C,XOXO “boring, uninspired, a collection of generic beats set to pointless lyrics”

[Squidward T 1,957]

C, XOXO is being panned by music critics. Do you agree? 

[Madame Goo Goo 3,661]

I’ve seen mixed reviews, I would not say it is being panned at all. It got a 6.9 from Pitchfork.

[BlingNotTheMusic 30,831]

It's pretty bad imo.

I knew from the first time I heard "i luv it" that it was going to be off. That song is just structured weird and it's very jarring, which is definitely indicative of the album. It's a shame because the music video has great visuals. 

The album just feels unfocused, scattered, obnoxious and short 

[Amidana 4,228]

The thing is… a lot of music critics are calling it a charli xcx rip off when only ONE song sounds a little hyperpop. It’s clear biased opinions, and a lot of critics are charli/Normani stand. It’s okay though, we’ve seen this with other iconic albums  just enjoy the music, not the bling!!

she got higher Pitchfork rating than other pop girls

[PartySick 141,606]

To give y'all an idea of how little I pay attention to pop, I thought "C,XOXO" was Charli XCX and thought "wait, I thought critics liked brat?"

This is my exact reaction. I was very confused

insane

[FreedomInTheMusic 341]

I’m a bit undecided on how I feel about the album so far. I’ll need to sit on it for a while. That said, it’s a million times more interesting to me that she is trying something unexpected for her. Give me bold, not boring.

[Ayden 74]

I expected the album to sound differently. Even so, i really liked it. I just wish it was longer. It feels like it lacks something, but i still can't wrap my head around what that is. 

It has some cool bops tho... it's a fun album, i wouldn't define it as "boring" imo. Messy... probably, but not boring. 

[Reject False Icons 4,554]

Is this how it felt living 2010 with the Gaga/Bad Romance Xtina/Bionic hate train of tireless comparisons and criticism  

I don’t listen to Camila but it’s really annoying to see stans stuck in that mentality of the first one is the original and everything after is a copy, as if Charli was the only inventor of that style of music  

[Pandauralife 604]

It's honestly so good. Sonically I think it's just really exciting. Just listened to it for the first time so I may need to sit with the lyrics for a while before I can say I really love it.

Still can't believe they gave Billie a 6.8 it's literally contender for AOTY.

They’re ahead of their time for that one IMO, I like that album a bit less each time I listen. Really only here for Chihiro and Birds of a feather at this point.
