she's magic. she always has been. this is the kind of album that goes on to inspire the next generation of bedroom sound designers. this album comes from a pioneer of the hyperpop space, and those roots are very visible(especially in the songwriting), but this album goes from dancey to those softer hyperpop and digicore elements with ease. it's funky at times. very much like my favorite album of 2025, ninajirachi's 'i love my computer,' this album will get asses out of ... read more

in some ways, poppy has taken elements from her work as far back as X, and refined them. is there such thing as too refined though? i felt that way at points throughout the album.

it feels like it comes down to the production i fear. her performance is stellar, as usual, but i think the elements of each song were almost mishandled. i thoroughly enjoyed the album, regardless, but i'd like to see more I Disagree and a bit less Negative Spaces the next time poppy dips into metalcore or alt ... read more
