L∀DY GAGA - MAYHEM (LG7)

[Suedehead]

She gave us exactly what we needed in this era of fucking darkness in the world

We needed to be uplifted

 

[Jark]

just played Killah at my friend's birthday drinks and she made me turn it off. and said "this is Gaga? what's happened to her?"

 

[Suedehead]

I would have gone with Vanish into you to be fair I mean it is a basics birthday drink

[Suedehead]

Sorry didn’t mean to call your friend basic but we’re on the Negronis and yeah we don’t do basic

Fuck me Shadow Of A Man is doing things to me!

 

[Suedehead]

@ZenGiraffe @Administrator @Moderator can we please have a commemorative MAYHEM MOOPY banner just for this week?

Maybe MAYHEM in the (now) iconic font and a few of the album covers? OK THANKS

 

[Suedehead]

She's awesome

 

[ILL ADVISED]

It’s like she spewed all her albums into a blender and then regurgitated Mayhem

 

[Jark]

Fuck me Shadow Of A Man is doing things to me!

I think this and Don't Call Tonight are my least faves SO FAR. excluding BOG of course

 

[Jark]

She's awesome

compared to Chromatica where she seemed literally traumatised and comatose she seems in a really great place. I'm so excited to wake up to her SNL ep tomorrow

 

[Pipo]

I've read it's just promo, but choosing Brazil and Mexico out of nowhere seems so random.

I don't think it's random at all. With all the political mayhem in the USA I think she's making a point.

 

[Pipo]

I never thought of it like that! China and Canada next then.

...I'm sorry, you awarded a single 10 across the whole album...to THAT!?

I DESPAIR

06 Vanish Into You
06 Shadow Of A Man
10 Die With A Smile

ILL advised indeed.

 

[passthatdutch]

I have Shadow Of A Man on repeat; I dare to say it would make a great single but, why am I getting the feeling that they're in chronological order and they'll go for Garden Of Eden since it sounds safer but it could be a cute depending on the video.

I doubt we are getting any more singals tbh... but can live in hope.

Gutted I've only listened to this album once so far, need to rectify that tomorrow.

I DESPAIR

I thought I was quite generous

 

[Mugatu]

I actually love Die with a Smile too, but I'm really glad she went down the industrial-dance-rock route for a good part of the album. Perfect Celebrity sounds just like something from Trent Reznor's (amazing) Challengers score.

Need to go through the whole thing again before I do a proper rate, but Killah is fabulous and I can't stop listening to it

 

[Halli]

Had a quick whizz through in the gymnasium earlier; Zombieboy i'm loving

 

[K.C.]

Interesting there were zero features. Were we expecting or hoping for any?

 

[Halli]

Was hoping she'd persuade Geru for Telephone part deux tbh

The Bruno Mars and Gesaffelstein erasure!

 

[FetchFugly]

Loving this. It does have that artist with a back catalogue releases new album harking back to the greatest hits feel and I am very pleased with that. Easily her most satisfying and immediately accessible album in a long time.

Loving her snatching up all those eighties sounds and those little pure pop thrill moments sprinkled throughout

I CAN HEAR EVERYTHING you're saying FROM HERE

Absolutely.

This is what she was saying in the press Junket (I saw the one on BBC - Not the One Show - News at ten !) - she said this is an album that goes back to her earlier albums so she can reclaim them and that it was her sound

 

[Shoat]

In 2028, we'll all be declaring that Blade Of Grass was the only keeper

 

[K.C.]

The MOAN at the beginning of Perfect Celebrity isn't getting enough attention.

[dixielandings]

Superb! Well done gaga. This is close to born this way for me… , lovedrug, don’t call tonight and shadow of a man are all 10/10

 

[Loufoque]

10 Disease - the soundtrack to my nervous breakdown that's been underway since October. The final minute is utter hysterical catharsis. Run me over Mom.
11 Abracadabra - motherquake Gaga filtered through the gay crack algorithm
09 Garden Of Eden - to my Millennial ears, I was like what in the Pussycat Dolls dated hell is this at first and then I realised I'm old and that this is retro perfection. Hot as ice.
13 Perfect Celebrity - this will become a notorious being in her catalogue, an immediate career high, the industrial rock banger she's always had in her. This is her exorcising those ARTPOP demons. I'm so happy she made this. Shaking and crying. I can't stop listening.
07 Vanish Into You - it's giving Gwen Stefani some time in the mid-00s, in her mid-80s bag.
09 Killah
10 Zombieboy - I don't know what to say other than this song makes me feel like a colourful handbag from the 80s
10 LoveDrug - something tells me this will be the Heavy Metal Lover / So Happy I Could Die of this album. Slightly lost in the initial bussyquake, but the one that will stand the test of time.
10 How Bad Do U Want Me - Mother said: I'mma show Taylor how to do an actual Taylor song without being so annoying
09 Don't Call Tonight - c'mon Ace of Base! This is the fourth time she's dipped her nachos into their sonic palette and every time it's so delicuous
13 Shadow Of A Man - the brief was: "make it MJ but more femme and sparkly, but, like, no one can do that", so Mother took all her Aries energy and said "watch me" HEE-HEE
08 The Beast - like Disease, this gets elevated in the last minute. I think it will grow.
07 Blade Of Grass
08 Die With A Smile - cute for the streams

 

[Sheena]

Just popping in to say the first half of this at the very least is FUCKING INCREDIBLE.


I’ll get back to you about the rest

 

[VV]

I still can't get into Abracadabra, but I need to at least give the album a go.
