Lady Gaga – Mayhem

Not about the music itself but the pressing; tracks 13 and 14 have digital errors and do NOT play/copy over digitally correctly.

My copy sounds great, one of the best "modern" cassettes I've heard in of quality. There are moments where it sounds a bit saturated, but the majority of the tape is very audible.

Mayhem is definitely a great contender for album of the year, she fucking did THAT

Superb pressing! Great bass and clarity. Glad that i got this

Best Gaga release yet. I get that different is hard to accept. This record has a bit of everything and is great just put on and do literally anything or nothing at all.

Sounds mostly fantastic, I've noticed some sibilance on the inner ring (especially noticeable for me on "Vanish Into You") even after cleaning which is a shame but otherwise pretty good!

Right now this is currently the prize of my entire collection. So glad I held off on buying this album until this version was released. I'm a sucker for 180g vinyl due to the weight and how they feel. Everything sounds great to me.
Only issue I have is with the inner sleeves. I LOVE they put art on the sleeves, but I wish they were a different material.

Sounds great! The cd looks so cute with my LP

The melody of the verse on Killah is practically Sign O The Times by Prince. The Princey/Wendy Melvoin funk guitar at the end pretty much seals the argument. Not that I mind one bit, it is just plain to hear ;)
Over all, I reckon this to be Lady Gaga back in form, still not minding any tour/detour she decides to do from this perspective, the album still sums up and continue on the original Gaga magic power pop in its rather Swedish guise (albeit the total absence of any national, the spirit is still partially here).
With all these different covers/pressings/colors I ended up with this white Amazon edition as the aesthetics spoke the most to me, and in this case I do prefer three full sides more than four. I can't care much for the etching, it is still "in line", but a full poster, that is always nice (Thanks!! :)
I probably enjoy the first half of the album more than the later part, but with only one spin, I realize that the unwinding into non-toxic topics might have its soothing counter measures that I will learn to appreciate.
My copy has no serious flaws, but I should probably have wet cleaned it before playing (the white vinyl was so seductive!).
The mastering/sound is indeed a bit too thin and too bright on higher volume as pointed out by others and more detail to the bass frequencies would have paid off on the more modern/bold tracks at the beginning, cause the bass surely doesn't help drawing you in. But Lady Gaga does ❤️

In love with the etching & the jacket quality. I really wish other modern releases would use this type of card for their vinyl jackets!
