damn the closer is stunning. Suffocate is what really sold me on her so that kind of track is the last thing I’d expect to love from Poppy.

Her vocals are pretty great, but I'm not really into her musical style. It just sounds like what BMTH is doing lately, with some more inspired screaming and singing. So it just comes off as casually entertaining yet hollow with little staying power.

I think this is way better than what BMTH has been doing lately.
I know it's still fairly straightforward metalcore instrumentally, but it's really vibrant and addictive. Her top notch vocals just cement it.

this rivals I Disagree in quality but on that album the synthesis of metal and pop influences felt on the nose to the degree its charm almost came more from indulging Poppy as a gimmick within the genre dichotomy's whiplash. This one feels way more deliberate about making everything cohere to an internally consistent vision, and it does lose a bit of character from that - especially as she's not the only prominent person pop-ifying metal now - but her and Fish are still leading that charge as far as I'm concerned. album loses a bit of steam in its last leg but I'm having a ton of fun with it two spins in

ashcrash couldn't agree more. It's a less unique album than I Disagree (which I think will age a little better due to its character) and it's overall sheen works both for and against it. I personally find I Disagree a no-skip album and this one has a few middling tracks. That said it's still a highly enjoyable record with some of her best songs to date. If she can take this sound and get a little weirder with it in the future, she'll strike gold IMO

it’s crazy how outside of black metal Poppy is actually the best vocalist in metal

I don't really see this as erasing or diminishing her personality or anything personally, just kind of refining it so that she's less reliant on the "'I'm an android made by the pop illuminati" gimmick that it feels like she's been trying to move away from for a while since the much needed fallout with Titanic Sinclair. There are still hints of it on here though, like the little "Poppy" at the start of New Way Out or pretty much the entirety of the transition Tomorrow sounding like one of her old youtube sketches breaking down.

Nah EAT ep and I Disagree both do this as well and while I love EAT both are much less refined records and imo aim to make the pop/metalcore fusion a bit more of a gimmick than a natural fusion.

interesting, i'll see what i think! new bmth is so bad, this surely has to be a better attempt at a pop/metalcore mix which i'm not opposed to at all. more survival horror than next gen hopefully.
