Lady Gaga - Mayhem

[reputation.]

I'd easily put it at #2 in her discography now that I've played it nonstop for an entire week. This is the first time she has gotten this close to Born This Way for me, but the nostalgia and memories I have for that era are too strong to be dethroned this quickly. It has basically soundtracked my teenage years and will forever be (one of) my favorite record of all time. However, I can see Mayhem climbing to the top once the dust settles.

I'm just so glad that she delivered another magnum opus. I love all of the tracks and I'm still waking up with a new melody stuck in my head every day.

Its nice that it feels like her adult Born This Way in that it encapsulates everything that makes her great. It has a maturity, that inherently comes with a little less excitement than it's earlier sister project, but they feel cut from the same cloth.

Abracadabra moved to #1 on Today's Top Hits + Gaga has the cover.

Of course Mayhem is in another league, but I still do have some use for Chromatica. It's not a bad album, it's just not a very good Lady Gaga one dd

For me these are her ultimate top 3: Mayhem, Artpop and Born This Way. All so quintessentially her and brilliant albums.

 

[Vanish Into You]

Mayhem, The Fame Monster and Born This Way are on heavy rotations in this house.

Oh wow they both look phenomenal

Is this not the second time this has happened? Didn't it also go to #1 before it peaked on Spotify and then get moved down? Has another cheque cleared? ddd

Well, I'm afraid to say 'How Bad Do U Want Me' is the song most people I have played the album for, liked through and through. Out of 8, 7 mentioned it was the most memorable. Perhaps it is the pseudo-Only You sample that is memorable enough?

Apologies in advance to all those Chromatica truthers out there, I know and understand your stance on it but one listen of Mayhem and I’ve decided to not bother with Chromatica ever again.

I loved Chromatica and I still “use” it pretty regularly, but Mayhem blows it out of the water.

 

[SlowBurn]

For me, she's never released an album that's anything even remotely close to being bad. I'm always mystified when people slate Chromatica, Joanne etc. They may not be her very best overall, but they're still mostly excellent.

I've also found that more casual fans are calling out How Bad as their fave. It's not about the "sample" though, it's just big, explosive pop and people love that.

Gonna need Miss Gaga to organise a budget meeting with Mastercard and get them to agree to fund videos for the following:

- Garden Of Eden
- Zombieboy
- LoveDrug
- How Bad Do U Want Me

Chromatica is a good album but a very mediocre Gaga album.

Kill For Love deserved HBDUWM’s spot on the album.

Kill For Love deserved HBDUWM’s spot on the album.

One day - 50 years from now- a terminator will trek across a mad max wasteland and find a vinyl of Mayhem - wonder why the cover doesn’t match the sound of the record but then get his cyborg life to the Gaga meets Taylor crush rush.

My dorky mom.

'How Bad Do U Want Me' is a 10/10

Nn the fans screaming at her

It's clear how badly she's needed the connection back with the fans. I'm so happy for her that everything is in a good place.

Yesterday I complained that the bonus tracks deserved to be on the actual album but I think that only applies to Can't Stop the High. I mean, Kill for Love is great, probably her best vocals ever. But two Michael Jackson songs would be too much IMO.
