Metric - Fantasies

Metric-"Fantasies"
Release Date-April 14, 2009

Metric’s latest album, Fantasies is the band’s first venture in nearly four years. During that time away, it seems they have created a great sound with danceable beats. Fantasies is a perfect album for getting ready and going out on the town. It starts with the song “Help I’m alive” and hooks the listener right in. From there the album only gets better.

Most of the time danceable albums do not often translate into ones that can be listened to over and over again, but Metric seems to have accomplished this as well. The lyrics are impressionable enough to make the listener interested, but it’s the instrumental music that make the album worthwhile. This is especially true in the song, “Twilight Galaxy”, which slows down and really allows the listener to hear what Metric has been working on.

The two best songs on Fantasies have to be “Sick Muse” and “Gold Guns Girls.” “Sick Muse” just mixes everything that’s right with the album into one four minute eargasm. Meanwhile, “Gold Gun Girls” has that great seventies vibe and makes you feel like you should be getting ready to go to a disco. While every song has something good about it, these two are definitely my faves.

Overall, Fantasies is a one of the better albums to come out in 2009 so far. It is sure to be added to the springtime playlists that are blared at stoplights. Maybe you’ll hear it at some barbeque and Metric and their intoxicating album Fantasies will entice you too.
