March 6, 20251 yr Come ON get her the best metacritic score so far in Gaga’s career please!!!The album is honestly her best piece of work, EVER. Born This Way had duds and skips, I honestly haven’t skipped any song so far (yes even the Blade of Grass!). The highs don’t reach as high as Born This Way, but it’s cohesive and consistent!

March 7, 20251 yr Rolling Stone gives Lady Gaga’s ‘MAYHEM’ 4 out of 5 stars (80) saying it “recalls some of her finest moments without feeling like a step backward.”Anotheronethankyew!
March 7, 20251 yr "Her refusal to be boxed in by genre constraints ensured that the album became a homecoming without feeling like an ending. Mayhem is a testament to the power of constant reinvention that isn’t pandering, proving that even after two decades at the forefront of pop culture, Lady Gaga remains an artist in constant motion. Best of luck to anyone trying to chase her down."Consequence gives the album a score of 83!The positive scores keep on coming
March 9, 20251 yr “The album has a little bit of everything and stands as one of Gaga’s strongest releases. Future releases may not be as steeped in nostalgia, but Lady Gaga is one of few who can pull it off successfully.” — RIFF Magazine (80/100)Sputnikmusic gives it a score of 90/100 (it'll count for Metacritic)
March 10, 20251 yr Author Pitchfork gives 8.0"Almost twenty years into her recording career and more famous than ever, she is right where she’s supposed to be."https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/lady-gaga-mayhem/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=dhtwitter&utm_content=null
March 10, 20251 yr Just finished reading the whole review and loved and agreed with pretty much every word of it
March 17, 20251 yr DIY Magazine gives the album 90/100!“Yet ultimately ‘MAYHEM’ blurs the line between the two (Gaga and Stefani), in its sheer pop-filled joy offering the fresh conclusion that they are by all accounts the very same; perfectly unsubtle and all-out fun.”
