Poppy has for me the best album of 2024 by far and there isn't a bad song anywhere on it. Negative Spaces deserves recognition and mainstream radio play as it is to good to hide. Poppy's 6th album is a total bop! Poppy rocks!!! Tatiana Shmayluk of Jinjer does amazing vocals as does Floor Jansen of Nightwish so Poppy is in good company as a wonderful vocalist. Poppy for the second time has been nominated for a best metal performance Grammy with Knocked Loose,I hope they win! A good reaction to the incomparable Poppy .
Same boat lol seen her open for avenged sevenfold recently and I’ve been addicted ever since. I know all of her music now and I love it. It’s good to hear from someone else that vibes with it too you know?lol
Im literally going insane, there is NO ONE for me to share this happiness and addiction I feel for this album. Soooo happy you loved it! This is defenetly my AOTY!❤️❤️❤️
Great reaction! Shoegaze Poppy is never far away- but it was pretty much anarchic genius to end an album that brought us "the centre's falling out" and all that other mayhem on a piece of sweet but doleful shoegaze like Halo. It is a real slow burner too, and the mix is really complicated (see what is hiding in the mix if you can work out how to play it backwards!!). I think people are sleeping on that song, but it doesn't matter as this is the kind of album that will take folks a fair while to process fully and that's why Poppy's albums are such growers. Songs like Halo are often the icing on the cake that people overlook at first and then fall in love with last.....
agree with all of this! i think halo was the perfect end to this album for the reasons you mentioned, and i do think people who didn’t love it upon first listen will come around to it, it’s just too good to sleep on forever. i think the same will be true for the other less heavy tracks like vital and surviving on defiance because those are also absolute bangers. i just keep finding more to love about this album every time i listen to it
@@rowanfox There is a hell of a lot to deep dive into! At the moment, I am having a closer look at "have you had enough?"- the way it builds, and builds and keeps surpassing its own heaviness is awesome (fairly meta given the title of the song!)- the rhythmically uneven intro- the polyrhythms. Poppy has a habit of putting odd things in the mix that you might miss. In the middle of the really heavy breakdown of "had enough", there is a weird high trill thing with reverb- happens twice forward at 2.46 and again more clearly at 2.54. It also happens backwards at 2.27ish, but you can only spot it if you reverse the track. Everyone's ears will be focused on the breakdown mayhem in the lower frequencies. Actually, listening again, it sounds a bit like the birdsong at the end of Knocked Loose's Suffocate, but heavily processed and at a lower pitch. A few more- we have a song called "the centre's fallen out". What is at the centre of this album? "Nothing". Exactly halfway through "Nothing" (i.e. the exact centre of the album) is a weird and completely unnecessary electronic disruption that makes no particular sense.
Poppy’s screams have gotten killer! Female screamers are actually taking over heavy music, you need to check out Otep, Dying Wish, Novelists, Lake Malice, Terminal Sleep, Volatile Ways, .bHP, Not Enough Space, & Reba from Code Orange kills it on every track she’s on too
So cool to see your big smile when she started her scream in the first song 😄😃👍🏻👍🏻 sucha banger this record really..no fillers!! Listened at least 3 times to it fully yesterday, crazy 🤣 she done sucha great job with producer Jordan Fish 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 She's really up there this year in AOTY with From Zero by LP.
The way Halo became my fav Poppy song of all time and i have listened to her ENTIRE discography is insane. Thank you for being a Halo stan we need more of you 🫶
I enjoyed your reaction, Poppy being a post genre artist, means she doesn't limit herself to one particular style. I love all Poppys albums and Eps, they are all different, but Negative Spaces is now my fave, I can hear traces of lots of her earlier sounds, but this is her most powerful and dynamic project so far imo.
I totally agree with you as Poppy has never put out any bad music and that includes her cover videos before she met Corey Mixter. Poppy has it going on big time!
Great album, it has a little bit of everything that I personally grew up on and it’s very refreshing to hear so many styles and genres that she flows through on this record
Deftones, NiN, Linkin Park, Hole, Avril, Slipknot, Ariana, Static X soooo many influences on this album. Ive lost count but im sure ill add more later! Absolute Masterpiece!
HALO is also my favorite song! Although Have you Had Enough? is a close second. I’m glad someone else appreciates it. I actually cried the first time I heard it. The lyrics were very heartfelt.
I discovered this little girl the same say her album was out and went straight up to my AOTY podium 2024 along with the new Blood Incantation and Thy Catafalque. ❤
Great reaction!! You’ve gained a new subscriber ❤😊 it always cracks me up that within one car ride I can have a shuffle and hear Poppy sing “girls in bikinis”, to “her”, “spit” and then “suffocate” with knocked loose. She is versatile, unabashedly herself, and a true entertainer (which is so rare these days)
Also the fact that she has no features is cool af imo. Baddie is a baddie all by herself. Granted I’m sure it’ll be amazing if and when she features heavy female artists! It would be a dream to hear her w In This Moment or Otep!
Girl idk about you, but i get a real kick out of a stellar title track, a last track on an album, or a title track that is also the last track on an album. Halo is truly an amazing way to close the album and no other song couldve done it 😭✨️
As a counterpoint to you saying you love Poppy's voice... actually, your voice is very satisfying to listen to hahah It was a joy to watch this! I'm with you on "halo" being a fantastic song, and what I like the most about Poppy is how she just... does whatever the hell she wants. 80s synthwave song in the middle of a metal album? Why not? p.s. if you want some raw screams from Poppy, check out the Deezer Sessions performance of "Hard" from her last album
“I have a bone to pick to people who skip halo” Halo is one of my favorites, if not my favorite. Honestly it kinda bums me out that people look over songs if there isn’t screaming. Album is a 10/10 for me.

