Just because she's trying something different doesn't mean people are dense or not getting it if it's not to their taste. It's a disingenuous way of interfacing criticism to say "you don't get it" especially when it's not universal to every track on this. Huh? You clearly don't get it since we were having a discussion on the approach to songwriting that she's mentioned in several interviews for basically this entire year. So yes, the "you don't get it" applies when something factual isn't taken into account. Would you like me to link them to you or are you implying you're one of those people who have lives and likely do not have the capacity to consumer every bit of media related to the artists you listen to? 1
truthteller Posted October 10 Posted October 10 she always finds a way to keep the songs so fresh... it's like they're having a second life again... the brat era is ICONIC 3 1
mxoonlight Posted October 10 Posted October 10 I'm going to take a second with this one to dive deeper because the middling reactions didn't really move me with the leak but I'm kind of seeing why now nnn. It's an interesting choice to have most of the songs be more like continuations and direct accessory pieces to the main tracks rather than heightened reduxes like Guess and GSC but I'm feeling right now like taking B2B, 365 and Club Classics and going back to brat deluxe. We'll see how my brat fall unfolds tbh.

Pop Fan Posted October 10 Posted October 10 Taylor dodged a bullet by not being on the SIAK remix. I would be so disappointed if this would be the version she'd be on because the og SIAK is such a massive banger while this remix is imo just a massive bummer because of its wasted potential 13

Anyway, hope you enjoy diving into the rest of the album like you noted. I'm trying a similar approach as I'm personally struggling to connect with the material so here's to both of us finding something more we like. 1

It's subversive to have Ariana not do a commercial sounding song but it's expository as to why she doesn't - it's not always the most flattering fit. Edited October 10 by mxoonlight 1
josesuxx Posted October 10 Posted October 10 This is basically a new album and while it's less accessible (not as catchy I guess) it's just as good as BRAT! Only for intellectuals 9
ATRL Moderator MissedTheTrain Posted October 10 ATRL Moderator Posted October 10 Outside of a few songs, I might like this as a whole more than the original I kinda need to be in the mood for the original but this version is more chill and has some more variety. I'm obsessed. 2
knewbetterpt2 Posted October 10 Posted October 10 Charli understands the concept of a remix and completely reimagining the songs transcending them into new lives while also maintaining their originals integrity. I can see why some stans are not going to gravitate towards this project because they were just expecting features to be slapped on the original productions from Brat. But if you've been with Charli since the get go this remix album truly feels like a celebratory home run for Miss XCX. She's done just enough restructuring on these remixes to make both versions of each song feel like huge successes in their own right. The fact she got Ariana Grande Butera in her Pinkpantheress and Robyn-fembot-era bag is something I will be trying to wrap my head around for the next several weeks to come, she's just brilliant sorry! 9 2 1
Gabriel Posted October 10 Posted October 10 Wow they're totally revamped, I only played a few songs but gonna consume it all on Spotify tomorrow. ps. Did anyone's vinyls ship?

dcol Posted October 10 Posted October 10 I need a whole album with Bon Iver now… her vocals have never sounds better holy shittt 1
Mickie Posted October 10 Posted October 10 (edited) I've just realised she totally ignored the 20secondsnow on the remix album and I was so hyped for this Anyone knows what happened to this? (couldn't post the short snipped from the soundcloud so pardon me this weak ext something ). /edit I know it's a remix album but she could've added this one and slapped a ft., it sounds like HEAVEN Edited October 10 by Mickie

I'm just gonna treat it as a whole new album and not edit anything Yeah I'm keeping the originals under brat and the remix tracks under this. 1

Not to get all ~conspiracy theory, but I have a hard time believing this release is it when it comes to the "bratosphere". Is this an actual remix album? Sure, but I would use the word reimagined - but I think the large majority of people are expecting tried & true remixes (producers, dj, etc.). That could be a missing piece and what I think may be a third release - either officially or unofficially. I could also be delusional. There's also the point Charli made about wanting to saturate the fanbase with demos, remixes, etc. at the start of the campaign. Perhaps plans have changed given the success of the OG record? Time will tell as I've learned quickly this summer that predicting what happens next with this era is a fool's errand. 1
