It took me awhile to open up to this, but now after a few listens I love it. I was disappointed in the lead up that we weren’t getting more rock poppy, but I honestly don’t think Poppy will stick to anything for long. You never know what you’ll get on the next Poppy album, which is what I’ve grown to like about her. Surprisingly, I actually think this had more of a direction than flux, which I was relieved about, because on that one, it felt like she still wasn’t sure what she wanted to do, or what direction she wanted to take. I definitely think we’ll get more rock/metal poppy in the future, or maybe we’ll get an entirely different genre. How about goth poppy, Hyper pop poppy, emo poppy, or maybe even hecking folk poppy. You never know with her. Can’t wait to see what else she has up her sleeve. It feels like she’s really found herself again with this one.

The album cover is what got me. Poppy is most likely just going thru a phase, which doesn’t make up for the music, however she recently responded to her metal fans, saying “don’t worry I’ll be back, (and looked sad and happy) expression for my love for dance and choreography is important to me” (Zach sang interview) That does come thru, her self directed music videos are very well done. This album ain’t it, but it doesn’t even feel like an earnest attempt , the “record label doesn’t care for music, and it scares me” attitude she voiced feels urgent and contradictory, while I respect the shit out of her, the tension feels different now when addressing “they control me” and why this is important stands out. Is Zig Zag her trying to maneuver outside popular demand and its consuming her, tied back artistically? The guy who worked with Deafheaven should come back, that was a power move. Bring in other open minded black metal producers, Steve albini even. Totally agree on the album tho. Love all her most recent output, maybe I’m in the minority. She’s definitely one of the coolest “pop” artists out there, and deserves better talent working alongside her, as they already do for live and studio recordings. After watching her what’s in my bag video, I’m not worried at all as a metal fan and Spit was a pretty amazing cover.

If only she had Titanic to be her ambassador/middle man, back her up and deal with the corporate times which he has done for longer. Cheat on him for 9 months with a metal artist, and yet Titanic man bad. Interview with his brother and "Homeboy's got recipes" is illuminating truly. Wouldn’t have pegged her as a red MAGA hat wearing gal, good thing there is no photo evidence of that. Kinda sad near all pop stars would commit career suicide if they didn’t rep the left. And with those like MARINA, the lengths they will go to be a great rep kill the sincerity, element of uniqueness.

Whoa I went and listened to the title track Zig after you described the chorus build-up as "hideously dissonant harmonies"... But when I listened, the only dissonant part was the melody over the chord bed in the verse part at the beginning. The chorus uses an unusual scale, for sure, but it's not dissonant. The lyrics are very simplistic, but I think that's my favorite Poppy song, musically, right now. And the music fits the lyrics... it's unexpected. You call this track, Zig, unlistenable? Wow, I want to hear it again. I believe you - people have different takes.

She really needs to get a new producer. The person she's working with currently has quite the track record but whatever he's doing with poppy just isn't working. While his style somewhat worked with flux now that Poppy is doing more… pop it's increasingly clear that it's a skill issue. It feels like all of his production sounds like it's been compressed and extremely muddled making it hard to really hear any of the nice little details of the production or enjoy the actual good ideas in it in the end.

As someone who has followed Poppy’s career, I do agree this is her most underwhelming album yet but I think it’s supposed to be. Whoever worked on this project really made it a point to over-simplify her in order to bring out more of her femininity and sexuality. This album feels a lot more comercial and brings me back a bit to the ‘Am I a Girl’ era at least lyrically speaking, both albums give the vibe of being intentionally campy, enigmatic and ironic. The Zig album felt a lot more campy all the way through which it’s a style some people enjoy, like the girls, femmes and gays. So overall it may be a strategy to keep different audiences engaged with a bigger range of music styles while also just giving her voice a rest from the previous albums and eps.

I actually really enjoyed how unpolished this album felt. As much as I've enjoyed Poppy's prior music, it tended to have a bit of a hyper-punchy, overproduced edge that suggested a team of "creatives" propping up the woman herself as a kind of figurehead. Poppy's own cultivated image didn't help much either -- I never really got into the concept of performing as a persona in all public appearances (including interviews etc.), and I didn't like how it tended to produce a rabid fanbase convinced Poppy's shit didn't stink. So it's nice to have an album here that sounds like the first demo of an up-and-coming experimental artist.

I feel Poppy as an artist has found stability and has added a couple new songs they can pick from to add to their tour set list. As a touring artist they said their main focus was more dance driven music. Compared to her other albums a 4 is fair, I'm interested to hear more after this release for sure.

