Perfect Illusion first thoughts?

We needed a new thread because everything is a mess in the section

Honestly? I wasn't impressed on the first listen, but I'm loving it a lot more with each listen. It's a grower.

My only ciritic is that it's a bit repetitive, but I'm glad it's under 3min because then it would just drag on and on. 

I think it's interesting and different. I don't feel like you could have PI on any of her previous albums. Maybe BTW, but even that's a stretch. 

I like it!

first listen was like sis wtf

 

2nd listen was like still wtf is this

 

3rd listen was like wait that bridge

thought the same

I honestly love it. The rawness of her voice and the production was jarring at first, but it grew on me pretty quick. It's like a modern take on 80's pop-rock. The melodies and her vocals remind me of Iron Maiden and Stevie Nicks. Really wish there was a guitar solo in there somewhere. 8/10 for me

IT IS SO

FUCKING

GOOD

I CANT

OMYGOD

[JoeBrand 114]

Exactly what I was expecting, I know it will only get better with the video!
The vocals are heartbroken rough
And that bridge... Reminds me of fameGa

its what the gp needs now. i cant take that soft bitchy basic music anymore. CRUSH THE CHARTS with your raw HAMMERING vocals and production queen.

[Paranomin 1,059]

My first listen was in my car after I bought it on iTunes right after I worked out.  I was thinking what the fuck is this?
I was unsure on what I heard and how I felt about it.

 

Hour after I was showing a friend and I started liking it

 

Third listen I was loving the rawness of Gaga's voice and love the different sound and direction. Reminds me of 80s rock pop.

 

Fourth listen. I like it. Im gonna guess as I listen to it more I will like it more and more. Im excited for the video

I think this is not a great lead single choice.

That's short, there's no chorus... Yet the music is good but the all thing doesn't give a good "mixture". I'm so surprise the team she took actually gave this.

[AGNTEA 2,115]

I really love the verses so much.

The chorus is still meh to me, I'm kinda confused because the vocals are a mix of The Fame Monster era (Bridge)

and her classical live performance vocals

I hoped for a pop vocal track, but thinking about it I love Gaga for doing the shit she wants!

[Princess Aurora 31,349]

Meh 

[Mingyu. 12,311]

I was really hoping she would snatch my wig, but sadly nothing happened.  

I was so looking forward to new GaGa music.. Hope the rest of LG5 will slay me.

[Angelus 11,476]

Can't wait for video tho she's gonna slay that energy

I was thinking the same.

From a commercial standpoint this is exactly what she needs. It's catchy, the lyrics are simple, straight to the point and VERY relatable (something Gaga struggles with sometimes).

lmao I meant relatable  

[Petit Monstre 30]

Loud, vibrant, full of energy

[Lachlan 18,471]

I'm so glad she's taking a stand and released something that doesn't sound like anything on the charts right now. I really, really love the song more with every listen. It makes me soooooo excited for what's to come with this record.
