    Great album, but not cohesive enough in my opinion. Some great tracks. Liked it at the first listen, but doesn't have enough replay value.

    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.

    I got to agree with Exclaim review here. On "I Disagree", Poppy seems to want to be unpredictable, changeable, evolving and chaotic. But she only manages to be partially and temporally interesting during this 35-minute record full of noise, digressions and unmastered subjects. Instrumentally and vocally, they (meaning she and the artists that accompany her) are very limited, evenI got to agree with Exclaim review here. On "I Disagree", Poppy seems to want to be unpredictable, changeable, evolving and chaotic. But she only manages to be partially and temporally interesting during this 35-minute record full of noise, digressions and unmastered subjects. 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

    Great album, great production
    I really admire, I don't call this album really a metal album, it's more of dark pop influenced by metal, her voice suits this type of music, things I hated are the track listing I found it very messy

    El álbum más creativo que he escuchado en mi vida. Combinando pop, rock, metal, industrial y dreampop no sólo en un mismo álbum, a veces en una misma canción y aún así funciona a la perfección.

    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

    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.

    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

    Um dos melhores álbuns da Poppy com toda certeza. Tudo nele é único e me agrada, instrumental, vocais, letras. Poppy fez uma obra-prima, e com certeza após este álbum irei me aprofundar mais na área Heavy Metal.

    I disagree is filled with sudden turns, making the experience enjoyable and fun. However, sometimes these changes don't tend to fit, and are often off-putting. While bringing nothing knew to the table, Poppy embraces this metal/pop sound very well, sometimes focusing on one more than the other. In all these cases, she fits the lead role very well.

    Este álbum es uno de los mejores de la carrera de poppy, el cambio que hizo del pop al metal no es para nada forzado, tanto los sonidos y las letras del álbum son espectaculares. Definitivamente muy recomendable de escuchar y este es un álbum para nunca aburrirse.

    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

    As a hardcore metal myself, i was really surprised by this album. No matter what kind of music you enjoy, this album is a masterpiece in the music field. It's experimental as hell, is bold ,confident, not afraid to make serious and massive leaps of faith. No matter what kind of music you like at this point, just give it a try, you might be surprised.

This is Poppy's final masterpiece and opens a new era on the evolution of her persona, as stated with the death of the old Poppy in the first track "Bury me six feet deep". This rush of adrenaline ends with the message that summarizes all her evolution and liberation both as an artist and as a woman who has suffered psychological abuse: "You can be anyone you want to be. You can be free".… Expand

    Whether viewed as empowered statement from a newly-free artist, or simply as a great record from pop’s new princess of darkness, ‘I Disagree’ is in fact, extremely agreeable indeed.

    For every comparison you can make of individual moments, there is little here that you can honestly say you’ve heard before, and little that can be judged on traditional terms. But that’s what makes her such a fascinating force.
