Surprised this has such a high rating. I find the refrain a bit obnoxious to the ears.

You can listen to most of the tracks on this album at the band website. And pretty damn good they are too. Another discovery courtesy of RP, and another debit on my plastic. 9 from the entranced Nottingham jury.

Well, I'd like to say that speaks volumes... but, clearly it doesn't! Hah!

Ha!  Not in Canada, though... We use Metric and SAE interchangeably, at least lots of folks do.  When I talk to people in Europe, they can't believe we use metric for a whole bunch of stuff, but our entire building trade is based in feet and inches.  I tend to use Celcius temperature measurement in the winter, and switch to Farhenheit during the summer.  We use Imperial measures for smaller length measurements (darts, horseshoes, sexual organs), and Metric for longer things, although lots of folks use miles, or a combination, depending on the circumstances.

This is far from "thinking (wo)man's music" but it's a fun album anyway.  Not much depth, but energy, passion, and a simple poppish goodness that tugs at the ear in all the best ways.

This album is so good. It really strikes the right balance for me in terms of raw rock, atmosphere, and melody. Love it.

Love this one, not so thrilled by some of Metric's other output - any recommendations on similar Metric tunes would be much appreciated!
