    This album explores new genres from her past music, being very upbeat pop, this new style has a very unique sound unlike any other artist, coming close to artists like Grimes and AViVA, this I definitely recommend the album if you like post-genre or nu metal type genres, some of my highlights from this project are (Grammy Nominated) BLOODMONEY, If It Bleeds, Don't Go Outside, and I Disagree

    A wonderful album. I disagree is the best track out of the whole album. While the mood swings in the songs (e.g the really dark part and then going into really happy and cheery) can be quite annoying at some times (this was especially ruined on "Fill The Crown") but still quite good nevertheless. And yes, there are like 1/2 pop (ish) songs on this album. Overall, good album, made me a fanA wonderful album. I disagree is the best track out of the whole album.

    The soft/metal combination is beautiful. I've always been a fan of Poppy from a performance stand point but this album is pretty spectacular. I enjoy pretty much every track. I hope more original work like this is coming down the line.

    Poppy's genre bending abilities are on full display in what i hope to be the album that spearheads the beginning of this decade. Seemless transitions and blending between the two extremes of the music spectrum and adding in sprinkles some of what's in the middle.

    It's been quite a while since an album has legitimately surprised me with it's choices and it's way of flow. I haven't heard anything like this in my experience and I'm delighted to find something of this degree of quality and interest.
    I love it when an artist pulls off this kind of artistic development and I'm so glad that i chose this album to begin my music decade with, as a bold statement and forward thinking to the max in an attempt to forward the shifting industry into it's next form, I'm hoping for the best and I'm legitimately excited to see where this decade goes because as this album shows, the possibilities are absolutely endless. Poppy has reached another level, so far... this is her best work yet. I love the way she's not afraid on pushing herself harder on every album. She's in a constant change, a chameleon. To conclude, "I Disagree" is one of the most disorienting albums I have ever listened to, continues to innovate and juxtapose bubblegum pop and metal. It remains an intoxicating combination and I can not wait to see it live. A risky option for any artist that is mainly known for its pinky pop sound but, nevertheless, she has demonstated to be a fearless powerfull artist within the music industry. If the Grammys play right this year, this record must be nominated for at least one award.    … Expand

    I like the ambitious that her put in this album, lots of ideas and experimental elements mixed in it . It was pretty risky to composed these kind of mixed-genre stuff especially mixing pop with heavy sound together, high chance to messed it up but thankfully she done it pretty well.

    Poppy parece repetir a fórmula de dois hits de seu álbum anterior, X e Play Destroy. A mistura do metal em contraste com o bubblegum pop não é novidade, considerando que o próprio kawaii pop, surgido em meados de 2010, possui uma proposta similar.

Um álbum bastante expressivo, visceral, maduro e arriscado, já que pode desagradar tanto os seus fãs mais antigos quanto "metaleiros" desavisados. Percebe-se que, assim como em Am I a Girl? (2018) e Poppy.Computer (2017), Poppy se preocupa não só em fazer canções, mas em entregar um álbum com uma temática coesa (o final da última música, Don't Go Outside, que o diga!), que engloba diferentes ramos artísticos. Dito isso, vale a pena não só escutar, mas apreciar também a experiência visual dos videoclipes.… Expand

    Pretty unique and chaotic pop album. At times it can feel a bit unfocused and jarring, but I think that really feeds into the chaotic nature of metal she’s experimenting with.

    It seems Poppy, once an internet sensation formed from short YouTube clips displaying her almost deadpan but meme-able personality, has evolved into a fully realized musician on I Disagree. Admittedly, I didn't have the warmest welcome into Poppy's music. Her 2017 album "Poppy.Computer" wasn't winning me over with it's generic electro-pop sound. Moreover, the compelling internet personaIt seems Poppy, once an internet sensation formed from short YouTube clips displaying her almost deadpan but meme-able personality, has evolved into a fully realized musician on I Disagree. Admittedly, I didn't have the warmest welcome into Poppy's music. Her 2017 album "Poppy.Computer" wasn't winning me over with it's generic electro-pop sound. Moreover, the compelling internet persona Poppy honed didn't translate well into the sound of the album. Poppy's next album "Am I A Girl?" was almost like a complete 180 musically, crossing the worlds of electro-pop, dance-pop and at times a left hook in the tracklist with an edgy and heavy pop-metal fusion. With healthy features from Grimes and Diplo, the character of this album was potent and made for a more creative project, even if some songs were underwhelming. And it seems this album was an inevitable route as Poppy released the "Choke EP" back in 2019.

