ghOsty Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Anyone else on this forum a fan of Metric? I'm kinda a newcomer to them, but after hearing the recent single "Youth Without Youth" on the radio a lot lately I started getting into it. I decided to check out the full album. About 1/3 of the way through my first listen through now and I'm enjoying it. I'm not usually really big on female fronted bands, but I really like their sound. Cool blend of synths and live instruments into indie-rock with a slightly shoegaze-ish edge on some songs. I'll probably end up looking into more of their previous works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I love Metric but this album is not very good by comparison to their older material Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghOsty Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 What would you reccomend of their older stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I think Live It Out is my favorite Metric album. Basically I recommend you get their first three albums, Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?, Live It Out, Grow Up And Blow Away. Fantasies just has a few great tracks but, it's a much better LP than Synthetica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghOsty Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Hmm I shall look into them then and prepare for enjoyment as I really don't think Synthetica is all that bad, perhaps my opinion will change upon hearing their older works... but until then idk, I like it, maybe it's a grower for long time fans?

Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Possibly, I dunno, I liked their first three albums instantaneously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest A/D Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I love Metric, and have been getting down to Synthetica lately as well. I agree that it's missing a certain edginess from their other stuff, but I think it's a deceptively deep album, beyond all the repeated lyrics and poppy progressions. There are a lot of things about it that get stuck in my head. I guess I'll see how much I still like it in a month, but for now, solid approval. "The scream becomes a yawn/I'll shut up and carry on" is a pretty beautiful phrase, to me . . ++my girlfriend lit the Youth Without Youth video! she is so cool. http://www.mtv.com/videos/metric/788288/youth-without-youth.jhtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
