5/10, highly disagree but it is what it is
Dope to see Charli alienating pretentious post-hipsters with this release

This top 2 Charli IMO hot take I'm assuming but this album is super fun
you used to know me now you don’t

i think my initial reaction is one of lowkey disappointment tbh
having really liked the first few singles, i just think too much of the remainder of the album blends into itself. like it almost feels to me like some of the coolest production quirks and big pop hooks were saved for the singles. that's an obvious enough move from an exposure POV but it almost makes the rest seem way less adventurous by and large? that's obviously not to say there isn't other cool stuff here and i immediately think of lightning and used to know me as good examples but yeah. tbh the most damning thing to me is that im not really sure you could call this a 'traditional' big 'pop' record. after good ones and promising that sound, i almost think this falls into an awkward middle ground between big pop sounds and hooks and charli's more recent 'weirder' output and doesn't really scratch the itch of either
that said, im reserving final judgement until i give it a few more spins cos i think this sort of record often reveals its best earworms after a few listens.
Why is this so perfect lmao

Imagine being happy that your artist puts out a bad album just to own it to the hipsters lmfao
smh she did not say that on ig live
i'm gonna listen to this again tomorrow i really haven't had the desire to revisit this or the Rosalia album.
you used to know me now you don’t

I listened again. I really don't have many good thoughts about it at all.
Played a few tracks off HIFN right after and they hit harder than ever before.
currently, Pop 2 > Charli > how i'm feeling now > CRASH
I'd probably take the first 6, swap out Good Ones with Used To Know Me, and leave it at that. Nice lil EP.
Baby is kinda awful to me I don't think I've ever called a Charli song "awful"
I don't like Yuck either which most people seem to be a fan of.
Every Rule is nice lyrically but I can't fully get into it. Sequencing is off too.
IDK CHARLI. YOU STILL MY BABY THO
