I definitely wouldn't call "XO" awful. It's odd because, despite its rebelliously distinct pop sound against the record's otherwise dark and brash tone (sonically + lyrically), it somehow still ends up being overpowered. It's meant to be instantaneous, but it's actually one of the least bit on the album.
I just hear everyone around saying how the song makes them feel some type of way. I'm like, "k that's cute, but i'm awaiting the punch; the 'oomph'." It never comes. Where's the selling point? There's very little worth noting about it. I guess I wouldn't be dwelling on it so much if it wasn't a single, honestly, especially one with potential to hit big. Perhaps it's one of those songs you have to hear played incessantly on the radio before it ever registers?
