Is SUCKER by Charli XCX really that bad?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Songs like Break the Rules & Die Tonight were a juvenile digression in her discography, but Boom Clap doing well probably had the label making the more basic songs of the album sessions make the final track list. I mean there are a lot of good pop songs on there that would be great for others, but are just passable compared to Charli's other efforts. But Charli's voice makes anything sound like a hit. It isn't a bad album at all, just a less interesting one in her discography. I ******* love Sucker, Body of My Own, Famous & Need Ur Love tho

No 

 

and Break the Rules is her best song

 

The album bang hard like Melodrama, the hard beat is made for dancefloor

cant say the same about some other unlistenable stuff from her (no angel, 1999, boys, focus are some of these songs) and those too artsy stuff that will just stay underground.

It is CERTAINLY her worst. I loved this album when it came out though. I just think everything Charli has done 2015 onward has been so much more interesting, impressive, and impactful.

People who say this is a bad album are only here for hyperpop Charli. Real fans know this album is a gem!

 

The way I used to play this on repeat while playing Mario Kart online. Songs like Breaking Up, Gold Coins, London Queen, Doing It, Need Ur Luv >>>> :smitten:

Maybe you should. It’s a very accesible record and very energetic and aggressive full of catchy hooks and choruses. It’s a very upbeat record to enjoy while working out, walking, playing video games or even just being on a car drive

No it's not. The fact that it's on the lower end of the spectrum for her albums speaks volumes to how good Charli's music is. I personally think it's her second worst album (N1A is my least favorite and even that has fantastic songs) and agree that it was better in 2014 both before we knew what was to come from Charli and because that year was overall pretty bad for music, though.

It’s her only good album, so yes.

doing it and break the rules are AMAZING. we can place her hyper pop projects as her worst while true romance, crash and pop 2 are her best.

i actually was listening to it a couple days ago, and it’s…. not that good. There’s some enjoyable songs but it’s definitely her worst project with some of her most boring songs

 

Even the song that everyone overrates (Need Ur Love) is GOD awful.

It's better than True Romance, but anyone saying SUCKER is Charli's best project when albums like how I'm feeling now and Charli exist is just laughable. 

 

Heck, even her EPs (Vroom Vroom, Number 1 Angel, and Pop 2) are way better than Charli's first two studio albums.

 

Alas, I think even CRASH, which I wanted to go harder, is even better than Sucker.

No, I think it's even a good to great album. I think her worst album to date is probably Crash, but that album also grew on me quite a lot. 

 

I really like her discography in fact, probably one of the most interesting pop girl discographies to date and nothing is bad.

this is a classic of the 10s 

Posted

no? it's a good pop album

 

people who don't like it don't like fun :sorry:

 

Need Ur Luv, Caught in the Middle, and Famous in particular are discography highlights. Break the Rules ALSO aged like wine! when it first came out, i was disappointed with how it sounded after the smashery of Boom Clap, but it sounds better than ever these days :clap3:

Some good songs, but not my favourite. A big part of the problem was that it came after True Romance, so it wasn't what fans wanted or expected.

Break The Rules is worse than ME!

But the rest of the album is actually really good

Great album and better than self titled.  A couple meh (hanging around, die tonight) but they’re not even that bad

It’s her best album, but y’all aren’t ready for that conversation :bird:

Releasing Break the Rules as a single was a huge misstep in her career. That song drags the whole album down for me. Other than that a lot of the other tracks are very catchy. 
 

Filler songs:

Die Tonight

:clap3:

I honestly LOVELVOE LOVEEE Sucker, everything about it is great...Would have been more perfect if the punk record vision was allowed to happen but I love what we got ANYWAY

Posted

No, it’s a great album.

Posted

Die Tonight is great I don't know what you guys are talking about :rip:

It's very of the 'tumblr girl' era but there's no reason to **** on a cool pop song.

This and crash are her top 2 best albums! so ofcourse not.
