A friend was talking about Charlie XCX and so I decided to dive into one of the artist's albums.

First listen.
Second listen.
Songs in bold are the bonus tracks on the deluxe edition.
3: "Out of My Head" (ft. Tove Lo and ALMA); "Unlock it (Lock it)" (ft. Kim Petras and Jay Park); "Track 10";
2: "Delicious" (ft. Tommy Cash);
1: "Backseat" (ft. Carly Rae Jepsen); "Femmebot" (ft. Dorian Electra and Mykki Blanco); "Porsche" (ft. M0)
0: "Lucky"; "Tears"; "I Got It" (ft. Brooke Candy, CupcakKe and Pabllo Vittar);
Summary:
Overall, I liked the feel of the album (it's called a mixtape, but it's basically an album). I feel like 4.6 out of 5 is a high rating, but within the realm of not over-inflated as some older albums I've rated. So maybe a year ago, this would have been a 5.2. I'm not sure if it's possible to correct the inflation of older albums.*
Overall Rating: 4.6/5
Favorite Song: "Out of My Head"
*Perhaps it's worth revisiting albums I've rated at or above a 5, looking at the overall distribution of ratings across all albums, and adjusting accordingly. Furthermore, I think it would make sense to signal adjustment of ratings - at least with respect to this specific exercise.
