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

[Heldenzeit]

Chromatica is very overhated on here but the quality just isn't the same.

 

Mayhem >>>

[Pikachoo]

honestly yes. I resonate with Chromatica more because behind the 90s dance beats is a very vulnerable Gaga. its her darkest album tbh

[Verge of Obscene]

both are great but that 911-Plastic Doll-Sour Candy-Enigma-Replay sequence is just 

[J-esper]

I prefer Mayhem. All songs are great or more, even How Bad Do You Want Ally 

 

Chromatica has duds like Sine from Elton's Grave and 1.000 Pigeons that I always skip. The rest is great though, deserved more singles/videos

[tellem]

You are right about the visuals though. So much of the promotional material has just been glitch effects added to the same few photos. Even Chromatica's Spotify canvases were more fun to look at

[Mr. Mendes]

I really like Chromatica, but Mayhem is a much better record overall. It's highs are infinitely higher than Chromatica's and it's lows are nowhere near as low.

Chromatica might have some higher highs 

The other way around

[beyonceparkwood]

Mayhem is better; its highs are higher. Both have similarly extreme low lows though.

The "worst song" on Godhem is still 7/10, meanwhile Chromatica has Stupid Love

I'm enjoying Mayhem way too much like i have never listened to Lady Gaga like this so her releasing an album like this into her 17-year career is impressive to me.

Chromatica's only STELLAR song was 1000 doves but we aint ready to have this conversation.

Born This Way, Chromatica's & Mayhem are Gaga trilogy 

[Katamari]

i think the best version of the songs from chromatic and the remix album could compete with mayhem

[BlossomSoul]

the only thing that is better about chromatica is the visuals and cover..

 

songs like plastic doll, sine from above, and free women ruin the album for me but there are definitely some bops

[Mikeymoonshine]

Put it this way I think both albums are good but Mayhem is just much more successful at what she was trying to do with it. Chromatica felt too safe productionwise the fact that the songs are really short for streaming purposes is also telling. It's still good and I don't think any of the songs are terrible but every song on Mayhem feels like so much effort was put into perfecting it. 

[Elusive Chanteuse]

Yes. Mayhem is a 6-7 out of 10 for me. 

IDK its not what I expected. Chromatics is superior. 

[CBC]

You're right and you should say it. The mob mentality hate towards Chromatica has always been weird, and imo, rooted in thinly veiled homophobia

[jim19911126]

They are very different from each other, I personally still love Chromatica more than MAYHEM but both good albums.
