Although I have really come to love the last few albums and EP?s from the former pop start, this new direction is a bit of a question mark for me. Alternative rock (with a hint of metal) tracks like ?Flux? really leave me with a sour taste in my mouth with how unoriginal it is. But then pop metal banger ?So Mean? with a power pop twist brings back that energy that I expect from Poppy. Even the last few shoegaze and dream pop tracks leave me questioning what Poppy really wanted with this album. Not her best work, but also not her worst.
