Metric – Fantasies [Streaming]

Metric‘s album “Fantasies” provides a great insight into the album’s sound, evolution, and individual tracks.
It’s always exciting when a long-awaited album finally gets released, and it seems like “Fantasies” brought a different flavor compared to their previous works.

The shift towards an indie rock/pop feel, as opposed to the new wave rock sound from their debut album, is a notable change. It’s interesting how artists evolve their sound over the years, and your observation about the presence of that Metric pop new wave sound in tracks like “Gimme Sympathy” shows that some elements have persisted.

The choice of “Help I’m Alive” as the leading single and the preference for the album version over the radio edit highlight the importance of the full album experience. The energetic vibe of “Sick Muse” and the explicit language in “Satellite Mind” add dynamic elements to the overall listening experience.

Mentioning the exposure through “Grey’s Anatomy” is noteworthy, showcasing the potential for increased visibility and success in the USA. The impact of such placements in popular TV shows can indeed play a role in reaching a broader audience.

Fantasies captures the album’s variety, from high-energy tracks like “Sick Muse” to mellow ones like “Collect Call” and “Blindness.” The mention of the album’s lyrical quality and singability adds another layer to its appeal.

Time will tell how “Fantasies” will be received in the long run, and it’s always fascinating to see how an album grows and resonates with fans over time.