I thought the ep Stagger she put out before this had some really great rock/metal oriented stuff that felt in keeping with her last couple albums, but also was doing something slightly different in the heavy space. I also really liked the dark electro/industrial vibes on this one but wish she went harder in that territory. Like a heavy dark electronic focused album would be amazing but a lot of the stuff here felt half baked and never really as weird or interesting as she's been in the past.

I think the main differences with the past few albums are mainly attributable to who she's working with. She might have had some falling out with some people (I don't really get how anyone's career survives the I Disagree music video as much as hers has 🤣🤣🤣). But after this album, she's collabed with Bad Omens (Sumerian) and Knocked Loose (Pure Noise), which shows that getting away from the heavier stuff probably wasn't her actual main desire, but rather something that just happened as a result of working with different people. Bad Omens is on Sumerian, who did I Disagree, so I guess they're cool with her. Hopefully she can work with some of them again. For some weird reason, I really wanna see Poppy front an all-female super group like the kinds they have in Japan (BAND-MAID, DOLL$BOXX/Gacharic-Spin, etc.). I can't think of a better frontwoman who isn't already in a band-band (like Jinjer, Spiritbox, etc.) than her. That one female metal/etc. drummer KZbinr Kristina Rybalchenko is just chilling in Serbia now trying to get a US visa; I'd love to see her in an actual band, especially in the US if it's where she wants to come anyway. Which instrumentalists and vocalists would you pick for an all-girl supergroup? Sounds like a great idea for a video if I ever hoyd one. Some of the ones I like who aren't in major bands (maybe they just have some kind of solo project) are: - the KZbinr British guitarist Sophie Burrell (shredder; more classic oldie type stuff, but the djentiest thing I've seen her play is Doomsday by Architects; has a mellow solo group called Bxrrell) - another KZbinr British guitarist Sophie Lloyd (also a shredder, plays similar stuff) - the KZbinr German drummer Raja Meissner (doesn't seem to be in any major band) - can't find or think of any bassists besides Davie504 in drag I guess all the ones who aren't in major bands already I can think of are all KZbinrs. 🤣 Best female drummer I know of is Anastasia Sereda (she can play Blxxd by Meshuggah in heels and/or with one hand while drinking tea and eating chocolate), but she's already in a Russian band called Invertor.

If the album was called To Zig a Butterfly you would’ve gave it a 10.

i feel like Poppys gotten herself in a corner, it’s clear she’s over the sound of I Disagree (at least for now) and wants to go in a different direction but she’s established herself with that sound and that’s now what both fans and the label expect. it definitely doesn’t help that though she does have a core fanbase i just don’t know if we are the type of fanbase who would keep up if she drastically changed her sound every album, a lot of fans love everything she puts out, and a lot of fans don’t mind it but also wish she would go back to metal or pop and mostly stick around waiting for that to happen. her collab with bad omens has me hopeful though, a dark industrial but still almost pop/dance influenced sound could be something she like really thrive in

The collaboration with Bad Omens came at the right time. To put it simply, V.A.N has simply succeeded.

I completely disagree with every take you have here. This album is pure crunchy dark industrial pop GOLD. Sounds like you don't get it, Sir! That's alright, tastes vary, but dang! Maybe don't rip into someone's art & livelihood so intensely, Jesus H. Macey.

To be fair, there has been a large "whooshing" sound as this album has gone skirling over the heads of a lot of people (usually male). Partly because (for some reason) they were expecting something specific (and didn't get it), or that they feel Poppy isn't ticking the boxes of a specific genre or meeting conventional expectation (like, when would she ever do that?!). in reality, it is way more complex, subtle and technical than people are used to dealing with. I love this album and its strange dreamscape where songs deconstruct and melt into nothing- I was in at the point where Hard segued into the cello solo. Complete gem.

Eesh. As a Poppy fan who has I Disagree in my top 5 albums ever list, this one is extremely disappointing. The Eat EP was pretty cool, enjoyed that, needed a lot more of it. Flux was OK, had some nice dreamy tracks, lacked good headliners, though. Some of this could be any generic European dance act from the early 2000s, or even Eurovision entries from the edgy times. I feel it's maybe too obvious to mention but the abusive, controlling ex (bf and collaborator) was the creative genius that made previous releases so good.

So like why haven’t you reviewed Jane Remover’s album yet?
@jessiehoolahoopsmcgee9 ай бұрын
Poppy loves to experiment with noise and rhythm, as she has expressed both verbally and sonically. What many call "distortion" is much more nuanced in Poppy's noise music arsenal. Noise music isn't for everyone, and not everyone can make it well, but Poppy is a master imo. Experimenting in new ways is what makes her exciting, whether I'll click with a song or not. I still respect the hell out of her work. In relation to her other albums and EPs, Zig for me is less cohesive than Choke and Flux, but still has really interesting soundscapes throughout.
