She will tease the announcement along with the countdown. I am expecting something like the Harlequin teasers.

the Harlequin teasers were such a gag and then the album....

 

well we kept the final 3 songs let's just say that 

[paperfectdelusion]

I have a feeling it won't be cohesive which critics are mad on and she's not following ASIB era in terms of 'good-will', I reckon a 73-75 MC score

I'm afraid it won't touch the 70s for this very reason

 

so I'm going with 68

 

yup the moment she added DWAS to the album any hope of critical acclaim died with a smile

 

 

I doubt it goes into the 60s though even Radical Optimism and TTPD stayed over 70

 

[Bimbo]

That's obviously not the cover right? 
 

 

She's never had an album cover be that uninspired and cheap except for Joanne after getting her mental health ****** over…

I refuse to believe that MAYHEM could be rated worse than Joanne. 

 

Joanne is at 67.

 

Disease alone should push MAYHEM above 70 

[Jack!]

Curious if the site will change in 45 mins.  It would be cute if she was active on her insta during the countdown too, but I know with GÁR beggars can't be choosers.

That pic did give us confirmation that black hair will be a continued theme for the album visual, it's not only for Disease at least. Personally I would like to see her change for different singles but it would be interesting to see.

We desperately need a break from BlondeGa. She's been Blonde since Just Dance. With artpop and C2C, her brunette looks were overshadowed by the blonde looks. This will be the first era where she has a consistent hair color that isn't overshadowed by blonde wigs. Also, I think she will try different variations of the black hair. In The Disease music video we see her with black and teal hair, black with blonde roots and the final scene where she has grayish black hair. 

[Almodusa]

She might start posting at 11am instead of noon since that's also when the countdown ends for Monday yeah

edit: related to The Fame today. If she doesn't at all then possibly silence till Monday

 MAYHEM cover rankings 

 

1. 

2. 

3. 

4. 

#2 may become the best cover, but #1 will forever be the most iconic one for the fanbase, just like Ma Ma Ma Pa Pa Perfect Illusion was compared to the original

2 weeks of preorders?  why not just put it up for preorders now and then repurpose the countdown for the next single announcement or something 

[Denim]

My biggest specific critique is i think the blurred shattered glass aspect takes too much of the frame 

[Bad News]

1 hour and 40 minutes until she starts teasing Mayhem on Instagram and shares the Notorious Being snippet in HQ

They probably thought it would take us days to figure everything out or something. 

 

 

The same thing happened with Disease, though, so I have no idea why they keep doing this, lol.

[Pop Art]

I will happily eat my words if wrong, but I fear we are about to see Gaga's lowest studio album debut (besides The Fame) on the Billboard 200 with this nonsensical 2.5 weeks of preorders.

 

At least we finally know something is coming.

2 weeks are enough for our buying powers, plus it is closer to Grammy.

[HeavyMetalAura]

guys I actually.... LOVE the cover  everyone is entitled to their own opinions but IMO the image is striking and focused. I love the expression she's thinking and it makes me SO curious to hear what this music that "switches genres in a way that's almost corrupt" sounds like... the cover is giving evolution and I hope the music matches it

Rank album covers and titles, predict album length and Metacritic score... ah, the endless possibilities.

 

If Mayhem is a 60+ mins album, liddos will be so happy that they'll fight for it by sucking some critics' d!ck to convince them to give it an 80+ score

 

 

If it's shorter than 60 mins, then I can see Bobby try to do so, then 60+ score here we go

[PotatoPancake420]

Y'all are saying how it's not gonna do well critically and won't chart at all… are we talking about the same artist?? Especially when Disease was PRAISED

The P4k's of the world are gonna drag her for adding DWAS, but I think if it's really good, maybe that won't matter 

[PerfectCure]

DWAS will sound excellent as a closer once the album is out even if it was a marketing choice. Calling it now 

[Edonis]

Some of y'all speak of Gar as if she's Katy Perry. Enough. 

 

OT: I am into the album cover. The distorted glass reminds me of some of the editing techniques on some early Skinny Puppy albums, which I'm sure have influenced some of the music on the album.
