Is there a way to block this putz so don't have the temptation to watch his shit takes? I seriously can't figure out how to get him off my feed permanently.

[@aaronaustin4019]

@@oaktowndimond668totally agree. As someone who can’t stand bmth or pretty much any of the generic octane metalcore bands, this album is not that. It is extremely unique and you can clearly hear poppy’s influence all over this album. I liked the song, but was worried when new way out dropped that it might end up being generic metalcore, but clearly poppy and stevis pushed Jordan to be way more creative than he probably would’ve been otherwise. My only gripe is that her drummer Ralph is absolutely amazing and he should have been utilized on the full album. The programmed drums are the only thing that bummed me out a bit. But still it’s my album of the year and may end up one of my all time favorites at this rate. Can’t stop listening to it. It’s so cohesive yet ventures down so many rabbit holes in a way that is still fresh every time I relisten.

I’m happy that you did review this album because I think it’s a really fun and solid album with a lot of hard work put in by everyone but it’s kind of weird that you never give credit to Poppy as an artist. She’s put out a lot of music and it’s all varied. She has always done whatever she wants and to discredit her just to say, “she’s copying this band, this is how she copied this” isn’t really fair. Everyone makes references when making music. This isn’t her first attempt at heavy music. She was nominated and performed at the Grammys in 2021 for best metal performance

I think due to Poppy coming from pop music at first, people are afraid to accept her. Like you don’t have to like her, but she made that transition to heavier music or experimental music a lonnng time ago, so my only conclusion is people don’t want to accept her. One thing to not like her music, that’s fine, but please people give her credit. But it’s just how things are sadly.

He probably means because of Linkin Park's fanbase including literally everyone and their parents. Musically, Poppy does positively crush LP at this point.

[@konorcollins3663]

If it was just based on the music, I can see your point but considering the context of Linkin Park's return and history. On a societal level, LP is a part of the cultural zeitgeist, and once you're at that level, it's just so much bigger than the music. LP dropping a solid album in this context, makes it pretty hard to overshadow. That being said, I think Poppy dropped a really great album and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I'm glad she's getting some positive recognition.

I actually disagree with the "it's too safe" take. I find it genuinely refreshing to just listen to some good metal. Modern metal IS experimental. I think sleep token really paved the way for that in the scene, now other bands are trying to be different. Don't get me wrong, I love bands like bmth, bad omens, sleep token, etc. who are really good at that experimental sound, but damn, sometimes i just want to go back to slipknot days where it was just there. It was there, and it was good.

[@SongwritingDeconstructed]

Poppy is an example of an artist who REALLY dedicates their all to their craft. She's been taking vocal lessons for screaming as well as singing for years now, it's quite evident when you listen to her earlier work how much she's improved. She learned guitar, bass and I believe basic drumming?, so she could contribute more to the songwriting and communicate her vision better. And she took modern dance classes and works out to better her vocal performance (I'm a singer myself, it makes SUCH a difference to breath control and vocal stamina)

my reaction to poppy is a bit.. paradox? on the one hand i like her just doing what she wants, which end in her not having a direction at all regarding genre. on the other hand, her not having like a gerne that she identifies with (is it pop? is it metal? is it punk? is it edm?), feels like corporate wants her to cover as many genres in her comfortzone as possible to reach the widest audience and spread the risks. but then again, maybe i'm thinking too much about it and should just enjoy the songs that i like and ignore the ones that arent up my alley

Title: it's wild! Full contents on the video: meh this album exists

[@jaydenludewig7401]

Easily her best release. I didn’t even know this came out until about an hour ago and enjoyed every song off this project. Crystallized is an amazing song and overall this record is one of my favorite, if not the best album of the year.

I saw this in my notifications and the title was caught off at *WARNING PO- and my ass was trippin’

[@arthur.mozart]

Great album i really loved

[@kemulli14]

Thank you Niktony Noctano, very cool!

[@WickedGoodBooks]

vital is so good! It's like Michelle Branch but metal!

[@Pezturbator]

I havent heard Michelle Branch in years. Jfc. I got Hole, Deftones, Spiritbox and Linkin Park vibes from this album

[@chrismeadows4216]

I love the Michelle Branch and Vanessa Carlton comparisons, and what I need to iterate is... Avril Lavigne. 🥴

[@Contopaxi]

Reminded me of Bilmuri

[@UponThisAltar]

Oh my god my brain nearly went through the back of my skull, how tf is that such an accurate comparison 😂 I haven't thought of Michelle Branch in a decade

[@konstantinweyers9614]

this Album is probably my album of the year

[@leoihernndz2346]

that's weird

[@ivaerz4977]

You need to get your ears checked

[@TrinidadYañezZavala]

Alongside with Jeris Johnson % Vended

[@TrinidadYañezZavala]

​@@ivaerz4977 no. This album its so good.

[@gemsane]

"negative spaces" gave me "girls not grey" (AFI) vibes hard

[@yas7689]

loving the format

[@Calibur43]

Two three years ago I wanted to brush her off, didn’t understand a feature with Bad Omens, talked trash, then was completely blown away by her with Knocked Loose yet was still somehow skeptical. This album is actually a diamond in the rough right now, I have zero complaints and only good things to say about it. Absolutely tremendous song writing and choruses. Jordan took this record to the top with her. I hope she sticks around in this genre for real.

Poppy is the best!! She changed my life!! Listening since the church opened and even a little before

[@SNEAST]

It's a good day to be a metalhead when we get new Linkin Park, Poppy, AND Worm Shepard.

[@GS-el8ll]

cant wait to give this afew playthroughs thanks for the review, i love me a bunch of references

[@DeezyP]

I remember watching her first few videos when she first came out. I can't even remember if I got to the "twist" before I stopped watching her. I heard she was doing really bad with that dude, glad to see she's doing well and branching out.

[@oni-elf]

Halo & they're all around us my absolute favs

[@datamatr1x]

It's a shame Spit wasn't put on this album.

[@lennysbennys824]

It’s a cover of kitties song spit released in kitties 2000 album “spit”

[@datamatr1x]

@lennysbennys824 And Hurt was a NIN song.

[@alexdbr11]

Blown away by this album, I think it's so so good

[@craighall9282]

Really enjoyed this album. Huge surprise to me. Love it when an album comes out of nowhere - rather than waiting ages for an album and it disappointing you

[@stevenwest7169]

You got me intrigued to hear this album in full now. Thanks Nik.

[@AR-uj2qb]

I think this is her best work, at least since Flux, possibly better than I Disagree
