Hey everybody - I'm seeing some mixed feedback about this video in the comments and I wanted to take a second and talk about it. First off - I've seen some people say this one was rushed. It wasn't! I started my prepwork back in mid-June, which is a usual amount of lead time for me these days. However, I did make it a point to be a bit leaner with the information I delivered I've been worried for a while that the DDDs have become essentially me reciting Wikipedia (I don't do this to be clear, I just worry that's how it comes across). In other words - videos that are more about mentioning every single piece of work, rather than being actually enjoyable to watch. So with this one, I tried to only speak about an album or song or fact if I truly had something to say or if it impacted the story I was trying to tell. To be clear though, I'm not saying I nailed it! I'm just saying I wanted to course-correct a bit. To all of you who have shared honest feedback about the video, I do appreciate it. And I don't wish for my approach to be seen as a sign of disrespect to Charli or anyone who is a fan. I have broader thoughts as well about the DDD and its future as I get older and more things outside of the channel take up my time (good things, mind you!), but I'll share those down the road. I'm starting prep work on the next DDD this weekend. I've got two non-DDD videos I wanna do before that, so it'll likely be out in earlyish Sept. I'll take all this feedback into account as I work on it. Thanks everyone!!
Coming from a non-fan of Charli here, and a fan of yours for 3 years who has watched literally every video of yours. Pretty much all of your post-steely dan videos have made me want to listen to albums by the artists you cover. In this one, you didn't give a narrative or a reason for me, a non-fan, to care about her or her music, and it didn't feel like you had much to say about any of her music. And it's obviously ok to not like or connect with music, and you've proven that you still can make great videos if you don't like artists. (AJR comes to mind) But I don't know if it SHOULD come to mind because I don't know if you like or dislike her after watching this video because that's how little the amount of information I got from this was. Anyway, those are just my thoughts. You are nevertheless a great TH-camr and I am still probably your biggest fan. I hope these mistakes in production don't get to your head!
Don't be too hard on yourself. These DDD videos require a lot of research, work, and creativity. Your unique ton of voice will always be cherished. The Sufjan DDD video was stellar, and quite difficult to follow-up with the same level. Do more about things you care about, and I'm certain we will love it.
Charli finally getting her flowers after years of hard work and consistent projects not to mention the impact her and Sophie had on hyper pop, she deserves this so much

FINALLY CHARLI HAS A DDD but fr tho, as someone who has been a fan since 2013 when “i love it” came out, im so happy she is getting so much recognition and attention again. while i do miss her hyperpop days, i think brat and crash are amazing albums. also you did beg for you dirty mic, that song is a banger

I'm a crash apologist. When compared to her other works its not the best but when compared to most other pop music coming out at that time, there wasn't really anything like it - and i'm not talking about the singles. constant repeat, crash, lightening, move me, new shapes, all more unique & exciting than 90% of the pop music coming out at that time. the single choices could've been better, and i'm def biased bc that album helped me through a rough patch but i have a feeling crash will still end up having an influence when we look back
My friends who don’t get why I love her, even sat through move me and said “damn. This one’s really good” and I think it has to do with the fact that not a lot of people can publicly relate to Charlis more self destructive and self hatred in her songs. At any rate I’m really sad Charli wants to distance herself from that album because it has so many good and meaningful songs in it too…

Charli's discog is so interesting to me because she's been around since 2010, embodies early 2010s, yet characterizes where pop has gone since. She was virtually indistinguishable from the early 2010s one hit wonders and then casually changed the course of pop with Vroom Vroom. She's spent the past 10 years since catching everyone else up to speed with her vision and brat's reception shows she's irrefutably succeeded.
@@AugustRxwhat’re you talking about? She’s been on the periphery of stardom her whole career. It’s just that around 2015-2016 she began to embrace it and started becoming a star by making her own way. Her career journey is well known so idk what point you think you’re making
He said it's fine, not that it sucks or anything. I do also like Pop 2 , but he made some good points about it being a hit or miss mixtape considering how different some songs are from the other

Man I was so stoked for this because Charli’s my absolute number one but there’s something about this episode that doesn’t quite carry the same thoughtfulness as your other DDDs in terms of humor and depth given to the artist and their life (and Charli’s memeable history is as storied as her body of work so I’m surprised I didn’t even see a signed douche or a whiff (ha ha) of a poppers reference). Also man, I gotta advocate for Pop 2 a little bit here. I think it’s more than a transitionary album in her discography. Even with the experimentation and more concept-forward approach, I think it’s a great testament to how Charli so seamlessly keeps emotion at the center of her songs, not getting lost in the glitch, chaos, and auto tune. (Also more self-titled representation!!!!! lol) Anyway, it’s always a pleasure to see a video from you Mic. I think you’re awesome!!!
yeah i’d say n1a, pop 2 and hifn were really undersold when if you were to ask an angel what they like about charli they’d probably mention these 3. really out there albums, with a lot of hyperpop and experimentation while feeling refined at the same time. and I feel like it’s something brat managed to capture and what makes it sound so special too

