Been listening to "Mayhem" nonstop and am convinced this is Lady Gaga's '80s Alternative album, given the nods to late-decade Cure, Bowie, Siouxsie, Yazoo, the New Romantics, Prince, etc. Just such a fun, savvy pop album that makes perfect sense for her career now. - ThreadSky

I don’t quite know how else to articulate it but to me it also feels like her most New York album yet.

YES, that's such a great point! i picked up on some of those the first listen through, but now i want to sit down again and find all the references.

I hadn't thought about it that way, but maybe this also contextualizes bringing in Gesaffelstein after what he did on his last album (French people LOVE Depeche Mode)