    "I Disagree" takes the most heavy and eye-opening parts of "Am I A Girl?" and builds on it into her most relentless album yet with twists and turns around every corner. Starting with the 'tongue-in-cheek' "Concrete", where Poppy introduces the album with a set of lyrics depicting the edgy-ness that she intends to deliver on the rest of the tracks, stating "Bury me six feet deep / Cover me in concrete / Turn me into a street". There are some bright and colorful harmony passages molding in with Poppy blurting out "Chewy chewy, yummy yummy yummy" that give a sharp contrast to the trash metal guitars shredding the pre-chorus. The persistent heavy metal drumming during the lighter moments of the song keep the energy high while still giving an avid sense of the sugary pop that it seems Poppy is trying to either rid of or leave to the side with lyrics like "Some people like candy / some people like ice cream / But these lifeless flavors don't satisfy me" The build of this track also leaves a satisfying payout with the final leg of this track being as anthemic as it is. The next couple tracks really hone both the edgy and catchy side of the album, starting with the punk-ish attitude Poppy delivers on the title track while harmonizing over these chunky metal guitars. With the track "BLOODMONEY", Poppy starts to introduce the electro-industrial sides of the album that prevail for most of the album after this point. The absolutely crushing vocal performance and punchy drums crush just about everything else during the chorus. With "Anything Like Me", Poppy almost whispers the verses until distorted guitars and yelling background vocals crush the chorus. The song falls into an dreamy ballad with acoustic guitars and light drums until the catchy "You shouldn't be anything like me" chorus returns and closes the song. "Fill The Crown" is another highlight for me as the electronics starting the track has a soothing vibe to it. The electronics get a bit glitchy and turn into a brief breakbeat. This builds to the chorus co-sung by Marilyn Manson. At this point the song works really well with him and reminds me of something Manson would get his hands on. "Nothing I Need" serves as a cooldown cut as this is Poppy's prettier vocal performance on the record (without any switch-ups into a heavier section). "Sit/Stay" might be my favorite track on the record consisting of the most insane genre-fusions and consistent beat switches. The vocals on this track never bore me and have many different inflections. The heavy guitars are not lost on this track as they appear quite frequently. "Bite Your Teeth" is probably the most odd cut with the beat switch-ups going from chugging heavy metal guitars into some squeaky bits of electronic instrumentation. The song breaks down into the softer moment as many other tracks here already have, this time not much different, but the highlight of this track would be the high energy heavy metal guitars and the 'drone-y' finish to the song. "Sick of the Sun" is another dreamier cut like "Nothing I Need". It's a fine track but this time not all that interesting to me at this point in the album, as the closer is the next song. "Don't Go Outside" finishes the album in a better way I expected. I'm glad there is a genuine build to this track and not 6 minutes of beat switches and edgy but sweet lyrics. Even though Poppy is in character on this album, I feel there is a personal message Poppy wants to convey on this song and a couple others. The closing lyrics being "You can be anyone you want to be" kind of fits for Poppy and her persona as she has painted herself with being this unique individual for 5 years or so. I think Poppy will continue down this path of these metal-pop crossovers with more and more catchy songs.    … Expand

    No terceiro álbum de estúdio, Poppy explora extremamente a fundo o metal, deixando o pop de segundo plano. É surpreendente como o metal cai-lhe absurdamente bem, a dualidade entre a voz doce e a melodia extrema. eu diria que chocolate com pimenta jamais conseguiria tamanha sintonia.

    I like the way they contrast between a sweet and soft voice with aggressive and dark guitars, it is as if a big bad wolf is behind a rabbit protecting it. However, not all his songs are something that fills our ears musically speaking

    It's abrasive, intense, and marvelous. Poppy, one of the most eclectic underground pop figures in today's music industry, is touching her new peak on I Disagree. If a few songs are total misses, the vast majority of the LP is a total hit. From the angelic Concrete to the haunting Sick of the Sun, we see her shining brighter - or darker - than ever before.

    Poppy's descent into a demonic twist on the industry plant pop star continues to delight. Her mix of hyper cute pop with buzzing, almost post-hardcore guitars and all around high quality production creates such a unique sound. Yes, Poppy is a living meme. Does that mean she can't make high quality music? Nope.

Sonidos interesantes y leales a los ritmos pero que igualmente exploran rincones a los que es difícil llegar y más tratandose de mezclas entre los géneros. Hay partes del disco donde se pierde ese interés que ibamos recolectando en canciones icónicas como I Disagree o BLOODMONEY, pudiéndose decir que más cerca al final el disco comienza a salirse de tono, con ritmos asimismo más de su viejo estilo. En resumen el disco es bueno y suena bien la primera vez que se lo escucha. No es algo que sorprenda ni algo que se aleje de lo repetitivo y tosco, pero es interesante los recursos robóticos y bien pertenecientes del Death Metal que se usan en el disco.

Instrumentally and vocally, they (meaning she and the artists that accompany her) are very limited, even redundant. Engaging moments tend to become the most annoying ones. Instruments rage with the greatest indifference. I guess they all believed that her public image would have been sufficient to make 'I Disagree' its popularity. And the worst is that it worked in overall. Unfortunately, I am definitely not a fan of Poppy and everything she claims to have developed. I can recognize the fact that some puns and lines are deep and questioning but it can't erase the feeling of listening to a girl sadly lacking vitality and conviction.… Expand