This was a great episode though it does feel a bit rushed. I realize how much I appreciate you diving into the artists personal lives between each album. While you did some of that here, it felt a bit surface level. I love your previous DDDs because it feels like we get to know the artists just as much as the person behind the artist. I get wanting to capitalize off brat summer as it is timely and I wanna see you thrive, I just wish you had more time to go deeper on this. Regardless though it was a very enjoyable watch, your videos always brighten my day! Easily some of my favourite content on this platform point blank.
@@RyanStorey1231I mean I think he does deeply care about Charli as an artist- both How I’m Feeling Now and Charli were on his year-end lists in 2019 and 2020. I do agree that the pacing of this video felt a bit rushed
I agree. It was good and fun but a bit surprised there wasn’t more discussion on Sophie’s impact on Charli both while she was alive and after she passed.
Yeah I wanna know who Charli is, I'm not too familiar with her. Ive only heard Crash the album and Brat. Crash was moslty forgettable. But after relistening to brat a second time I like almost all the songs

The tough thing with Charli’s discog is there are fantastic singles that never land on an album so they fly under the DDD radar. “No Angel” is as good a pop song as she’s done but it just quietly dropped on its own in 2018.
I'm surprised you didn't talk more about I Think About It All the Time, because fuuuuuck what a song, what a creative decision, honestly pairing that with So I really inserts some powerful gut punches in the album that fit so perfectly with the "tears in the club" vibe of tracks like Sympathy Is a Knife

As a charli fan, if someone watched this video they'd probably stay far far away from her entire discography. Makes her discography and music seem primarily miserable.

great DDD but i miss your takes on the 2012 mixtapes "Heartbreaks and Earthquakes" and "Super Ultra" :( imo they are overlooked releases in charli's catalogue (especially the first one)
I think you misunderstand the "Crash" concept. Charli wasn't just doing a sellout album and using that as a deflection for criticism. The sellout was the concept of the album. There is no deep seeded hatred or critique of the commercialized music industry behind it, it merely seeks to exist in the context of that parasitic indsutry. She had lots of writers on that album, took every brand deal, made viral TikToks, packed it full of popular samples, focused less on production and more on hooks, did late night show appearances, and just generally did everything to make it as commercial as possible. She didn't abandon her producers but scaled back on her reliance on collaborators. The result is an album that is the most sell out album ever while giving her still 100% of the control. It's a concept album at its core just due to how it was conceived. I also don't enjoy all its tracks, but when you're selling out that's bound to happen. There is no "Brat" without "Crash". It allowed her to make commercial sounds in catchy ways while still not selling her career down the river. And even if I don't enjoy it nearly as much as her more experimental albums, it has to have one of the most genius concept albums ever.
Eh, a sellout record being well thought out and totally committed to the bit doesn’t automatically make the music any better. It’s easily her weakest crop of songs since Sucker and that’s not the fault of the sellout approach, that’s on the songs themselves.

Good video... You and almost everybody underrate "Number One Angel" methinks. I feel somewhat similar to you about Pop 2, but partially because I prefer N1A. Roll With Me? Lipgloss? Total underrated classics. But also, Blame it on You, Drugs... I could honestly list all but two tracks as near classics. That's just my opinion but I put it right below the top 3 (which are the same top 3 you have). Also, Crash, though I put it at 6th out of 8 is pretty rad IMO. And Yuck is great no matter what you and Charli think lol!
@@xboxpenguin8705 The first verse into chorus on Yuck are ingenious and so catchy! Number One Angel has been an addictive relisten ever since I listened to it and Roll with Me is a Charli top 10 track for me, one of her best productions and vocals ughhhh! Pop 2 is just as great but for me not better so I guess I just want N1A to get more respect and listens. As far as Crash I respect Charli's right to reject her own work and obviously the drain on her spirit was so real. But for my own listening pleasure Yuck, Crash, Baby and Used to Know Me totally do it for me as much as agreed upon classics.
i was going to say that i feel like number one angel almost always gets looked over or dismissed in discussions like this. i don’t know that i like it more than pop2, but it’s very good pop music that i find myself returning to a lot (ily2, emotional, and drugs are my stand outs). it makes me a bit sad that it’s the only charli album i haven’t seen get its flowers, because it has so many of the things i make her so great as a musician.

@24:13 My guy, you literally only had to wait a WEEK, and your dreams would’ve come true. There’s a club remix of 365 and Axel F on TH-cam. #CrazyFrogBrat
Yeah, not to pile on, but this does feel a bit rushed. Considering that Charli has a discography of 8 full-length projects + the Vroom Vroom EP, it's a little odd to see this be 26 minutes vs. like 48-minute videos for Pitbull and Maroon 5. Which are videos I loved, don't get me wrong, but I loved it precisely because you took Pitbull/Maroon 5 seriously and gave them fully fleshed-out deep dives when they're artists people don't really take seriously. Which is why now, with an artist as integral to the landscape of modern musical trends as Charli is, I don't think she was really done justice. I would've loved a deeper look in this instance. For example, you kind of just brushed off the "everything is hyperpop now!" bit without, well, explaining what that means and what that sounds like. What makes POP 2 sound so weird? How did it influence the genre, ripple through her collaborators, uplift PC music to new critical heights? And for a first-time viewer, what even is hyperpop, and how did Charli incorporate it into her music? If I only saw this, I wouldn't really know how her sound changed, except that it started with pop and ended with maybe still pop? What makes Brat different from HIFN or Charli? It can't just be "good," it's good for some reason. You still rule, and I will keep watching everything you make of course! Hope this doesn't come across as too much.
Even thought the concept of crash is kind of overshadowed now by the rise of brat, crash as an album is so underappreciated in the pop sphere, it literally is filled with great bangers with great production. It proved charli could do mainstream and do it WELL, specially since people thought she was getting repetitive with her sound and relying too hard on her usual collaborators. Constant repeat being one of my fave charli songs and lightning being very close too. Also that album cover is peak
Yeeeessss, I've been waiting for this DDD ! I first came across Charli in 2014 because of Fancy but it's truly her album Charli that made me a fan. I saw her live during the Crash tour, at a Festival she was playing, and a thunderstorm erupted a couple hours before she came on stage. Thankfully, I stuck around with my friend in the rain and the show went on after. Even if the crowd had shrunk a lot, she gave one hell of a show and I had the best time ! Brat is my album of the year, she has evolved so much and she deserves all of her success !!
Painting your face green and posting it on the internet is so brave. And also Wicked. The Australia is John Green transition was amazing. Love the editing!
Not sure why easyfun is not getting his praise here, a lot of these later big songs are just his thing ft Charli xcx and sold to everyone as a Charli xcx song. Hes so good
Just to rectify : how i'm feeling now has AG Cook and BJ Burton as executive producer, but they aren't the sole producers on the album. It also features production from Dylan Brady, Danny L Harle, Palmistry, Dijon, writing from Jim-E Stack...
You always make your videos SO fun & ya SO cute.. even when painted green haha Charli XCX has been a fave of mine since the beginning but then i fell off once Crash came around and was like "uh gurl what happened?!" It was such a change from "How Im Feelin Now" & her previous work(Altho i LOVE Janet Jackson lol) but sooo happy to see her make her way back around to her authentic self with brat! It is GINORMOUS of a sound through & through! 💚
Charli XCX finally getting a DDD is PERFECTLY TIMED! I’ve been a fan since listening to her since 2021, but only before brat came out did I get serious about getting into her music. Happy I’m finally a full on fan that will be *bumpin that* music that music till the day I die!
Hello Mr. the Snare! I have a been an avid fan of your channel and the DDD series for 4 years now and it's been an absolute joy seeing you grow and evolve. However, I have to admit I have become just a bit disillusioned with the series as of late and I hope to explain why properly. I truly truly do admire and respect both you and this channel so I hope I don't come across as rude or an asshole. If I do, please tell me to kill myself. Lately, I have begun to notice the deep dives are becoming less detailed and thoughtful and I feel as though you might have pulled back on offering your gifted and wonderful expertise on these given subject matters. I don't just mean your musical opinion of an albums quality, although I do think there has been less of that too. One of my favorite DDD was of the Beatles! In fact, it brought me, a hilarious former Beatles hater, to get into them myself following your video and now I own a Yellow Submarine phone case. Not so hilarious now

I was thinking about typing a comment saying "this video feels weird for mic's standards" and then the info dump of extremely current events happened making me realize that is probably rushed. (no Super Ultra mentioning boooooooo)
as a new charli fan that first listens to brat, i'm glad you made this discography dive so i could learn more about her, i kinda know her from fancy and i love it, but that's just the features. So when "BRAT" came around, i thought i give it a spin and holy shit was it worth it. Now my favorite song from her is: "visions". A straight hitting banger. i just love that she brings that electronic energy around, it's just makes my day. charli's music just brings peace and just happy all around.
Not gonna lie, this episode feels rather rushed and surface-level compared to some of your other work. Like, I get the feeling you didn't have much to say about Charli, but were only covering her out of either obligation to a fan request or to cash in on Brat-mania.
@@emilyjane7027In his defence, Charli XCX has been on the periphery of pop since the initial buzz around Vroom Vroom died down, only roaring back to proper relevance now. When it comes to records like Crash or Number One Angel, what is there to say really? Mid pop albums, and like all mid pop albums there are some choice cuts to be found all the same. He gave her kudos for being the artist to make the defining pandemic-era album, which is high praise and is something I would also agree with. However, saying Charli had no hits isn’t exactly true. 1999 was huge if I remember correctly. But again, neither the sellout album, none of the trendy producers, the perfectly timed Lizzo collaboration or rave reviews pushed her properly back into pop’s A-list. A pure pop album aiming for the bleachers debuting at 42 says enough. brat however? Flawless, truly the record of its time. Bops for days and cultural heft? What a combo when it’s in action.
it's really weird seeing the extra exposure charli is getting from Brat having people my age being like "kids these days and their weird music" like Charli's been going strong for awhile. I was 22 when Sucker came out and after hearing I love it and fancy decided to check it out. It's not a groundbreaking album but as someone that grew up on pop punk I appreciated the sorta vaguely punky pop rock of that album and at 22 I really don't think I was actually "too old" for that album. I will say I was aware of and intrigued by PC Music pretty early on, mostly actually thanks to Mitch Grassi of Pentatonix who was a VERY early SOPHIE devotee, he absolutely loved her, so when vroom vroom came out that really solidified charli as someone to watch so I did, and I always thought Boys in particular was a decent hit as well as some of the stuff from Charli. Like it seems pretty normal to be a 30 something Charli fan to me but I guess I overestimated how many people had heard of her before BRAT, and underestimated how big BRAT has been and how much it's exposed her to knew people.
she's been my favorite artist ever since she released Nuclear Season's MV in 2012. Haven't faltered as an angel and it makes me so happy to see her succeed like this now. 💚
Hmmm… I feel like you just wanted to get to HIFN and Brat as fast as possible. I love your videos but this one really missed the mark on what Charli is really all about… Also Pop 2 is THE hyperpop bible. Saying it was just experimental and not really that good is kind of diminishing the effect of the albums afterwards.
@Thisisntkiki he did not do Charli's discog justice in this video, and the ambivalence toward Pop2 is evidence of that. he talked about all albums except for HIFN and Brat like he didnt gaf--"its okay i rlly only like two songs wtv" like?? no he doesnt have to dickride her but he is not selling anybody on Charli or admiring the steps it took for her to get to Brat. which without Pop2 would not have been possible.
@@ThisisntkikiI mean… in previous dives, he always mentions albums he didn’t like or care for but he always discussed the importance of them in the artist’s lives. That’s what I’m trying to point out here. Especially when the album didn’t just have an impact on Charli, but in the whole Hyperpop scene. Dorian Electra became inspired, AJ Cook became her creative producer, PC music artists rose in popularity, etc., the industry as a whole became more experimental with autotune because of this album. It’s not me being mean to your TH-camr, it’s just calling out that this vid feels different than the others.
I’m a huge fan of Charli and your channel but this DDD was a disappointment. I have to echo the other comments saying this felt rushed to capitalize on the Brat hype. Disregarding Pop 2 is wild to me given how much of its DNA is present in How I’m Feeling Now and Brat-albums which you (rightfully) wax lyrical. If I wasn’t already a fan I’m not sure this video would motivate me to dive into her catalogue.
she was literally one of the artists I listened too my whole childhood to now being an adult. I think in most instances like this I forget how much artists like her are overlooked since in my bubble they are already so influential. I am glad she gets the recognition she deserves. what a queen. I hope Marina gets that too!!
Feels like he rushed it out to capitalise on the Brat hype. There's a whole lot of stuff that he either glossed over or just didn't bother mentioning at all
Gotta admit prior to Brat really didn’t listen to her at all since 2014. I Loved Sucker! Once I heard the new sound on Vroom I backed away a bit. The break the rules performance on snl that year was like the charli I expected going forward that was like a indie dance pop band. but I think I need to catch up on some things with her. Thanks for the reintroduction MtS!
Not only do I agree that the album cover for 'brat' is great, but I have a feeling that it'll most likely go down as one of the most iconic album covers of the decade. It may even join the ranks of Dark Side of the Moon and Abbey Road of albums that kids 30 years from now will be wearing on their shirts without even having heard a single song from it.
This "deep" dd felt shallower than a pool honestly and something you released bc of Brat. Not caring about 14 and not even mentioning her earlier mixtapes should be a criminal offense tbh. Not mentioning her voice acting, and specially not mentioning her other (very) important collaborators. It wasn't just Ariel Rechstaid and AG Cook, but ok whatever.
all of her music is so good whether if it’s any of her electronic or experimental music or the punk album that is sucker. i’m so glad she’s finally getting the insane recognition that she’s deserved
I haven’t heard from Charlie since 2014, musically at least. I’m a huge dance music fan, so her music just hasn’t appealed to me. I saw her boiler room set and was sooooo confused. Now, I’m obsessed.
Hey everybody - I'm seeing some mixed feedback about this video in the comments and I wanted to take a second and talk about it.
First off - I've seen some people say this one was rushed. It wasn't! I started my prepwork back in mid-June, which is a usual amount of lead time for me these days. However, I did make it a point to be a bit leaner with the information I delivered I've been worried for a while that the DDDs have become essentially me reciting Wikipedia (I don't do this to be clear, I just worry that's how it comes across). In other words - videos that are more about mentioning every single piece of work, rather than being actually enjoyable to watch.
So with this one, I tried to only speak about an album or song or fact if I truly had something to say or if it impacted the story I was trying to tell. To be clear though, I'm not saying I nailed it! I'm just saying I wanted to course-correct a bit.
To all of you who have shared honest feedback about the video, I do appreciate it. And I don't wish for my approach to be seen as a sign of disrespect to Charli or anyone who is a fan.
I have broader thoughts as well about the DDD and its future as I get older and more things outside of the channel take up my time (good things, mind you!), but I'll share those down the road.
I'm starting prep work on the next DDD this weekend. I've got two non-DDD videos I wanna do before that, so it'll likely be out in earlyish Sept. I'll take all this feedback into account as I work on it. Thanks everyone!!
Coming from a non-fan of Charli here, and a fan of yours for 3 years who has watched literally every video of yours. Pretty much all of your post-steely dan videos have made me want to listen to albums by the artists you cover. In this one, you didn't give a narrative or a reason for me, a non-fan, to care about her or her music, and it didn't feel like you had much to say about any of her music. And it's obviously ok to not like or connect with music, and you've proven that you still can make great videos if you don't like artists. (AJR comes to mind) But I don't know if it SHOULD come to mind because I don't know if you like or dislike her after watching this video because that's how little the amount of information I got from this was. Anyway, those are just my thoughts. You are nevertheless a great TH-camr and I am still probably your biggest fan. I hope these mistakes in production don't get to your head!
I hope Bruno Mars is in the cards for a DDD 🙏
I thought you absolutely nailed it ma guy
Don't be too hard on yourself. These DDD videos require a lot of research, work, and creativity. Your unique ton of voice will always be cherished. The Sufjan DDD video was stellar, and quite difficult to follow-up with the same level. Do more about things you care about, and I'm certain we will love it.
I really liked the video!

FINALLY CHARLI HAS A DDD
but fr tho, as someone who has been a fan since 2013 when “i love it” came out, im so happy she is getting so much recognition and attention again. while i do miss her hyperpop days, i think brat and crash are amazing albums.
also you did beg for you dirty mic, that song is a banger
I honestly feel like Brat is what her self titled album is trying to achieve: trying to balance her mainstream and hyperpop music
brat is hyperpop
Yayyyyy fellow veteran Angel. Me too lmao I’m so glad she’s getting more attention.
@@dadgbe4834 i’d say it’s more club pop/electro pop tbh 😭😭

I'm a crash apologist. When compared to her other works its not the best but when compared to most other pop music coming out at that time, there wasn't really anything like it - and i'm not talking about the singles. constant repeat, crash, lightening, move me, new shapes, all more unique & exciting than 90% of the pop music coming out at that time. the single choices could've been better, and i'm def biased bc that album helped me through a rough patch but i have a feeling crash will still end up having an influence when we look back
constant repeat is soooo good and i’m a sucker for every rule
Lightning and Constant Repeat deserves better
exactly my thoughts
My friends who don’t get why I love her, even sat through move me and said “damn. This one’s really good” and I think it has to do with the fact that not a lot of people can publicly relate to Charlis more self destructive and self hatred in her songs. At any rate I’m really sad Charli wants to distance herself from that album because it has so many good and meaningful songs in it too…
The timing for this episode couldn’t have been better

Charli's discog is so interesting to me because she's been around since 2010, embodies early 2010s, yet characterizes where pop has gone since. She was virtually indistinguishable from the early 2010s one hit wonders and then casually changed the course of pop with Vroom Vroom. She's spent the past 10 years since catching everyone else up to speed with her vision and brat's reception shows she's irrefutably succeeded.
She's been the standard and forward thinking for more than 10 years it's so crazy
Gay ppl stay winning fr, even Michael Thee Snare is talking about Charli
stoooooop LOL
She's not exactly the indie artist the gays want her to be
@@AugustRxwhat’re you talking about? She’s been on the periphery of stardom her whole career. It’s just that around 2015-2016 she began to embrace it and started becoming a star by making her own way. Her career journey is well known so idk what point you think you’re making

Man I was so stoked for this because Charli’s my absolute number one but there’s something about this episode that doesn’t quite carry the same thoughtfulness as your other DDDs in terms of humor and depth given to the artist and their life (and Charli’s memeable history is as storied as her body of work so I’m surprised I didn’t even see a signed douche or a whiff (ha ha) of a poppers reference).
Also man, I gotta advocate for Pop 2 a little bit here. I think it’s more than a transitionary album in her discography. Even with the experimentation and more concept-forward approach, I think it’s a great testament to how Charli so seamlessly keeps emotion at the center of her songs, not getting lost in the glitch, chaos, and auto tune. (Also more self-titled representation!!!!! lol)
Anyway, it’s always a pleasure to see a video from you Mic. I think you’re awesome!!!
yeah i’d say n1a, pop 2 and hifn were really undersold when if you were to ask an angel what they like about charli they’d probably mention these 3. really out there albums, with a lot of hyperpop and experimentation while feeling refined at the same time. and I feel like it’s something brat managed to capture and what makes it sound so special too

This was a great episode though it does feel a bit rushed. I realize how much I appreciate you diving into the artists personal lives between each album. While you did some of that here, it felt a bit surface level. I love your previous DDDs because it feels like we get to know the artists just as much as the person behind the artist. I get wanting to capitalize off brat summer as it is timely and I wanna see you thrive, I just wish you had more time to go deeper on this. Regardless though it was a very enjoyable watch, your videos always brighten my day! Easily some of my favourite content on this platform point blank.
I get the feeling that he did this episode more out of obligation than genuine interest in covering the artist.
@@RyanStorey1231I mean I think he does deeply care about Charli as an artist- both How I’m Feeling Now and Charli were on his year-end lists in 2019 and 2020. I do agree that the pacing of this video felt a bit rushed
I agree. It was good and fun but a bit surprised there wasn’t more discussion on Sophie’s impact on Charli both while she was alive and after she passed.
Yeah I wanna know who Charli is, I'm not too familiar with her. Ive only heard Crash the album and Brat. Crash was moslty forgettable. But after relistening to brat a second time I like almost all the songs

The tough thing with Charli’s discog is there are fantastic singles that never land on an album so they fly under the DDD radar. “No Angel” is as good a pop song as she’s done but it just quietly dropped on its own in 2018.

great DDD but i miss your takes on the 2012 mixtapes "Heartbreaks and Earthquakes" and "Super Ultra" :(
imo they are overlooked releases in charli's catalogue (especially the first one)
I think you misunderstand the "Crash" concept. Charli wasn't just doing a sellout album and using that as a deflection for criticism. The sellout was the concept of the album. There is no deep seeded hatred or critique of the commercialized music industry behind it, it merely seeks to exist in the context of that parasitic indsutry. She had lots of writers on that album, took every brand deal, made viral TikToks, packed it full of popular samples, focused less on production and more on hooks, did late night show appearances, and just generally did everything to make it as commercial as possible. She didn't abandon her producers but scaled back on her reliance on collaborators. The result is an album that is the most sell out album ever while giving her still 100% of the control. It's a concept album at its core just due to how it was conceived. I also don't enjoy all its tracks, but when you're selling out that's bound to happen. There is no "Brat" without "Crash". It allowed her to make commercial sounds in catchy ways while still not selling her career down the river. And even if I don't enjoy it nearly as much as her more experimental albums, it has to have one of the most genius concept albums ever.
period!
Eh, a sellout record being well thought out and totally committed to the bit doesn’t automatically make the music any better. It’s easily her weakest crop of songs since Sucker and that’s not the fault of the sellout approach, that’s on the songs themselves.

Good video... You and almost everybody underrate "Number One Angel" methinks. I feel somewhat similar to you about Pop 2, but partially because I prefer N1A. Roll With Me? Lipgloss? Total underrated classics. But also, Blame it on You, Drugs... I could honestly list all but two tracks as near classics. That's just my opinion but I put it right below the top 3 (which are the same top 3 you have). Also, Crash, though I put it at 6th out of 8 is pretty rad IMO. And Yuck is great no matter what you and Charli think lol!
I agree, i’m shocked he gave Number One Angel and Pop 2 so little time, also happy to see love for Yuck, it’s just a fun track you know?
@@xboxpenguin8705 The first verse into chorus on Yuck are ingenious and so catchy! Number One Angel has been an addictive relisten ever since I listened to it and Roll with Me is a Charli top 10 track for me, one of her best productions and vocals ughhhh! Pop 2 is just as great but for me not better so I guess I just want N1A to get more respect and listens. As far as Crash I respect Charli's right to reject her own work and obviously the drain on her spirit was so real. But for my own listening pleasure Yuck, Crash, Baby and Used to Know Me totally do it for me as much as agreed upon classics.
i was going to say that i feel like number one angel almost always gets looked over or dismissed in discussions like this. i don’t know that i like it more than pop2, but it’s very good pop music that i find myself returning to a lot (ily2, emotional, and drugs are my stand outs). it makes me a bit sad that it’s the only charli album i haven’t seen get its flowers, because it has so many of the things i make her so great as a musician.

Yeah, not to pile on, but this does feel a bit rushed. Considering that Charli has a discography of 8 full-length projects + the Vroom Vroom EP, it's a little odd to see this be 26 minutes vs. like 48-minute videos for Pitbull and Maroon 5. Which are videos I loved, don't get me wrong, but I loved it precisely because you took Pitbull/Maroon 5 seriously and gave them fully fleshed-out deep dives when they're artists people don't really take seriously. Which is why now, with an artist as integral to the landscape of modern musical trends as Charli is, I don't think she was really done justice.
I would've loved a deeper look in this instance. For example, you kind of just brushed off the "everything is hyperpop now!" bit without, well, explaining what that means and what that sounds like. What makes POP 2 sound so weird? How did it influence the genre, ripple through her collaborators, uplift PC music to new critical heights? And for a first-time viewer, what even is hyperpop, and how did Charli incorporate it into her music? If I only saw this, I wouldn't really know how her sound changed, except that it started with pop and ended with maybe still pop? What makes Brat different from HIFN or Charli? It can't just be "good," it's good for some reason.
You still rule, and I will keep watching everything you make of course! Hope this doesn't come across as too much.
very well said
That’s the thing. He’s just livin that life 💚🔐🤍
My theory that Michael D. Snare is actually Jim Carrey in The Mask is finally proven. I always knew I was right
24:16 please make this rhythm heaven edit in full I need that in my life
I still get goosebumps thinking about the first time i heard Anthems.
Even thought the concept of crash is kind of overshadowed now by the rise of brat, crash as an album is so underappreciated in the pop sphere, it literally is filled with great bangers with great production. It proved charli could do mainstream and do it WELL, specially since people thought she was getting repetitive with her sound and relying too hard on her usual collaborators. Constant repeat being one of my fave charli songs and lightning being very close too. Also that album cover is peak
Yeeeessss, I've been waiting for this DDD ! I first came across Charli in 2014 because of Fancy but it's truly her album Charli that made me a fan. I saw her live during the Crash tour, at a Festival she was playing, and a thunderstorm erupted a couple hours before she came on stage. Thankfully, I stuck around with my friend in the rain and the show went on after. Even if the crowd had shrunk a lot, she gave one hell of a show and I had the best time ! Brat is my album of the year, she has evolved so much and she deserves all of her success !!
cooked w the rosalia comment
Painting your face green and posting it on the internet is so brave. And also Wicked.
The Australia is John Green transition was amazing. Love the editing!
Not sure why easyfun is not getting his praise here, a lot of these later big songs are just his thing ft Charli xcx and sold to everyone as a Charli xcx song. Hes so good
Just to rectify : how i'm feeling now has AG Cook and BJ Burton as executive producer, but they aren't the sole producers on the album. It also features production from Dylan Brady, Danny L Harle, Palmistry, Dijon, writing from Jim-E Stack...
imagine calling pop 2 an uneven album with mid songs, how on the wrong side of history do you have to be?
You always make your videos SO fun & ya SO cute.. even when painted green haha Charli XCX has been a fave of mine since the beginning but then i fell off once Crash came around and was like "uh gurl what happened?!" It was such a change from "How Im Feelin Now" & her previous work(Altho i LOVE Janet Jackson lol) but sooo happy to see her make her way back around to her authentic self with brat! It is GINORMOUS of a sound through & through! 💚
When you put Drop That Kitty in here, I knew you was a real one!!!
😂😂😂
Charli XCX finally getting a DDD is PERFECTLY TIMED! I’ve been a fan since listening to her since 2021, but only before brat came out did I get serious about getting into her music. Happy I’m finally a full on fan that will be *bumpin that* music that music till the day I die!
you gotta do a deep discog dive on Tinashe after this😭
PLEASE DO!!!!
And he better include the mixtapes too those should not go unnoticed
Hello Mr. the Snare! I have a been an avid fan of your channel and the DDD series for 4 years now and it's been an absolute joy seeing you grow and evolve. However, I have to admit I have become just a bit disillusioned with the series as of late and I hope to explain why properly. I truly truly do admire and respect both you and this channel so I hope I don't come across as rude or an asshole. If I do, please tell me to kill myself. Lately, I have begun to notice the deep dives are becoming less detailed and thoughtful and I feel as though you might have pulled back on offering your gifted and wonderful expertise on these given subject matters. I don't just mean your musical opinion of an albums quality, although I do think there has been less of that too. One of my favorite DDD was of the Beatles! In fact, it brought me, a hilarious former Beatles hater, to get into them myself following your video and now I own a Yellow Submarine phone case. Not so hilarious now
Jesus Christ heals all wounds. Please pray and give your life to Jesus Christ and repent. Jesus Christ is kind, loving, forgiving, merciful, and understanding. You don’t have to if you don’t want to it’s your choice. If you do please pray he will always be open to hear your prayer. Luke 15:7 “I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.” May God bless God loves and I love you. NEVER EVER forget you are NEVER alone
I would go back to 2014 in a heartbeat.
Queens of the stoneage PLEASEEEEE
please do Janet Jackson or Kylie Minogue!
Hearing Trophy in NFS Unbound was crazy the first time. Sets the vibe for races perfectly.
Mic be bumbin that
Your Elphaba costume is coming together
8:31 I hate you for this 😭😭😭
And now the guess remix dropped. Mic might be excited
I was thinking about typing a comment saying "this video feels weird for mic's standards" and then the info dump of extremely current events happened making me realize that is probably rushed. (no Super Ultra mentioning boooooooo)
Hey, sustained growth means you sometimes gotta hit the wave at its peaks whether you’re ready or not.
22:31 Missed opportunity to call that the Brat Mobile
Not caring about Number One Angel is homophobic btw
bumpin' that bumpin' that bumpin' that bumpin' that
Can't believe he was so off with the prediction.
Right, he wasn't even close lmap
as a new charli fan that first listens to brat, i'm glad you made this discography dive so i could learn more about her, i kinda know her from fancy and i love it, but that's just the features. So when "BRAT" came around, i thought i give it a spin and holy shit was it worth it. Now my favorite song from her is: "visions". A straight hitting banger. i just love that she brings that electronic energy around, it's just makes my day. charli's music just brings peace and just happy all around.
2:12 it was in the coca cola commercial man, that thing was everywhere
i have been waiting for this ddd for so long that now i dont know who to root for thank u mr snare
Not gonna lie, this episode feels rather rushed and surface-level compared to some of your other work. Like, I get the feeling you didn't have much to say about Charli, but were only covering her out of either obligation to a fan request or to cash in on Brat-mania.
