Is SUCKER by Charli XCX really that bad?


Recommended Posts

The album that turned me officially into a fan back then, i was obsessed!

 

Unfortunately with time many songs grew off me but I do apprciate the nostalgia.

Doing It, Need Ur Luv, Body of My Own and Caught in the Middle are all A tier pop songs so no! :jonnycat:

its literally synth pop perfection along with the hyper pop perfection pop2 :clap3:

It was literally the last time she released a full body of work that was listenable throughout, so no.

Tiesto saved her by releasing this masterpiece 

the drop tho :WAP:

How is nobody talking about the title track on this album!? That's the best song on there, it's so much fun :rockon: I've been dreaming of her doing a hyperpop version of that on a love show someday :jonny5:

 

Overall the album isn't bad imo, but Break The Rules is a career lowpoint :priceless: I also agree with the fillers in the op and I personally don't really Like Boom Clap, mostly because of the lyrics and melody. I think the album just suffers from having too many songs that are okay, but that aren't great (thinking of Gold Coins, Famous, and so on). Body Of My Own, Doing It and So Over You are bops, tho! :cm:

No. Doing It, Sucker, and Gold Coins are bops!

i hated sucker when it came out because of how different it was to true romance, but in hindsight it was an okay album. i never really revisited any of the few songs i did like, but need your love (japanese wallpaper remix) and the title track are cute!

this genuinely being one of the best pop songs of all time, no words as to why it wasn’t as big of hit as Boom clap

it's a solid album, Charli doesn't really have bad projects tbh

 

Need Ur Luv is still incredible

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:

Body of My Own

Caught in the Middle

 

I totally agree; it was so lame and off-putting that it deterred me from listening to the full thing or liking her lol

I have been listening to SUCKER a lot this past days and it’s a very good record that it gets overshadowed by the hate it received when it came out + the Charli hate to the record but it’s one of the most catchy and fun albums I ever heard ever like… it’s an incredible power pop record after all

No, it's a fun album and I've always perceived it as an ironic take on late teenage love, female empowerment and heartbreak. It felt like it wasn't meant to be taken seriously, but I guess it doesn't align with Charli's pretentious self-perception of her own place in the music landscape, I guess.

 

It doesn't hold a candle next to True Romance, but it's a solid pop album. Sucker, Need Your Love, Famous, Body Of My Own, Gold Coins, Caught in the Middle and Doing It are all bops!
