Poppy - Negative Spaces

Post by NeonKnite »

I've been a Poppy fan for a few years, the new album "Negative Space" is great stuff.

I like this one. Not as much as I disagree but it was still good. Hope she keeps up the heavy stuff. If you haven't seen it, her singing with Spiritbox was pretty badass..

There's a few okay things on the record but it's not even close to "I Disagree." I loved "I Disagree." The thing that made her unique is how musically it was all over the place. Her new record is basically just a straight ahead new sounding metal record. There's nothing that stands out or is any different than 100 other bands. Her music obviously changed when she left Titanic Sinclair who co-wrote a lot of her older stuff, but I get why she did since he was abusive. I appreciate that she keeps wanting to change her sound too, so I'll always check her out and see what's she's doing.

Negative Spaces, like everything she has put out post I Disagree is just average to me. I get her not wanting to copy the sound of her former bf/co-writer but she has lost what had made her so unique to begin with.
Though she still has a blend of her pop self, she leans too heavily on sounding like most metalcore/post hardcore bands which are a dime a dozen.

"Negative Spaces" might be my favorite album of hers so far. It's a perfect combination of catchy/heavy.
