There's 25k PEOPLE ahead of me in the ticket queue, fuck this.

You might as well see Katy then

 

[GNL]

You might as well see Katy then

She's in the queue.

 

[Pipo]

This is MADNESS.

Standing tickets are $75 but they are forcing you to buy a "fan package with early access to the venu" for an additional $350 bucks with the option to delete It all greyed out omg

 

[Pipo]

OMG GUYS I GOT TICKETS

sorry Katy (not really)

 

[Jark]

don't tell me you paid $425! thrilled for you babes!

 

[Suedehead]

Well I would

 

[Pipo]

don't tell me you paid $425! thrilled for you babes!

$175 bucks, SEATED

oh well, I TRIED!

 

[Pipo]

Well I would

I would have too if the queue wasn't too fucking long and I didn't have two Zoom meetings scheduled back to back, bastards. nosebleeds were around $1,300 bucks and as usual, the bundle of merch looked cheap and shit, and the early access to the venue and the "fan" listening party didn't sound convincing to shell out that much money. The stadium's huge though, it olds a capacity of 150,000 people so it's gonna be a nightmare.
Lana and Taylor played sold-out dates there in ´23 too.

[Loufoque]

On MAYHEM EVE, I'm reminiscing about the era to-date particularly the initial gay gasp and coma induction caused by

Dance in the shadow of the... JSHDDJDdjdjdKKDDKDLLsjsjDDNdHHDHDJDNN

And it's only got better and more hyperbolic since then

 

[Loufoque]

I've decided to allow myself a single 9 in my MAYHEM rate (reserved for the worst track on the album). Everything else starts on a reverse Jarkwhellian scale from a baseline of 14

[GNL]

Put your VPN's up little monsters 'cause it's out in New Zealand.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Preparing for this MOMENTOUS OCCASION by streaming HOLD MY HAND on my New Zealand spotify account

 

[ZenGiraffe]

IT BEGINS

10 Disease
12 Abracadabra

 

[ZenGiraffe]

10 Garden of Eden

Like an album track from The Fame but with much MEATIER production. THE OUTRO IS EVERYTHING

 

[ZenGiraffe]

08 Perfect Celebrity

Not an immediate favourite, but I can see this being a massive grower and it will be a 12 in a week for me. The production is again SUBLIME, and quite rocky! Went to the same school as Perfect Illusion.

for the Princess Die reference though.

And another excellent outro!! Already thinking I should up it to a 09 but let's not be a complete LOON

 

[ZenGiraffe]

07 Vanish Into You

Midtempo. Not very gay drug music but there are still flourishes in the production. Will probably be a skip going forward.

 

[OutSynk]

Well this was a disappointing first listen. If you're expecting more of Abracadabra or ~~dark pop~~ don't.

 

[OutSynk]

Even @ZenGiraffe gave up after the 5th song.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

07 Killah (feat. Gesaffelstein)

I can't decide how much I like this. Will need to give it another listen. Love the production but something isn't clicking yet

09 Zombieboy

Another properly The Fame track. This is fun, and little pepperings of gaga nonsense vocals are really doing it for me. Another excellent outro too, TREND ALERT

08 LoveDrug

First one that I feel is a proper album track. It's good but it's the first one I can't see being anyone's favourite. The production is the simplest so far.

10 How Bad Do U Want Me

This is giving me 1989 Taylor Swift in the best possible way. I can see this becoming a total favourite of mine. Hair's slightly more hinged little sister.

07 Don't Call Tonight

This was plodding along nicely until it went a bit Kraftwerk Putting this in the likely grower category

Even @ZenGiraffe gave up after the 5th song.

 

[Pingu]

Well these RATIONAL reviews from @ZenGiraffe aren't filling me with confidence...

 

[ZenGiraffe]

06 Shadow of a Man

The first proper disappointment for me. The clip and intro made it sound like it would be much more Disease and Abracadabra than it ended up being I need a pots and pans remix of this.

08 The Beast

This is the closest thing to a ballad so far, and is totally getting the piano treatment at her concerts, despite there not being one on the track itself. Weirdly, it is giving me BLEEDING LOVE at points, and PHIL COLLINS at others

04 Blade of Grass

Oh, the ACTUAL ballad has appeared.

01 Die With a Smile



What a lovely 12 track album! On first listen I am putting it between Born This Way and Chromatica.

10 Disease
12 Abracadabra
10 Garden of Eden

[Suedehead]

The Zane Low interview is fantastic

I'm stanning her so hard this era

Don't think I've STANNED Mother this hard since The Fame Monster maybe !?

 

[Suedehead]

Hang on is this out yet?
I thought it's

OH

 

[ZenGiraffe]

THAT GIRL IN YOUR HEAD AIN'T REAL
HOW BAD DO YOU WANT ME FOR REAL

 

[Suedehead]

Is this a safe space? Because if so, I would like to reveal that Die With A Simile has grown on me!!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Is this a safe space?

NO!

I would like to reveal that Die With A Simile has grown on me!!

GET OUT!

 

[Jark]

Vanish Into You and How Bad Do U Want Me are my faves right now.

I haven't actually listened to any of it yet but the vibes are vibing that way. subject to change.

 

[Suedehead]

Is it going to be on Spotify on midnight tonight?
I'll stay up if yes otherwise it will be my dog walk soundtrack tomorrow morning

 

[Jark]

yes out at midnight

 

[Pipo]

I got ahold of How Bad Do U Want Me.

It sounds like a Joanne castoff but with VERY GOOD production, oh my. 10/10.
