Abracadabra, a bombastic synth-pop stomper that borrows melodically from Siouxsie and the Banshees, climaxes with a ludicrous hook that only she could pull off: "Abracadabra, amor-oo-na-na!" But even when she's being silly – knowingly so – the singer is deadly serious in her pursuit of pop nirvana. Other highlights include the postmodern headbanger Perfect Celebrity, Prince-gone-punk theatrics of Killah and campy disco bop Zombieboy, which sounds a bit like Blondie soundtracking a horror film. This endlessly entertaining LP is also sprinkled with Gaga's own sonic signatures – see Garden of Eden's Poker Face-style stuttering vocal hook "I'll t-t-take you to the Garden of Eden". Mayhem isn't a misleading title, but "controlled chaos" sums up the whole endeavour more accurately. (Nick Levine)

Not me listening to MAYHEM again and crying through the entire album because it’s just THAT good. (except for Blade Of Grass, it really is a dark stain on that album, sorry I replaced it with Folie À Deux lmao) And yet I was soooooo disappointed when the album came out, but now… I know the music world works differently today than it did 15 years ago and the album is already 7 months old, but I truly feel like with the right strategy, there’s a couple more songs that have potential to (at least) become moderate hits. I’m obviously thinking of Vanish Into You as well as Garden Of Eden, Zombieboy and I know y’all hate Don’t Call Tonight but I see it working too, it’s catchy, very well produced and it’s easy to digest and relate to it. MAYHEM for life. 🖤

We should have gotten a single in June for the summer. But TDD is single worthy and the numbers don't lie, it's a smash hit in the making and the fanbase being disappointed was a great signal,, the same happened with DWAS and it started smashing, then many people switched up, just like they will switch up on TDD.

The Dead Dance debuts at #35 on the official Dutch top 40

Still amazed by how massive Abracadabra is... Still pushing +1.2M daily and charting Global Spotify after 7 months while being hard EDM Gagaesque music in 2025

OMG I don't even know where to begin So, first of all, DISCLAIMER - This thread may come across as NO surprise at all for some people, but I bet some of you had not thought about this either, so I'm going to elaborate my theory I was just casually jogging around this afternoon, listening to my suggested Daily Mix, when (Sabrina Carpenter came in, so I skipped it and) 'HOW BAD DO U WANT ME' started playing While I (was making up my own world-tour-performance in my mind, I needed to contrast with the actual one, so) I recreated the true MAYHEM ball performance in my mind, listening to the lyrics, it all CAME TOGETHER. I have spent half a year thinking this was the average meaning pop song about two girls and one man, but NO! (If you have too, you are WRONG! ) What if I told you... 'How Bad Do U Want Me' comes together with other songs in Gag's discography where she just seems to hate (or at least, be unsure) of being... exactly, Lady Gaga. It could be the continuation to 'Perfect Celebrity' or 'Fun Tonight' (undeservably hated by this fanbase, by the way ). So let's analyze the lyrics, it won't be long from now, but it is a constant dual-dialogue where she intertwines her speech as both Gaga, the persona, and her true self, Stefani. "The good girl in your dreams / Is mad you're lovin' me / I know you wish that she was me / How bad, bad do you want me?" Stefani is mad you are loving Lady Gaga, but in reality, she speaks to this person, "I know you wish I was Lady Gaga, but I am not! I am Stefani, so, HBDUWM? "You're not the guy that cheats / And you're afraid that she might leave / 'Cause if I get too close, she might scream / "How bad, bad do you want me?" Her lover is not the kind that cheats, but, he seems to be in love with Gaga. Stefani is mad, and accuses them and they are afraid her persona might leave, and if they get real close to her, her true self, Stef, will desperately ask again, HBDWUM!? "Cause you like my hair, my ripped-up jeans / You like the bad girl I got in me / She's on your mind, like all the time / But I got a tattoo for us last week / Even good boys bleed / How bad, bad do you want me?" There was a time where we were accostumed to seeing Gaga in more casual attires, usually related to eras where she was more connected to herself and her roots than her character, like the Joanne era, and she has found this lover that seems to be in love for once with that. But she is afraid, once again, that they might be in love that Lady Gaga, the character, which is on their mind all the time, even though she is rooting for their real, human relationship and connection! And I could go on forever (well, not actually, just as far as the song goes ) explaining the meaning of each of the words, and why I finally understood what this song is about, the fear of Stefani of not being able to connect through her real self, the fear of people being in love with Lady Gaga, the character, and not the inside. And that's why the MAYHEM ball performance is, JUST. LIKE. THAT. To conclude, think twice about this: "That girl in your head ain't real / How bad do you want me for real?" She is tired, and needs to feel a true, real and honest connection. Lady Gaga might or not be real, but Stefani, for sure is. How bad do you want ha for real? Had you thought about this before? Have I just discovered a whole new perspective to you and you are never going to be able to experience HBDUWM as before? Will Boris comment on this thread confirming my theory and take me backstage at my date for cracking the code? Will you finally understand that this is one of the best songs she's ever made?

MAYHEM” is predicted to chart at #13 on Billboard 200 this week, following the release of “The Dead Dance”, moving 24,784 units. (via @HITSDD) https://x.com/chartgaga/status/1966623082010816746?s=46

3 new tracks VS 23 new tracks

In the last year, Gaga gave us her best Jazz release and her best Pop album. Mayhem gets all the flowers (and it deserves them), but Harlequin is a sonically gorgeous side project and further proof that she’s at the top of her artistic game. God I love this record!

Speak for yourself, sister.

I love the song except for the "wrap that blade of grass around my finger" I grew up with grass. That **** scratches. That **** cuts. Like do not wrap a blade of grass around my finger it's called a Blade for a reason!

Honestly, if they film the tour and do a grammy performance of VIY while being pushed as the final single, this era would be near perfect.
