Description

Canadian indie rockers Metric release their fourth studio album, “Fantasies”, April 7th, 2009. Though the album sounds to be the most polished piece of work the band has produced, they remain loyal to their indie rock roots, keeping in tune with their original sound.  “Fantasies” contains a repertoire of indie rock songs that typically describe Metric’s style on every album they produce:
1)new wave hook-filled singles such as “Help I’m Alive” and “Gimme Sympathy”, synonymous to tunes like “Dead Disco” and “Monster Hospital”
2)slow droning filler like “Twilight Galaxy” much like the “Calculation Theme” and “Ending Start”
3)loud and absent feeling indie rock like “Stadium Love”, reminiscent of most of their other work.
To a fan of Metric or an Indie Rock lover in general, “Fantasies” is a great addition to their collection.  To anyone else, Metric may always just be merely the singles they release on the radio.

Notable Songs:  Help I’m Alive, Sick Muse, Gold Guns Girls
