Agreed, and the genre-mixing wizardry goes a long way to keep things entertaining all the way through. One of my favorite listens of the year, for better or for worse.

This isn't super innovative, but not everything needs to be.



I would much rather have Poppy lead the way for modern metalcore or whatever than, say, Architects or Wage War

Or most of these dogshit mainstream bands. The popularity of that godawful Make Them Suffer record pisses me off. Poppy makes those bands look like amateur hour

Exactly. She's got the chops and seems to surround herself with all the right people to help make records that whip ass.



She also seems to actually have passion for this type of music, which is something I can't say for some of the more popular acts in the scene that do everything they can to write sterile pop rock and slap a breakdown on top.

being recommended the river over and over on r/mc in 2017 was PRECISELY why i started believing there was a "trend" to go lower and lower on the guitar and that it was "bad".

Remember going to an ETID show years ago, 68 was the first opener and killed it, it took about a minute and a half of wage war playing before I said fuck this and went to the bar

Also Poppy has the chops for the genre hopping thing thanks to how she started being this weird pop artist. Her metal side is pretty standard atm but her ability to blend all the sounds she has experimented with is what makes it work. She has a lot of room to grow into something spectacular

Nah this is like Five Guys. Bands like Converge and Dillinger are Michelin Star steakhouses, but sometimes you just want a good cheeseburger.



In this analogy, Wage War would be like the rotting deer meat your drunk step father accidentally left in the fridge

Five Guys makes sense for this

I would occasionally indulge in this for fun but I guess I find the emotional resonance lacking where I wouldn't on other albums, definitely feel Death of Peace of Mind hits that spot more for more recent ones

this album is the equivalent of an anonymous handjob in a bathroom stall of a Burger King that recently had lay-offs

have you guys ever noticed that the majority of music discourse online has devolved into lazy analogies? i know you guys are just joking around in this instance but it’s a trend i’ve noticed. i swear every rym comment is “this album is like x for people who y”
