Earth-Angel Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Metric created Fantasies, my heartbreak album of 2010. Still can't listen to it without a quiet sob... but anyway! Absolutely gorgeous album filled with excellent songs from start to finish. I couldn't find the video Batman originally posted, but these aren't the kind of songs to make you dance. They make you think and listen, definitely more lie on your bed with your headphones on and the volume up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombre Vivante Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Kinda modern-day Garbage with a mix of... Placebo and Ladytron?! "Help I'm Alive" sounds like something Ladytron would do. I'm incorrigible, so I always need another point of reference to understand. Metric's "Collect Call" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejeOYIOHa3s Until now, I was livin' on ELO's "Telephone Line" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTurtle Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I love Metric! I saw them a couple months ago with Muse and it was freaking amazing! I especially love the acoustic version of Help I'm Alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 You are #*&%#@$ kidding me! Metric AND Muse at the same show? *faints* I would've killed to be there!!! Collect call is the song I just crumble at... If the fire's out baby, how're you gonna keep me warm? Supposing you let me, with the door wide open no one can leave I know its a lie, I want it to be true The rest of the ride is riding on you Over goodbyes we'll buy some place For wishing you could Keep me closer, I'm a lazy dancer, when you move I move with you If somebody's got soul...You've got to make them move I know it's a lie, I want it to be true The rest of the ride is riding on you Over goodbyes we'll buy some place For wishing you could Keep me closer, I'm a lazy dancer, when you move I move with you *sigh* Guess when it's over you just have to accept it's over eh. Love - who needs it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombre Vivante Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I'll buy the album sometime before the year ends and check into this further. Right now, I'm debating on whether to get the regular album for 10USD or get the album with the extra tracks at 15USD. I'd hate to miss on some hot b-side, but I'd also hate to pay more for extra tracks I wouldn't dig. It'd be much easier if this was Suede or kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I'd recommend a listen to any album before purchasing on Spotify (But of course, I recommend you buy this one anyway ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombre Vivante Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 I'm definitely getting the album. I just don't know if I should buy the special edition with the extra tracks/b-sides or if the regular album will suffice. Hey, Angel, you've also heard Saint Etienne, right? I recently bought a compilation of their singles and videography, which is quite good. It don't hurt the frontgirl is cute either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be much easier if this was Suede or kent I have the one with the bonus tracks and it is freakin' great! I really liked every track. It's one of the few I have that I can listen to straight through without skipping a track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was quite amazing. I was in the front row in the center. And my friend works at the place where they were playing so I got VIP tickets. Which came with a back stage meet and greet. I didn't really talk to the guys from Muse too much. But I did have a nice chat with Emily Haines from Metric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
