DaddyATRL 3,878 Posted July 7, 2019 I love N1A and Pop 2 equally. Pop 2 just hit me in a different way at a different point in my life (my 2017 was wild lmfao) Both excellent. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

white gold 4,242 Posted July 7, 2019 if half the album is trash and half the album is good it might as well be 2 separate albums. its not listener-friendly, and not just because its experimental. its bc it has some glaring weak points 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like, I don't make the rules. Second, can you admit you just don't like it? Like, it's not a crime. But don't hide behind the music not being listener-friendly cause it definitely is. The first time somebody used autotune to willingly alter one's voice was in 1998, 19 years before Pop 2. Instrumental drops have been used by euro dance music ever since the 90s an dubstep (not saying she uses dubstep, but it's a kind of instrumental drop) was all the rage a few years ago. I guess there are bits when she takes it a bit further from the premises but again she's still within the realm of pop music. She's still crying about her boyfriend with auto-tuned flutes for god's sake. And it's beautiful 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N1A is overall a better listening experience IMO and that is why its my fav. also she looks prettier and tanner on the cover. regardless, I like both albums Ok so first of all you lost any right over complaining about non-listener-friendly music the moment you stepped into the Charli XCX fandom.

white gold 4,242 Posted July 7, 2019 what are the non-listener-friendly parts then? mainly the fact that the features are ALL over the place. no one is going to enjoy that many features on a first listen-thru. it's an album that a listener needs to listen to multiple times to really understand. and even once you "get" it, i'm almost never in the right mood to want to listen to CRJ, Alma, Tove Lo, Jay, Kim, Caroline, Mykki, and Tommy Trash all in the same sitting. it just doesnt work 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like, it's an inherent vice. I guess the album doesn't really make for a full immersion because it constantly switches between sad and upbeat songs, but it's not like N1A doesn't either: RWM, Emotional and ILY2 are kind of a rollercoaster too. This, again, has nothing to do with cohesion or listenability (is that even a word... queen of inventing english, french can't relate). Like, these are all things Charli willingly picked, in her very rare sober moments. You can't dislike them while appreciating the artistic vision that went behind it, and Pop 2 is IMO all about artistic vision. It's all about breaking free from what pop music was and having fun. edit: You can't "like" the album (even tho you say half of it is trash) while disliking its very nature 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