i was starting to feel insane with how much i love poppy's music, glad to come across your video lmao
thank you for getting me because i also feel insane for how much i love her music fr 😭

HALO IS THAT GIRL✨
YOURE RIGHT AND YOU SHOULD SAY IT 🗣️
Poppy has always been so so talented. Like her creativity??? Unmatched. I love her so much I can’t even explain it AJAKJWNEE
'Halo' is absolutely beautiful, no argument here. So yeah, there's at least 2 'Halo' fans! 😅
What a fantastic album.

@@rowanfox I legit love you haha. I reacted to all these songs the same way. The passion you have for music I see it and I love it lol.

Ive seen poppy live when she opened at a 30 seconds to Mars concert and she is so good
The way Halo became my fav Poppy song of all time and i have listened to her ENTIRE discography is insane. Thank you for being a Halo stan we need more of you 🫶
Halo is SO beautiful. But Surviving on defiance has my heart forever.

I totally agree with you as Poppy has never put out any bad music and that includes her cover videos before she met Corey Mixter. Poppy has it going on big time!
Her pop songs are not only shit but riddled with illuminati symbolisms her metal song videos no illuminati symbolism which is a big plus
The album is on repeat since it dropped 🦾🥰 she is amazing!
Great album, it has a little bit of everything that I personally grew up on and it’s very refreshing to hear so many styles and genres that she flows through on this record
As a poppy fan, thanks you for this 🫂🫐✨️
Awesome album, loved watching!
THANK YOU! halo is my favorite, i always get a weird reaction for that xd
Poppy is just really good at making you feel her lyrics through the way the music sounds, if that makes sense
Hell yeah. I burned myself out on spiritbox. This is filling the void left.
I'm obsessed with this new album
Deftones, NiN, Linkin Park, Hole, Avril, Slipknot, Ariana, Static X soooo many influences on this album. Ive lost count but im sure ill add more later! Absolute Masterpiece!
Vital could totally be a track by "The Ghost Inside" Poppy is killing it 🤘🏻
Dude ur energy is awesome. You earned a sub from me 👍🏽
I'm so excited for this review!!!
HALO is also my favorite song! Although Have you Had Enough? is a close second. I’m glad someone else appreciates it. I actually cried the first time I heard it. The lyrics were very heartfelt.
love your glasses!
Poppys album is number 2 on my AOTY following Knocked Loose.
I recommend Ad Infinitum, Infected Rain & Oceans of Slumber for lady screamers ❤
ooooh thank you for the recs 🙏
I discovered this little girl the same say her album was out and went straight up to my AOTY podium 2024 along with the new Blood Incantation and Thy Catafalque. ❤
Halo is definitely in my top tracks i LOVE it, i think its the layered vocals in the verses that do it for me 😫
45:07 this song also became my favorite idk what it did to me
I saw Poppy 5 times (so far) Can I just make your day and say...SHE'S EVEN BETTER LIVE 🥲
Tears in my eyes getting to hear someone who is not a cis man reacting to Poppy! I feel immediately less alone ❤
Great reaction!! You’ve gained a new subscriber ❤😊 it always cracks me up that within one car ride I can have a shuffle and hear Poppy sing “girls in bikinis”, to “her”, “spit” and then “suffocate” with knocked loose. She is versatile, unabashedly herself, and a true entertainer (which is so rare these days)
I wouldn’t call myself a metal head, but I find Poppy’s screams the best. They are so satisfying, and I don’t know why!
Also the fact that she has no features is cool af imo. Baddie is a baddie all by herself. Granted I’m sure it’ll be amazing if and when she features heavy female artists! It would be a dream to hear her w In This Moment or Otep!
This album is a gift, got me reminiscing about Kittie.
I had the same grip on my heart when listening to halo 💙
Girl idk about you, but i get a real kick out of a stellar title track, a last track on an album, or a title track that is also the last track on an album. Halo is truly an amazing way to close the album and no other song couldve done it 😭✨️
Yesterday and crystallized are meant to be treated as one song they flow into each other. Love this album so much possibly AOTY
Poppy change me
Easily in my top 5 albums from this year. Hell, its in my top 3.
As a counterpoint to you saying you love Poppy's voice... actually, your voice is very satisfying to listen to hahah
It was a joy to watch this! I'm with you on "halo" being a fantastic song, and what I like the most about Poppy is how she just... does whatever the hell she wants. 80s synthwave song in the middle of a metal album? Why not?
p.s. if you want some raw screams from Poppy, check out the Deezer Sessions performance of "Hard" from her last album
YES HALO IS N°1!!!
Check out butcher babies, jinjer, arch enemy, infected rain, otep for more good female screamers besides spiritbox.
Marry me in vegas is killer
I love halo so much it's very beautiful
“I have a bone to pick to people who skip halo”
Halo is one of my favorites, if not my favorite. Honestly it kinda bums me out that people look over songs if there isn’t screaming. Album is a 10/10 for me.
the editor's note was so funny lmao
How good is this album?lol
DOOWWWWWNNNN
OUGH OUGH
get up
