I Disagree

Pitchfork 6.5/10 Part of the joy in I Disagree comes in how overwhelming it is. No single passage lasts very long, which gives even the prettier moments an unstable feeling, like everything might at any moment crumble into a void of distortion and noise.

The Needle Drop 8/10 I Disagree is metal-pop crossover that pans out remarkably well.

NME 4/5 ‘I Disagree’ is her most accomplished record, full of daring theatre and snarling forward motion.

The Line of Best Fit 7/10 I Disagree is the absolute opposite of a grower, and it’s better that way: Poppy gives you everything you need immediately, and then gives you more. It’s like being plugged directly into all of the Spotify “Alt-something” playlists at once.

Kerrang! 4/5 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.

DIY 4/5 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.

All Music 4/5 As both a symbolic avatar for her life changes and a strong empowerment statement, I Disagree celebrates Poppy's rebirth as a pop-metal alchemist and unabashed rule-breaker.

Gigwise 9/10 A true masterpiece in almost every way imaginable - the only shortcoming being the fact that her brilliant voice wasn’t given more opportunities to shine - I Disagree, is the perfect album to start 2020 with.

Clash 7/10 Now, ‘I Disagree’ is not a novelty record. Sure, it’s fun and frequently funny, but for the first time the focus of Poppy and her collaborators seems to be on the construction of songs, the sequencing of the album and the content of the lyrics.

The Observer 3/5 Overall, an enjoyable, imaginative and at times uncanny assault on the senses.

Loud and Quiet 4/10 Listening to I Disagree, it’s painfully clear that metal should have remained a flourish of Poppy’s music and not the focal point.

Slant 3.5/5 The album tosses the singer’s pop aesthetic into the shredder with heavy metal and industrial rock.

Pop Matters 7/10 A major shift from her previous endeavors, I Disagree will challenge her established fans while amassing new appreciation for the artist.

The Guardian 3/5 Breaking free of her rigidly controlled persona, the former YouTube sensation’s new album is repetitive but sincere.

Hot Press 6.5/10 Chaotic pop-metal from YouTube phenomenon.
