deserved for So I and Girl, so confusing alone :alexz:

So jarring seeing people not ask "and why do we care about this person's opinion?" like they do when he rates an album from their fav's less than favorably.

As a Charli stan (she's my 2nd fav of all time) I don't get the hype for this album and her other hyperpop albums are my fav from her. I'm just confused why this one's getting the most acclaim.
 

Pop 2, N1A, hifn and True Romance are all way better to me. I'd maybe even put Charli and Crash above brat :sorry:

 

im happy for her tho as it's still a good album

Never wanted him SAT on my face more.  Everything is romantic playing in the background. I think about it all the time. :jonny5:

He panned her last album. 
 

Funnily enough, people were calling him a hater when he dragged Crash (and misogynistic of course because DUH). Now he's suddenly a stan. Y'all can't even keep a clear narrative when it comes to this man.

I completely agree. Brat is great but I'm extremely perplexed by the sudden acclaim. The innovation was there with N1A/P2. The rawness and spontaneity was there with HIFN. It feels like a bandwagon. 
 

Ultimately, brat will probably fall somewhere in the middle of her discography for me. Better than Crash, Charli and Sucker. Around the same as True Romance.

He has always been a Charli stan, him not liking her last album doesn't mean much.

The craziest thing is that this album is one mega GROWER. I would had given it a 6/10, and it would had been less if it wasn't for the pre released singles, but it's a solid 9/10 for me now... It's the most well executed concept album of the year, MAYBE...YOU just press PLAY and JAMMM

I think it's because this time the hyperpop was combined with more vulnerable/real lyricism.

 

From some of the 5/5 reviews:

 

A courageous, candid reflection on how dreadful it can feel to constantly be the "cool girl", the one who laughs off failure, or pretends not to care what the critics think.

- The Telegraph

 

Whatever the stats and her self-esteem might say, it's hard to think of another pop star whose vision is so expansive and generous, not least in her willingness to risk being seen as mean in order to say something true. Most of her superstar peers are busy making unrelatable music about how hard it is to be famous. Yet Charli has never lost sight of how hard it is to be human

- The Guardian

 

It's the most raw and honest version of Charli she's shown us in a while, a complicated pop figure who's more than just a party girl.

I guess they missed HIFN then :eli:

 

In all seriousness, I'm not mad that she's being acclaimed but it just feels odd they chose to champion this one because self-examination is not new territory for Charli. Critically, HIFN was basically paid dust despite achieving everything brat did and more. I don't think there was another album that managed to capture the anxiety, self-reflection and boredom that the pandemic inflicted upon us.

well HIFN is not as realised as brat and that's it really. sonically it's rushed and messy, i'll give it credit lyrically she was being more vulnerable and open but brat just does that even more boldly and covers a lot more interesting topics. on HIFN you have to dig a bit to find the core of the song buried under the abrasive production whereas on brat the production is serving the lyrics and sentiment while still being perfectly executed. HIFN was also critically acclaimed and listed for a mercury prize, loved by fans, but it was a quick quarantine mixtape moment.

Watch the gays suddenly care about his opinion

 

:ryan3:

Everyone cares about his opionion already. If not, why would there be countless threads about him whenever someone puts out an album.
