I think I'm noticing some interesting gatekeeping among Charli fans that don't want to let this album fully in. Don't want to place it above or at the level of the old, cherished albums. And this was actually my immediate reaction as well. I think it's also a grower like on first couple listens it sort of feels like a 7.5 like "ok its cool but its not as legendary as HIFN or Pop 2. There's nothing on here as good as Track 10." And no, there isn't. Then on subsequent listens you realize 3-4 more songs are bangers then eventually it becomes obvious that this is her best sequenced album. There are minor lulls in HIFN after Energy and before Anthems and near the end of Charli it feels a little all over the place with a less strong identity as the others. This thing picks up and gives you breaks at perfect moments. Never gets boring and I never want to turn it off especially because I know I have that 365 grand finale waiting for me.
The Brat train won't stop. Get with it or get run over.

For me it’s a bunch of up and downs. I love a song, don’t care for the next one and repeat for pretty much the whole album. The highs are high but there’s some mid in there too.

Club Classics, Apple and Something Stupid were all growers to me. Something stupid though I feel is just a nice lil role player on the team offering a breather. Its cute. Then you dive into a 3 headed monster.
Rewind is one of the 2 I think hold it back from being a 10. I've seen others dont like Mean Girls but thats wild to me that thing is unhinged.
Romantic is the one that is truly surprising to see you list out. In contention for top 3 on the album imo and its def one of those songs I'd think of quickly to show someone what Charli can do that nobody else can.
I just can't wait for her Watch the Throne with Lorde next year following Dark Fantasy.
brat is too stripped back for dark fantasy
There are different ways to look at it. I was just looking at the basic idea of coming back to her more experimental roots a little bit like when Kanye went back to rap. But yeah if you are talking about her most sprawling, creative, statement album I agree it's Charli.
