finally listened to the album... did these critics get a different version cus what i'm hearing is far from AOTY...

Exactly how I felt with HMHAS. Definitely good, but the acclaim is a little confusing me a little. 

Very happy to see both of them getting long overdue flowers from the public though!

Someone please explain Charli. I heard the first 3 songs and checked out because I didn’t like those first 3 at all. I have to be missing something (besides the remaining 12 songs lmaoo)

I agree. Rave reviews or not, Charli’s style and vocals do not work for me. Diff’rent strokes.

stop being weird and clout chasing

all i did was a random, half-serious, half-joking comment that took me a couple of seconds to make, and it's nothing more than my opinion. you're talking about cooking a meal, being on my phone too much, and calling me a clout chaser lol

 

also, what clout? it's gagadaily, we are two random people; there's no clout to chase lol

I think part of the acclaim comes from the fact the record feels very fresh and spontaneous, not very forced, overly planned and kinda inorganic like some other major releases we got this year (Cowboy Carter, TTPD)

Not sure about album of the year, but far more exciting than anything else that’s come out this year. Thats for sure. 

My. Lawyer. Liked. That.

To be honest when I first dabbled in charli's music years ago I genuinely hated it and all the hyperpop stuff too but somewhere down the line I ended up giving another shot after learning more about what it's trying to do and why. Its crazy because now she's basically my favourite artist, and most of what I remember hating I actually love now. For me I just had to expand what I understood pop/dance music to be and in my opinion she's one of the few along with others in that underground adjacent kinda scene who have done more to actually push the needle of what pop can sound like and regularly make a genre filled with stale formulas sound fresh and exciting again, and that's coming from someone who loves basic pop songs lmaoo.

 

OT - I'm actually obsessed, I love this album so much

In "nobody asked" news...

I spent a good portion of this weekend exploring her discography and giving her more of a chance than I have in the past. I pretty much exclusively listened to her this weekend. Here is where the albums rank for me.

This is ranked by "tracks I like divided by total number of tracks on the album". I saved her entire discography to my library. If I didn't like a track, I removed it. If I could see myself growing to like a track with more listens, I kept it.

True Romance - 100% ; actually amazing.
CRASH - 91% ; actually amazing.
Sucker - 68% ; mostly great
BRAT - 55% ; mostly great - Increase (+2 spots) with 3 new tracks; I like them all!
Charli - 53% ; mostly great
how i'm feeling now - 36% 
Number 1 Angel - 20% 
Pop 2 - 10% ; I hated this record.

True Romance isn't a true 100%, but I can see the songs I don't really like growing on me, so I didn't remove them. I gave Pop 2 and Number 1 Angel two chances after their initial listens before I removed the tracks I didn't like.

The songs I like on BRAT, in order, are:
So I
I might say something stupid
Everything is romantic
I think about it all the time
Girl, so confusing
Symptathy is a knife
360

I did not rank any other album by tracklist of what tracks I like more than others.

The songs I liked from all of her records:

Easily album of the year. Her most cohesive, her most fun, her most unhinged. It’s just consistently insane from beginning to end. We love to see it

Religion is a product to sell.

I’m so happy for her. I’ve always thought she was underrated and glad she’s finally getting all this mainstream acclaim. I love brat so deserving. Her Crash tour was unexpectedly one of my fave shows of the year so hope she brings it with this one too
