poll Are we ready to admit Chromatica STOMPS on Mayhem, and y'all suffer of recency bias?

[Verandi]

Chromatica gave us house sounds, OTHERWORDLY VISUALS, FASHION STATEMENTS, impeccable 3 act flow in the record, interludes, 911, and unique production and melodies—it gave us true pop effort. Meanwhile the good sis MAYHEM rightly so gave us Abracadabra, but the rest.. feels more like a tribute cover album of iconic artists like MJ and Taylor Swift for the safe soccer moms that like to feel spicy and modern. Are we actually stanning quality or just what's new and shiny in an atrl fashion?

 

Sure Chromatica has it's low moments, but the highs are higher, whereas MAYHEM has lows too, but the highs just don't go high enough IMO...

 

 

VISUALS

 

 

Spanning a remix album with modern indie hyperpop artists:

 

 

And a brutalism inspired tour

 

 

Are we ready to admit what time will eventually tell?

Mayhem is the better record objectively. Then it's a matter of taste. 

[Freaky Prince]

Chromatica > Mayhem for me 

[Trent W]

Honestly they are around the same

 

Chromatica might have some higher highs 

[James_Dean]

Chromatica apologist, here 

[sunbathinganimal]

idk about that but Chromatica is a great album and I will never understand the hate circlejerk on here

Objectively where exactly? the part where she cosplays as Michael Jackson? or Taylor Swift? Or Depeche Mode or David Bowie or Prince?

[Popboi.]

I just know you're not bragging about videos when one has Abracadabra and the other has… Stupid Love

[Devin]

first 7 tracks on mayhem washes (4 decent songs) on chromatica.

[Maxxxine]

FACTS. Chromatica is IT for me. The 90's house influences ateee.

The truth is both are amazing albums in their own right also both are so different so I don't get the comparison 

it's dumb

I'll give you Abracadabra music video, that's been the only thing that has kept Mayhem above water. I'm still obsessed with it. <3

[Mr. Stratus]

Chromatica had more potential 

mayhem is better for her legacy, she's shut her 'fated' detractors up with Wyatt production imo

The dark record that is MAYHEM and its song How bad do you want me by TS says hi

No but 911 does in fact clear all of Mayhem 

 

[Reginald]

No.

However, I am a diehard Enigma defender. That track is a hidden gem. 

 

[KillingYourCareer]

Chromatica is Gaga's best album but Mayhem is also a masterpiece

[awong918]

No, every Mayhem track barring Blade of Grass and Killah stomps on every track from Chromatica.
