    As usual, Poppy can effortlessly move between cutesy coo and bloodcurdling scream, often contrasting the two within the same song (opener “have you had enough?”)—but the album’s transcendent moments are rarely in the harsh-metal realm at all.

    “Maybe I’m the one I’m running from,” she sings on the hard-but-gentle The Cost of Giving Up, while the self-explanatory Surviving on Defiance is beautifully raw. Over 15 tracks, she emerges as someone determined to trust her own instincts.

    Taken together, it’s a sprawling, surprising album that proves a heavier sound looks good on her.

    Her longest LP to date, it's also one of her most satisfying, engaging, and exciting. No matter which direction she chooses, Poppy has yet to disappoint.
