Grow Up and Blow Away

by: Metric

Release Date September 24, 2007
This is stripped down Metric at their finest. This effort really showcases Emily's dynamic and disarming vocals, which are as sincere and beautiful as ever. Just listen to 'Hardwire' and 'Soft Rock Star' and you'll know what I mean (among others). And Jimmy puts in some interesting counter points in songs like 'The Twist' and the high pitched chorus in 'Rock Me Now' - Emily's sultry talking-mode monologue here is quite enchanting after a few close listens - even though the song is a marked departure from their usual style. 'On the Sly' is back to true Metric form - catchy rhythms and chorus, however, without any jarring interludes they're more well known for (end result being pleasant, but not quite as satisfying). Even though this album was ... Read More:

Live It Out

by: Metric

Release Date July 10, 2006
I'm listening to this for the first time today and I can't believe how good it is.
Just bought it because of Monster Hospital, but there are some real surprises on the rest of the album. Really intelligent guitar work, reminds me of Graham Coxon. Brilliant.

Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?

by: Metric

Release Date
Although the whole of this album is wonderful, and I like every song apart from 'On a slow night', I am surprised that so far everyone has failed to mention what I think is undoubtedly one of Metric's best songs - 'Hustle Rose'. Maybe it's just my taste in music, but this song sounds absolutely amazing when turned up loud on your mp3 and you can just relax and let it carry you away.
Other favourites include 'Calculation Theme', 'Succexy' and 'The List'.
If you have Metric's latest release, 'Live it Out', buy this immediately, if not, buy it anyway!
