I think its because the albums that come before and after it (pop 2/n1a and how i'm feeling now) are just so good and critically acclaimed by fans that it is overshadowed. Also, the branding and promotion for the album were kinda meh and personally I think the only good thing to come out of it was the Sky Ferreira (pulled fresh out of retirement) collab on Cross You Out.

1999 and Blame It on Your Love stick out like a sore thumb and make the entire album feel disjointed - that’s my biggest issue.

It took 3 years to make and went through many different soundscapes. I think people were unsatisfied with how “collage” centric the record is. I reallly think they missed a big opportunity not naming the record NEXT LEVEL Charli

I love the songs on that album but my main problem with it is that it feels like a weird mix of label-pleasing and doing the cling clang krr krr thing. It feels more like a playlist than an album. And it came right after N1A/Pop 2/the XCX World leaks so the bar was set really high.

this.

 

if she named the record NEXT LEVEL CHARLI and ditched the label pleasing songs like 1999 & Blame It On Your Cock, it would be pretty solid

It was also such a slap in the face to dig up Blame It On Your Love as the leaked demo she chose to put on the album (not even mentioning that awful feature) while Bounce was left to rot without even the decency of getting a droplet release.

as a hardcore angel its Charli was my magnus opus before Brat came out! 

and i think pop 2 is easier to get into than Charli, charli is way more diverse while Pop 2 is much more cohesive

its in that diversity that i lover about Charli tho! 

the album roll out was a blast too, constant remixes and single out every week!

i blame Nakata tired ass for this

 (the label would have approved or been more willing to release the song with a Kyary feature since they did NOT like Bounce or anything charli was doing i guess?)

 

it prolly had to do with language barrier but honestly from the outside it seem he doesnt play nice with anyone else (locking Perfume to himself and shutting them down when they showed interests in getting more involve with the music (writing)

at least in recent years/interviews i think he is more open with them but still

 

ANYWAYS yes last i heard from AG Cook (he mentioned it somewhere) Nakata never sent over Kyary's vocal files.

“Charli” was peak vibes when it came out.

 

It was coming right out of the mixtape era, it was XCX 3, but not XCX World (but that was ok…). The album was finally out.

 

It was pre-pandemic and I still had a social life… :toofunny:  and I remember after a particularly fun night out, I listened to Shake It and I was like “this song sonically literally sounds like my night last weekend” :eartha:

 

It was truly a wild time. :defeated: :defeated:
