L∀DY GAGA - MAYHEM (LG7)

[wildchild]

OMG just clocked that Don't Call The Night samples A-Ha - The Sun Always Shines On TV

I thought that synth sounds familiar. Beautiful use of the sample!

 

[Jark]

LoveDrug is SCREAMING OUT for one more chorus!

 

[K.C.]

LoveDrug is SCREAMING OUT for one more chorus!

YES! That song is WAY too short.

 

[Jark]

speaking of screaming Vanish is such a classic STEFANI SHOUT FEST! empty those lungs sis!

 

[Suedehead]

Such a great album

She did it gays

 

[K.C.]

Ok but what about the sharts??

 

[Jark]

Ok but what about the sharts??

it hasn't sharted yet but experts expect it to make a total mess in the rim. it will be mayhem!

 

[Jark]

what's blowing my mind is how well this sparkly 80s sound suits her. even though she's not really done it much before, it sounds like her signature sound.

 

[K.C.]

Somehow this DID turn out to be popular with the artsy gays.

 

[funky]

I really wanna know what Suedey thinks though

I just wish he’d come out and tell us

 

[supermassive]

This is a bit more fun for Europe than I had expected with Disease being so good. But Perfect Celebrity is a banger

 

[Suedehead]

Eden garnishes pn

I really wanna know what Suedey thinks though

put your paws all over me
You Funkyboy

[Joseph]

Twitter gays seem to love it

Instagram gays seem to hate it

Make of that what you will

 

[Pipo]

Don't Call Tonight really is Do What U Want part 2 and I LOVE IT.

I love her voice in this album, giving The Fame energy and not a sign of slowing down, consistent queen.

What do TOPLESS FAGGOTS know about music anyway?

A lot actually

Solo sync listen.

07 Disease

I was never bothered either way but I think like EVERYONE SAID, the video elevates it.

Classic Gaga. No notes.

08 Garden of Eden

A little Riot Grrrl to start although it's actually more Bis. I don't like shouting in music much (I quite like shouting IRL), but the chorus is pleasantly melodic. I'm into it.

Oh I see it's her Beautiful Garbage. Crunchy.

 

[POP!]

How Bad Do U Want Me is by far my favorite after the first listen.

10 Vanish Into You

Oh hello 80s Gaga. She's really jumping around, genre wise, yet still absolutely cohesive. This slaps, twists and tickles in exactly the right way. Best new track so far.

Funky fresh! Very Sheena Easton. It's an A.I. Prince track. The bridge is quite cool.

Oh not Gwen Stefani. But hello 80s synth riffs.

These Spotify film clips, make me will for the time she used Farmville for promo.

She really kills on the bridges.

The whole package is really 80s. I'm not complaining.

I lost interest half way through this, I ended up doing Kier Starmer impressions (it's really quite good). This is proper mid album fodder.

Is there a Yazoo sample here? Oh yes. This is really good. Very CRJ and all the better for it. Total standout.

 

[K.C.]

These hyperbole rates are gonna need an EQUATION to bring them back to our solar system.

Holy shit at the Italopop opening. Weak verses but yaasss our Italian Queen leaning into 1985 gay clubs on the choruses.

More 80s and honestly, I'm in sexy speedos thipping a cocktail by the pool. Absolute tits out unapologetic fun.

A change of pace. Shut up. Pat Benatar meets The Gossip (slowed down version).

Pretty decent, already gasping for a revolting remix though.

OK a wind down section at the end. I'm missing the donks, but true 80s disco style were finishing on a cool down. It's fine, but it's more Joanne and that's a BAD THING.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Overall 7.76, which is high praise indeed. More accomplished than Chromatica.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

And that concludes my first listen, goodbye

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I think I'm broadly on track with Moopy, although the middle three weren't quite the pill songs for me that Moopy thought they were.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Immediately upgrading Perfect Celebrity on second listen.

 

[Suedehead]

And that concludes my first listen, goodbye

Love you babes
