Album Rating: 5.0

Oh not that...

Why can't people just be normal

Like the ones having her sign Melodrama or their enemas

She should write a song called "Gay, so annoying"

The girl, so confusing version with lorde is incredible

Album Rating: 3.0

i guess the idea of charli and lorde squashing the beef nobody knew they had until 2 weeks ago really resonates with people cause there’s no way people are enjoying that song for its inherent attributes. chorus is a shitpost and the verses are so clunky and just bad all around

I'm enjoying it for its inherent attributes :]

Don’t agree there colton

Album Rating: 2.5

Albums so weird for me. For every well crafted track (eg girl so confusing), there’s an equally poorly written and hacky pop dud (eg talk talk). For every relatable and interesting song lyrically (eg sympathy is a knife), there’s an equally awful song lyrically (eg rewind). And then the rest is just kinda meh unless you’re into pop hooks and sparkly production

idk i find the lyrics extremely relatable even if i might not be a pop it-girl. literally everyone has/had that sort of relationship with someone in their life no matter if you're on the charli or lorde side of it. that song is like the dream scenario where it all works out.



not to mention the additional context surrounding lorde's career at this point. first time hearing her on any sort of real POP production in 7 years. first actually new material we've heard from her since the universal flop that was solar power. there was legitimate reason to think her peak might've been well behind her but she comes back with this remix featuring some of the best lyrics she ever wrote over cool production we've never heard her on before.



the biggest gripe i remember most people having with solar power (besides just being boring af) was the fake feeling self-help aesthetic of everything. the remix is lorde finally just laying it all out. feels like a return to form for her in so many ways, even if it was just a single verse on a song that isn't even hers.

Colton having a meltdown about people loving a song he doesn't get is so funny



Did you even listen to the lyrics? There was no big "beef" between them and it didn't start 2 weeks ago wtf are you saying, they've known each other for a long time and used to talk about making music together, but lately Charli has been feeling like she gets mixed signals from Lorde so she wrote this song and sent it to her. Lorde explains her mixed signals (Lorde doesn't love fame and being in the spotlight, plus has been dealing with inflammatory body problems in which she wrote about on her blog a couple years ago), but she didn't mean to make Charli feel like she hates her, in fact she idolizes her and didn't know Charli felt that way. On top of that, it's a genius marketing move to write a song about Lorde and then have Lorde sing on the remix, giving the internet what they wanted finally. We get a beautiful, sentimental song about two friends explaining their feelings toward each other and how much they idolize one another, that's it. They could have done it in private, but this way the fans get what they want and it's relatable af. Nothing bad or clunky about it except your weird takes.

"there’s an equally awful song lyrically (eg rewind)"



Why? It's one of the weakest songs on the album (tho not bad at all), but lyrically it's an honest look into Charli dealing with her fame, but not being famous enough to be super successful and questioning if it's even worth it.

Album Rating: 2.5

how was that a meltdown? yall are the ones having a meltdown in response to his messing around as usual

[2] + [3] to everything in those last AlexK/Flagash comments, but especially that Rewind is one of the most important songs on the album lyrically (and one of the best earworms imo). ig its frankness is more pronounced than on other tracks -- most of her other deadpan honesty tracks at least fit comfortably into verse (eg Apple) -- but the way she puts herself across is very much in line with the rest of the record

Album Rating: 2.5

its ok to have upfront lyrics but when its a generic topic such as wanting to go back to how things used to be and has god awful lines like "I'd go back in time to when I wasn't insecure, To when I didn't overanalyse my face shape" its hard to feel a connection. also it is a bad song overall, a very bad song i would say

Album Rating: 5.0

yeah think rewind is also an important track sequentially... flipping the vibe from the mostly party girl first half to the more self-reflective second half (quite literally precedes so i, girl so confusing, apple)



also nice to hear those ariana harmonies from people who aren't ariana every once in a while

Album Rating: 5.0

how is face shape overanalyzing not relatable. do you not age.





rewind rules its like if california girls was good
