    Una propuesta totalmente nueva para la música actual. Moderno, fresco y oscuro. Es la combinación perfecta entre pop, nu-metal y electrónica que pueden escuchar. Sin duda un gran álbum. Poppy tiene mucho que ofrecer a la cultura pop, y desde Am I a Girl? lo viene haciendo con esa experimentación que nadie mas esta haciendo.

    Poppy has finally set free from the chains of the interweb where she was trapped in. I disagree celebrates the Art of NU Metal from Poppy's transition from Pop into a whole new genre of her own. Post-genre is what describes Poppy's style. Loved this album to the fullest.

    Not gonna lie, my expectations were high, and did it hit them? Well, no...

    Unique, iconic and Lynchian, this one. It is probably the kind of album you need to "get" to enjoy, and you may not get it first time, so it may be a slow burner.

However, if you do get it, your open mind will be rewarded, and you are likely to be left grinning from ear to ear frequently (and repeatedly asking yourself under your breath "what just happened"?). There are also a couple of emotional sucker punches, and all sorts of unusual matters come under scrutiny in the songs. For me, I came to the music through one or two songs, then gradually found the others. Each song I heard was more impressive. It is pretty much an album of best songs, which is quite an achievement. The songs are all richly referential, using genre bending for observational, sarcastic, satirical and dramatic purposes. Some of the biggest emotional punches come from the rapid stylistic changes. Some people think that these are a weak point, but when you get to know the music, they are coolly calculated and effortlessly executed. The music videos are also rich with imagery and references for you to enjoy. Finally, music nerds will enjoy some awesomely complex rhythms in a couple of the tracks- everyone is going to need to learn to bop in 7/4 and sing tunes that feature augmentation and diminution of rhythms. It definitely blew the January blues away, and I hope it will be recognised in the long term for the dizzying achievement it is.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Este álbum no es nada memorable. Te muestra un lado nuevo de la artista, pero se nota que realmente no es parte de ella, es repugnante escuchar como realmente se obliga a cantar algo que ni siquiera es parte de ella. Su voz es difícil de escuchar y con una vez que escuches, no quieres volver a hacerlo.… Expand

    Simply iconic. Transitioning form her pop persona to a much more mature and diverse character, offering a palette of emotions and depths absent in previous works.

    To be honest i didnt like this album. But i dont get why Selela Gomez´s fans come here and talk trash about this album. I dont know a lot about gomez but i think that shes is a nice person and she wouldnt appreciate all these trolls just hating on this album they probably never heard. You can like an artist and dont put down other artists. Cheers!

    I like the ambitious that her put in this album, lots of ideas and experimental elements mixed in it . It was pretty risky to composed these kind of mixed-genre stuff especially mixing pop with heavy sound together, high chance to messed it up but thankfully she done it pretty well.

    first full album from Poppy I hear and I couldn’t be more pleased and satisfied. what a beautiful journey she’s provided, she showed how easily she can go from a genre to another without boredom. already one of my favorites of the year. best songs: bloodmoney, nothing i need & sick of the sun.

    Her best work to date. I've been a fan of her for a long time but none of her previous albums have caught me the way this one did. All the tracks mesh together in a perfect way and even if you don't like heavy music you will find a song you'll like for sure. Definitely worth your time

    i love rock poppy. this album is fun, thrilling, blood rushing and energizing. i do not usually listen to rock music/ metal music but there’s something about poppy’s music that is so alluring and catchy, to the point i can’t peel my eyes away from it. the skillful and frenzied guitar riffs, liberating vocals chanting with rebellious energy, chaotic and twisted screams and the prominenti love rock poppy. this album is fun, thrilling, blood rushing and energizing. i do not usually listen to rock music/ metal music but there’s something about poppy’s music that is so alluring and catchy, to the point i can’t peel my eyes away from it. the skillful and frenzied guitar riffs, liberating vocals chanting with rebellious energy, chaotic and twisted screams and the prominent distortion makes this a wild and electrifying package. i enjoy how poppy experiments with versatility on this album, how she stitches one genre together with the next, transitioning between moods almost instantaneously. it almost feels like she’s a robot malfunctioning and glitching, screaming at the top of her lungs and then singing the sweetest bedtime lullaby seconds later. these switch ups kept me on my toes, wondering what she would deliver next.

    my only complaint is that the tracks “nothing i need” and “sick of the sun” requires a little bit more polishing. there isn’t many distinctive qualities of these two songs, and they sound like they could be easily placed on her previous pop album.
    the structure and flow of the closing tack could also be formatted better imo.
    other than that, this is a really great album!    … Expand

    Nothing good, it's flat, without any good song, except I Disagree (very good) but from there on out it's a bit boring and no joke.

    In a time where so many metal bands have been adopting a softer sound in order to achieve more mainstream appeal, it's nice to an artist from the other side of the spectrum do the exact opposite. Poppy still leans on her pop roots (and dubstep) to help compensate for her lack of ability to deliver the kind of heavier vocal style we associate with the genre, especially during the album'sIn a time where so many metal bands have been adopting a softer sound in order to achieve more mainstream appeal, it's nice to an artist from the other side of the spectrum do the exact opposite. Poppy still leans on her pop roots (and dubstep) to help compensate for her lack of ability to deliver the kind of heavier vocal style we associate with the genre, especially during the album's second-half where it loses a bit of steam, but it's done in a sort of tongue-in-cheek manner.

    The lyrical content chronicles Poppy's evolution as an artist and her feelings in regards to whatever happened with that Titanic guy. Given that I have no prior knowledge of Poppy outside of this album, a lot of that was lost on me. Yet, I did not once fail to see how empowering the messages of self-discovery and escaping toxic relationships are. All of this may be about Poppy's personal journey, but the things she(?) has learned can resonate with all of us.

    The only problem with the album is really that second-half. With the exception of "Bite Your Teeth," everything after the fifth track kind of feels like filler. It is where Poppy is at her most emotional though, dealing with themes like depression. It's also hard to fault the concluding track "Don't Go Outside" which plays out like a classic rock ballad. So while the latter portion of these songs might not be to my taste, I'm overall not going to be too hard on the package as a whole.

    It's such an atypical move for a musician to branch off into a less popular genre like this and I applaud the bravery. Not only are the results exciting and fantastic, but the decision has allowed to Poppy to express her voice in a more authentic manner while serving as a nice bridge between two different worlds of music. Whether or not this change sticks, I Disagree has made it so Poppy will always have my respect and I will be listening to many of its tracks for years to come.

    As somebody who has followed Poppy around since the very beginning of her career, it's sad to admit that I did not like this album at all. I appreciate and respect Poppy's desire to experiment and feel free with her music and I genuinely support her to continue. However, that doesn't make this a good album. The singles "Bloodmoney" and "I Disagree" gave a promising look for this album, butAs somebody who has followed Poppy around since the very beginning of her career, it's sad to admit that I did not like this album at all.

    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.
