Every Song From Lady Gaga’s ‘Mayhem’ Album, Ranked
Lady Gaga's long-awaited new album 'Mayhem' has finally arrived. Here are all of the songs from the LP ranked.
But in the greater context of Mayhem, “Die With a Smile” feels like a bit more like an afterthought, or an epilogue on an album that takes bigger risks, employs bolder lyrics and embraces bedlam itself at every turn. Inspired by icons like David Bowie, “Vanish” brings a glitzy finish to the frayed edges of Mayhem, complete with chunky guitars and four-on-the-floor rhythms that make you want to get up and dance. The beauty of “Abracadabra” lies in its ability to remind you of Gaga’s past triumphs — the nonsense words of “Bad Romance,” the grinding club beats of Artpop, the ballroom theatrics of Born This Way — while still retaining its own unique shape.
