close but im thinking brat

without a doubt her 2 best albums

Neck and neck tbh

Ran it back last night and I have to agree

fax. I dont see praise for brat and im a charli fan

pop 2, charli and brat are all better than hifl now tbh

cook.

No

Visions dolo’s that whole album

Crash is better than both

how im feeling now is outstanding & i think its better because its a covid record

really captures that mood as intended

context >>>>>>>

Used to think so too but Paradise took it's spot

That’s just how you feel right now

that’s all there ever is

they both suck. Crash is the one.

Brat is great at what it does but How I'm Feeling Now is an era defining album, not only for how it utilized that wild hyperpop production but also for how it captured the feeling of the pandemic. Instant classic. Brat slaps and it's the album of the moment but it isn't emotionally resonant like that.

yeah i mean... yeah

bad opinion OP

b**** please, hifn wasn't as focused as this and definitely not thematically and lyrically.

no agrees with this.

listen everything about hifn being top tier is the entire situation surrounding the album and how it was really (interactive but remove that and it becomes another charli mixtape with bangers,
where as brat really shines with the actual music, from the lyrics, to the production(from the moments where it's peeled back and when rammed up) to what she references in the music, to the production references and combos. This album is a really well curated effort that really draws from so much inspiration, it really does feel like a career defining pop album especially for the kind of pop star that charli is and a pop album that the many like her before could never achieve.

You articulated how I feel abt it perfectly

'brat' contains (a bit) more career highlights, though.

How I'm Feeling Now was a necessary step on the way to Brat. I think both successfully met a moment both in her career and in pop culturally at the time (as did the mixtapes tbh) but Brat in particular feels special. I really need to revisit HIFN though, this thread does make it seem like a worthy comparison. Either way, Charli has to be in the same convo as Carly and Caroline in the modern artpop pantheon with both in her bag.
