Music to Scream To is the third soundtrack album by American singer Poppy, released on October 20, 2020, through Sumerian Records. It served as a soundtrack for the singer's graphic novel Poppy's Inferno, which was released on the same day.[3] Music to Scream To is Poppy's first album to be fully composed and produced by herself.
Background
[edit]In January 2020, Poppy announced through her social medias the release of a sequel for her 2019's graphic novel Genesis 1, called Poppy's Inferno. The book would originally be released in July 2020, being accompanied by a new soundtrack album titled Music to Scream To.[4] In an interview to Revolver, Poppy mentioned she and her fiancé at the time, Ghostemane, were working on the tracks for the soundtrack, which would be noise influenced.[5] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the release date underwent several delays, until the book and the soundtrack were both released on October 20, 2020.[3]

Sputnikmusic criticized the album's production, claiming Music to Scream To is a "gimmick", a "marketing ploy" and that "the tracks are just one soulless note after another".[1] Paper noted that its "digital screeches, near-silent stretches and altered ambient noise offer the listener an opportunity for an improvisational shoutalong".[6]
