Product Description

Amazon.ca

Toronto's Metric has the ability to appeal to fans on a number of levels: the group captures the likeability of Elastica with the cheekiness of Blondie and then mixes that new wave style with just enough of a growling guitar to give it some oomph. Since their last release, the acclaimed Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?, Metric's sound has morphed slightly; this follow-up is a little more guitar-based and slightly less electronic than their last, a move likely to broaden their fan base even further.

Metric's rock-meets-new-wave is not only timely, it is joyful to boot. The driving track "Handshakes" could easily qualify for the next ipod commercial, while "Monster Hospital"'s retro punk style has a Clash-inspired chorus that will stay in your head for days. By the same token, the band's musical diversity is especially evident in the beautiful "The Police and the Private," where one could easily imagine that they are listening to an up-tempo Sarah Harmer track. Metric's cross-genre appeal is at least party due to frontwoman Emily Haines' delivery. A smart writer and performer, Haines' contributions to the Broken Social Scene collective have already made her voice somewhat familiar, and in her own element she shines especially bright. From her delicate whispers (the Pink Floyd-esque "Ending Start") to her Eurotrash-inspired yelps ("Live It Out") Haines has the "it" factor that makes indie rock critics swoon, and keeps fans dedicated. --Denise Sheppard

5.0 out of 5 stars Metric knows how to cut them, Mar 17 2006
By MildSeven (Montreal, Quebec) - See all my reviews
I got in to Metric with their previous album "Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?" and I thought it would have been har to follow up on that...Yet somehow they did it. "Live It Out" is a fantastic album. The more I listen the more I love. Synth-Rock at it's Best... def. a must own CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars So Good It Hurts, Mar 16 2006
By A Customer
I had honestly never heard of Metric until about a month ago when they stopped at Muchmusic. They completely blew me away. The lead singer's voice can range from soft whispers to an edgier tone, it can reflect the innocence of the earlier works of Britney Spears and the sharpness of Ashlee Simpson. Except that, of course, the lead singer's voice is not trashy at all like the former two people mentioned. There are songs on this cd that are fun, sad, and just plain awesome.

Empty: slow start, but the chorus is amazing, The guitar solo hurt my eras at first but you have to get used to it.

Glass Ceiling: immediately became my favourite song. It's the singer's voice that does it all.

Hand$hake$: another one of the awesome trio. It's edgy.

Too Little Too Late: one of those slow songs you can listen to when you have a headache.

Poster OF A Girl: many people's favourite, it has a very catchy rhythm.

Monster Hospital: absolutely amazing as well. It's a fast song compared to some of the others

Patriarch On A Vespa: love the ending. Slow song.

The Police And The Private: very, very catchy tune. Its wordplay completely captivates you.

Ending Start: I stil haven't gotten the hang of this song yet...it's fairly slow, but the lyrics are amazing.

Live It Out: catchiness to the max. It's the kind of song you could have stuck in your head for weeks.

Basically, Metric is NOT mainstream, which makes me very happy. If you're tired of all the rap crap the radio stations play, listen to this!

4.0 out of 5 stars 4 stars blah, Feb 26 2006
By A Customer
Like the first Metric CD, it took me some time to listen to it and actually like it. It took longer this time because the songs were more hard. Soft then hard. Lol but anyways. I reallly like this cd! i can't compare it to the first one because i forgot a couple of the songs due to losing the cd with all songs.
Songs i like :
Police and the Private(love how it progresses),
Empty,
Glass Ceiling(Only do what i'm told. love it),
Monster Hospital(I fought the war but the war won't stop for the love of god, shit i love the way she sings and sings that part but i don't care for the topic),
Live It Out,
Poster of a Girl(Love this song. singing: poster of a girl for a really long time = funn)
Handshakes (like the near ending bit of it)
I was watching the video Poster of a Girl on The Wedge when i decided, you know what, i'm going to listen to Metric. Did the singer dye her hair? She kinda reminds me of Winowa Ryder. Totally botched up that actress's name.

This album is shockingly bad. Old World... was surprisingly good, but not fantastic. These guitar based songs are just common alternative rock garbage. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars solid effort
This cd is a slight departure from past efforts by Metric, mostly because of the lack of synth, in favour of more guitar-driven tracks. Read more
