    Though not without its charms, the floundering moments of Crash suggests that Charli XCX may be most comfortable making subversive music.

    Crash is at its best in its subtler moments.

    Overall, CRASH’s crystal clear production and iron-clad writing has all of the force behind it to propel the album into the stratosphere. But instead of putting the pedal to the metal in pursuit of a high camp sound, it stays in the slow lane.
