    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. the Charli XCX's music can be defined as a pseudo rebellious punk-pop. This may work for the unwary young people but for me it's just crappy.

    "I don't wanna go to school , I just wanna break the rules "

    "You said you wanna bang (bang, bang)
    Well
    **** you! Sucker!"

    "Gold coins everywhere
    Dollars up in the air
    It's a billionaire's love affair
    Gold coins out the window"

    "Get your boyfriend's car
    Come and pick me up, oh
    Let's take it for a ride
    What trouble can we find?"

    "Let's get started, pool side of the party
    Rolling Stones on my phone
    Hangin' in yo bedroom, feelin' like we're rock n' roll"

    frankly ???
    This album is the worst thing I heard in years.    … Expand

    Ok, so I understand that "Sucker" is a new ERA for Charli XCX. However, the sound is drastically different from an album she released only a year ago... This review is based on personal taste, (obviously)but my ears just aren't digging the sound of her current ERA....True Romance was plenty dancy and fun without sounding obnoxious like Sucker does. Sorry Boo, but I couldn't really stand toOk, so I understand that "Sucker" is a new ERA for Charli XCX. However, the sound is drastically different from an album she released only a year ago...

Hope to hear better from her in the future because she is really talented.… Expand

    Terrible album and I can't believe that the girl who made it released wonderful True Romance JUST A YEAR BEFORE. Sucker is dumb, childish and I can't choose what I find more embarrassing, lyrics or music. This album is more cheap and cheesy thań Avril Lavigne mixed with early Britney Spears.

    This album is hilarious in the worst possible way. I can't believe this immature pile of debris taken out from some sort of horrible '90s teen movie soundtrack received those glowing reports. Marina and the Diamonds' "Electra Heart", for instance, was panned because of its supposedly superficial lyrics (of which irony few tried to understand), and easy-listening melodies.

    A bad pop album. Not much more than that! Instead of evolving on her second album, she regressed. And regressed a lot... Commercial album, annoyng lyrics/voice.

    Charli XCX is horrible, so much electronic aspects in her songs her voice sounds weak and auto-tuned. She doesn't want to go to school, she wants to get high, raped and break the rules? The only reason people know this talentless chick is cause she gets featured on garbage songs like "Fancy" and "I Love It".

    Sounds boring. Stupid lyrics. These are some aspects about this empty album. The single "Break the Rules" must let Charli XCX ashamed. Nobody deserves to hear those songs.

    Ela mudou muito, ta se exibindo de mais não é a Charli que quer que se foda a industria. Sucker is not good, I wait more for this, I'm sorry Charli, I want you back.

    Once upon a time there was Charli XCX and she used to be cool but now she isn't. She is stupid and her song are dumb. This girl made my child doesn't want go to school now. What should I do? "Sucker" is really weak album, "True Romance" was much better. I think she sold out because she thought "Oh, I am so famous because Fancy". No Charli, you aren't. You can't sing your songs live, youOnce upon a time there was Charli XCX and she used to be cool but now she isn't. She is stupid and her song are dumb.

Girl, you're 22 and you sing about school. Aren't you too old? Sucker sucks.… Expand

    If her songwriting occasionally misfires, churning out stuff that’s indistinguishable from every other indistinguishable song on the Radio 1 playlist--the Rita Ora feature Doing It is a case in point--it’s frequently dead on target.

    For all its instant appeal, this is for the most part an album that eschews pop convention. After years of being synonymous with the prefix ‘ft.’ Charli XCX has found her voice.

    This year’s first great pop record bowls in with a rapturous celebration of the genre's rebellious, trashy potential (and a bottle of champagne and a pocketful of pills to boot).
