In the land of our neighbors to the north there exists a a fine balance of good and evil (think of Neo and Agent Smith canceling each other out). They give us Rush then kick us in the face with Celine, our ears bleed listening to Three Days Grace and Bare Naked Ladies then are sutured up with some Sum 41 and Avril (sorry guilty pleasure). It seems that Metric is Canada's answer to Nickleback, yeah, they are THAT good. Their fourth album, Fantasies (2009), is a continuation of their tried and true recipe of 1 part catchy chorus, synth laden fun (Help I'm Alive) and 1 part melodic late night driving songs (Collect Call).
As this is my first post, I will give my format some introduction. I will say very little about the band (I have no music background other than listening to a lot of it, plus you probably don't care) and then give you some music to listen to because that is why we are here.
The breakdown:
-Hook: One of the band's accessible songs (often a single)
-Line: Something that will get you a little more interested
-Sinker: Often my favorite song, but may take a few listenings to get it (think first time you heard Weezer - Say it Ain't So)
Metric:
Hook: The Police and the Private - Live It Out
Line: Dead Disco - Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?
Sinker: Waves (B-Side) - Fantasies
