I don't hate the song per se, but I really am disappointed.

I like GaGa but I think this sounds like a corny theatrical mess, really dislike it.
Just Dance > Bad Romance > Applause > Born this Way > This Mess

Remember that even the guy from GrapeJuice warned us.
''DO NOT LOOK AT FIRST WEEK FIGURES!''
This will take some time for people to catch on with it.
Complextro masterpiece, I called it.
''Perfect Illusion'' will SMASH and all ATRL will deal with it.

Where are you looking, my friends love it, the reception is good, the like/dislike ratio on YT is good, for every bad comment there is a good one. The ones who shamelessly hate the song are bottom twinks on music forums who are hating just because.
PS: the song is getting hate from Gaga's own fanbase. There are people who compare PI to Telephone god damn it. What kind of bullcrap.

Man this single is getting so much acclaim. I took this from a GGD thread created by Enigma.
-Bustle: "let's face it, as tremendous a performer and actress as she may be, nothing compares to how perfectly pop her music is when it's at it's best. So, it's with much relief that I can report Gaga released her new single, "Perfect Illusion"on Friday morning, and it's a blissful burst of anthemic-rock infused dance pop."
-The Atlantic:"She’s dressing more like a normie these days, but Lady Gaga is still a weirdo. No other pop star in need of a comeback in 2016 would stake it on “Perfect Illusion,” a song that has no clear electronic dance signifiers, no hip-hop influence, little to no vocal manipulation, and no chill. It will stick out on radio playlists like a meat dress on a red carpet; whether it’ll thus be promptly thrown out for bad taste or be hailed as brave and trendsetting will be a question for the masses."
-NME: "Lady Gaga makes a formidable return with disco banger. It wasn't love, it wasn't love/It was a perfect illusion," she sings on its instantly catchy chorus, sounding at once powerful and totally fine with the situation that's unfurled."
-EW: "This time, she skips the flashy synths and club beats for a streamlined, rock-n-roll banger made with an unlikely team"
-Daily Beast: "A groovy, lower lip-biting, "hell yeah… alright…" of a pop-rock banger, Lady Gaga's Pat Benatar moment becomes one of those orgasmic musical releases. When your dutifully tapping foot transforms, almost as if under a spell, into a pogo stick and you find yourself compelled to ecclesiastical jumping, belting out the chorus to "Perfect Illusion" like it's an experience both religious and sexual.
It's the moment Lady Gaga's formidable banger and return to pop music transforms itself from a pleasant and acceptable comeback effort to something great and undeniable. It might even color your impression of the entire song."
-Vox:“Perfect Illusion” is a three-minute chip off the ol’ dance-pop block, bridging the space between driving disco and Springsteen-esque anthem (the latter of which greatly informed the best singles off Gag’s 2011 hit album, Born This Way). It’s an encouraging return to form for Gaga"
-Business Insider: "Lady Gaga just dropped her first new single in years, 'Perfect Illusion,' and it's fantastic. But that's not to say this isn't the Gaga we know. The '80s arena-rock vibe that owes something to both Bruce Springsteen and hair-metal as well as more straightforward pop of the decade, and those soaring, hold-nothing-back vocals, are vintage Gaga. And with the hooks on this brief earworm ("It wasn't luuuuhv"), expect to hear this thing all over the radio or your friend's playlist immediately."
-The Verge: "The song is reminiscent of "Bad Romance"-era Gaga, but with the extra adrenaline shot of a big stadium rock song and some twinkly, vaguely creepy '80s synthesizers. There's definitely a kick to her voice, and a toughness that has been on a back shelf since 2009's The Fame Monster."
-People: "Mother Monster is back! Lady Gaga released her long-awaited single "Perfect Illusion" and the wait was totally worth it."
-Vulture: "the song is a catchy, quirky return to form from a pop A-lister finally ready to storm the charts again."
-Digital Spy: "Early reviews from radio stations declared an almighty return. This is a Lady Gaga banger that's been undressed – both in sound and image. The disco-rock refrain pretty much blasts you at full volume from the 30-second point onwards, but compared to the star's last few releases, it doesn't feel overly cluttered. It has a decent melody, and a surging, stadium-worthy build-up that echoes Bruce Springsteen. 'Perfect Illusion' is Gaga getting to grips with songwriting again – and she sounds all the better for it."
-The Telegraph: "It delights me to write that this is a return to Just Dance-era Gaga: a simple, infectiously catchy slice of floor-filling, stadium-cheering pop. What’s gradually happened since 2008 is that Gaga has allowed her stage school-trained voice to show off. On Perfect Illusion it has a rich timbre, a force of emotion that has previously been overshadow on tracks such as Applause – her last big single – by production. Her vocals hint at Gaga’s signature brand of weird, but mostly they just show what many people don’t realise: that she’s an excellent singer. Perfect Illusion doesn’t mess about with complicated messages or navel-gazing introspections; it’s just a song about realising that you’re not in love with somebody. In that way, this is classic Gaga, who has always toyed with matters of the heart and painted them anew – I daresay the video will give more insight into how she does so with this. But for now, the song will do just fine: it’s a joy to have Gaga – and just Gaga – back."

Work was trashed at first but I could tell it was a smash immediately. It has an irresistible beat, especially in the clubs.
It's really hard to imagine hearing this one in the clubs.

Considering Applause is only 905 spins, yes!
Perfect Illusion is already at 1,548 spins and we have 5 hours 30 mins more!
