After listening to Perfect Illusion, I just couldn't stop talking about it. Mind you, not in the sense that someone can't stop talking about a great book or show, but more along the line of how someone can't stop talking about their colonoscopy during a diner conversation. In other words, after listening to it you can't help but try and remove the stain it left on your very soul by vomiting out the experience onto others.
This song tries to boast the fact that it is written by Mark Ronson and other hit makers. What they forgot to mention is that these big names were unsuccessful in writing lyrics that do not accelerate a mass suicide. Put more delicately, this song almost makes Katy Perry's music look Grammy worthy, which ironically enough is made fun of by Lady Gaga's fans for being horrid. Coincidence? Yeah, not even some sort of Karma dealing fiend would wish this song upon the world.
"So," you ask, "What makes it so bad?" I bet you're thinking of Gaga's pretentious attitude and the way her fans rave about how good her music is, right? No, actually Gaga's music was never good at all, it just seems that way because of how her fans talk about her music, evidently due to the fact that they don't want to give up on her. When you actually listen to the song, you start to ask, "What was all the hype about?" The answer: You can see pretty flowers if you ignore the fact that they are growing from the corpse of a man who died during a freak green house accident.
Do yourself a favor, stream Charlie Puth's latest album and hit yourself in the head with a hammer. It'll be twice as good and be only a fifth as painful.
Cheers.
