[octophone]

I'm going to try and pick this up at lunchtime so I'll get back to you.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

HER BEST ALBUM


There I said it.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Why is it so SLOW!?

Someone really needed to give that metronome a kick

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

I haven't had chance to listen through properly yet, but Lightning (her tribute to SOPHIE surely?) has potential to be one of her all-time best

 

[GNL]

Listening to Crash now

Thanks for the invite. And no I can’t make it today

Pretty much every song, Lightning especially, would be improved immeasurably if they were just 10% faster. As it stands the album is PEDESTRIAN.

CRASH ​

 

[Iguana]

What?!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

WE LOVE HER SO MYCH

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Charli appears to have plonked herself behind the counter of Rough Trade East doing FAN SIGNINGS (with Crash purchase only of course) all day long judging by their Insta Story /

Hustle for that number 1 album queen

 

[Pipo]

My only complaint is that Crash sounds like New Shapes but with different lyrics :/

Happy Hardcore remixes WHEN?

Crash segues into New Shapes beautifully! and the spoken word verses are

 

[Pipo]

YUCK is THAT GIRL! also <3 Every Rule.

 

[octophone]

OK, well...straight away, it's better than HIFN and Sucker so we're onto a winner. "Yuck" is poor. Everything else is either ace or sounded better on a second listen. This needs a few more to bed in.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I WANT TO CRASH LISTENING TO CRASH

 

[COB]

Having my first listen RIGHT NOW, and so far...

 

[COB]

You coulda had a BAD GIRL by your SIDE

 

[Iguana]

I WANT TO CRASH LISTENING TO CRASH

You're a gay so presumably you will

 

[COB]

Move Me...

 

[COB]

HOLY SHIT LIGHTNING IS AN INSTANT CHARLI CLASSIC

 

[COB]

I don't have the physical yet but I just saw this online and I'm getting a bit MISTY:

Spoiler: Album dedication

 

[COB]

Every Rule is quite lovely - a bit of a trite comparison I know, but it's a bit Official.

 

[COB]

Yuck was a cute moment, but oh god at USED TO KNOW ME That Robin S sample! September found IN A DITCH!

 

[COB]

Twice is nice () but that outro is something else, the sort of thing PC Charli would really lean into but I'm glad we got a little dip of the toe into it here.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

You're a gay so presumably you will

I'm homo with incidental hetero tendencies

 

[RJN]

I'm homo with incidental hetero tendencies

If I ever drive somewhere safely, I’ll be calling it an incidental Hetero tendency

 

[OutSynk]

It's the fact it's dedicated to "Sophie". Not "SOPHIE". The person, not the producer. Misted me up.

#1 on the Monday mids

 

[RJN]

08 Crash
07 New Shapes
08 Good Ones
06 Constant Repeat
06 Beg for You
10 Move Me
09 Baby
08 Lightning
07 Every rule
10 Yuck

I’m still disappointed in the singles but it’s generally solid. I’ve listened maybe 5 times now, and they were in some of my favorite music listening environments (walking around New York and walking around the airport). I prefer the second half for sure

 

[Cerro de Casa]

It's my favourite ALBAM of hers and I love the SANGLES
But I do wonder what @Halli thinks of the promo so far

 

[RJN]

It might be my favorite Charli album. But I prefer all the mixtapes
