Okay, so my dad got me into Metric a few weeks ago when he asked me to burn him a copy of Fantasies(2009). He told me I might like them, so I listened to them. They. are. great.

Okay, well, if you've ever listened to Garbage, and listened to these guys, you can totally tell it's a Garbage rip-off. (That's a good thing.) And when I say rip-off, it's not one of those things where you listen to it and it's just totally pathetic, and trying to be something, but not working. No, whatever Metric is doing, it's definitely working.

Anyway, like I said, this band shows a gigantic resemblance to Garbage. So, this is kind of a blend of 80's new wave, and 90's alt-rock. Basically, like Garbage. But, there's also parts that show the bands influences,The Cars, Blondie, and Missing Persons.

Also, the amazing thing about this band, to my knowledge, none of them live anywhere near each other. So, what they'll do is they'll work out their songs across the country, just sending stuff back and forth with each other over the internet, with mp3's and what-have-you. Then, when they're ready, everyone'll come together in a big studio and record an album. I think that's pretty cool, not only that Metric can do it and sound great, but in general. No one from my dad's generation could have done that stuff at my age. Well, not that anyone in Metric is my age, but you get the point.

Okay, so, before I start rambling, basically I want to sum up Metric in a few words. A thin line between techno(the good kind) and alternative rock(again... good kind), with dreamy synth-pop melodies(once again, I repeat myself. The good kind.)

You have to listen to this. I swear it sounds scarily like Kim Deal-