Definitely agree
Agreed, it felt like he wasn't affording Charli the same deep listening/analysis he usually does.
@@emilyjane7027In his defence, Charli XCX has been on the periphery of pop since the initial buzz around Vroom Vroom died down, only roaring back to proper relevance now. When it comes to records like Crash or Number One Angel, what is there to say really? Mid pop albums, and like all mid pop albums there are some choice cuts to be found all the same. He gave her kudos for being the artist to make the defining pandemic-era album, which is high praise and is something I would also agree with.
However, saying Charli had no hits isn’t exactly true. 1999 was huge if I remember correctly. But again, neither the sellout album, none of the trendy producers, the perfectly timed Lizzo collaboration or rave reviews pushed her properly back into pop’s A-list. A pure pop album aiming for the bleachers debuting at 42 says enough. brat however? Flawless, truly the record of its time. Bops for days and cultural heft? What a combo when it’s in action.
hard agree. the section on crash felt especially sloppy. how many times is he going to reuse the same quote on satire?
it's really weird seeing the extra exposure charli is getting from Brat having people my age being like "kids these days and their weird music" like Charli's been going strong for awhile. I was 22 when Sucker came out and after hearing I love it and fancy decided to check it out. It's not a groundbreaking album but as someone that grew up on pop punk I appreciated the sorta vaguely punky pop rock of that album and at 22 I really don't think I was actually "too old" for that album. I will say I was aware of and intrigued by PC Music pretty early on, mostly actually thanks to Mitch Grassi of Pentatonix who was a VERY early SOPHIE devotee, he absolutely loved her, so when vroom vroom came out that really solidified charli as someone to watch so I did, and I always thought Boys in particular was a decent hit as well as some of the stuff from Charli. Like it seems pretty normal to be a 30 something Charli fan to me but I guess I overestimated how many people had heard of her before BRAT, and underestimated how big BRAT has been and how much it's exposed her to knew people.
BEST NOTIFICATION OF MY LIFEEEE YOURE SO JULIA MIC
she's been my favorite artist ever since she released Nuclear Season's MV in 2012. Haven't faltered as an angel and it makes me so happy to see her succeed like this now. 💚
Hmmm… I feel like you just wanted to get to HIFN and Brat as fast as possible. I love your videos but this one really missed the mark on what Charli is really all about… Also Pop 2 is THE hyperpop bible. Saying it was just experimental and not really that good is kind of diminishing the effect of the albums afterwards.
You're upset that he doesn't have your exact opinion. Touch some brat green grass.
@Thisisntkiki he did not do Charli's discog justice in this video, and the ambivalence toward Pop2 is evidence of that. he talked about all albums except for HIFN and Brat like he didnt gaf--"its okay i rlly only like two songs wtv" like?? no he doesnt have to dickride her but he is not selling anybody on Charli or admiring the steps it took for her to get to Brat. which without Pop2 would not have been possible.
@@ThisisntkikiI mean… in previous dives, he always mentions albums he didn’t like or care for but he always discussed the importance of them in the artist’s lives. That’s what I’m trying to point out here. Especially when the album didn’t just have an impact on Charli, but in the whole Hyperpop scene. Dorian Electra became inspired, AJ Cook became her creative producer, PC music artists rose in popularity, etc., the industry as a whole became more experimental with autotune because of this album. It’s not me being mean to your TH-camr, it’s just calling out that this vid feels different than the others.
I actually just finished her discography myself, great timing!
I’m a huge fan of Charli and your channel but this DDD was a disappointment. I have to echo the other comments saying this felt rushed to capitalize on the Brat hype. Disregarding Pop 2 is wild to me given how much of its DNA is present in How I’m Feeling Now and Brat-albums which you (rightfully) wax lyrical. If I wasn’t already a fan I’m not sure this video would motivate me to dive into her catalogue.
she was literally one of the artists I listened too my whole childhood to now being an adult. I think in most instances like this I forget how much artists like her are overlooked since in my bubble they are already so influential. I am glad she gets the recognition she deserves. what a queen. I hope Marina gets that too!!
Hey Mic! Brat summer is upon us
I WAS WAITINGGGG FOR THIS ONE OH MY GOD !!!!!!! i smiled so hard when i saw this video 😭😭
not you skipping her 2012 mixtapes :/
i never knew i needed this. thank u mic. please do an abba deep dive
this ddd feels weird and I can't put my finger on why
Feels like he rushed it out to capitalise on the Brat hype. There's a whole lot of stuff that he either glossed over or just didn't bother mentioning at all
I would adore a porter Robinson DDD after smile as come out, amazing vid as always! 💜
im telling my kids this is the holy bible
Gotta admit prior to Brat really didn’t listen to her at all since 2014. I Loved Sucker! Once I heard the new sound on Vroom I backed away a bit. The break the rules performance on snl that year was like the charli I expected going forward that was like a indie dance pop band. but I think I need to catch up on some things with her. Thanks for the reintroduction MtS!
Not only do I agree that the album cover for 'brat' is great, but I have a feeling that it'll most likely go down as one of the most iconic album covers of the decade. It may even join the ranks of Dark Side of the Moon and Abbey Road of albums that kids 30 years from now will be wearing on their shirts without even having heard a single song from it.
Drop That Kitty makes me instantly act up👅
It’s a fun throwback to throw your back to
The fuck are you talking about, Yuck is a banger.
True Romance appreciation THANK YOU
i love charli xcx ❤❤❤
number 1 angel and pop 2 were incredible
This "deep" dd felt shallower than a pool honestly and something you released bc of Brat. Not caring about 14 and not even mentioning her earlier mixtapes should be a criminal offense tbh. Not mentioning her voice acting, and specially not mentioning her other (very) important collaborators. It wasn't just Ariel Rechstaid and AG Cook, but ok whatever.
Bruh, I get the criticism, but you don’t have to be so mean and flippant about it.
@@Lwhale.3797 I'm sorry but the video is bad and I have a right to say it
Holy shit touch grass bro 😂
This comment weird af
@@nycyabber7103 ohhh sorry if online criticism towards someone else scares you lol
@@victoralonso2787 not scared. You’re just giving weird and negative aura 🤷♀️
all of her music is so good whether if it’s any of her electronic or experimental music or the punk album that is sucker. i’m so glad she’s finally getting the insane recognition that she’s deserved
YOU DIDN'T TALK ABOUT THE MIXTAPES?! WTH?????
I haven’t heard from Charlie since 2014, musically at least. I’m a huge dance music fan, so her music just hasn’t appealed to me. I saw her boiler room set and was sooooo confused. Now, I’m obsessed.
Is that the mask
OMFG no lie i was wondering if you were gonna do a charli discography since it’s brat summer!!!! We are truely blessed!!!
