Metric: "Grow Up and Blow Away"

This is really the original album that Metric was going to release first. They put it off because their sound had changed a bit. Yes, they ended up having a grittier sound then what is offered here, but that's not to say that you can't see the brilliance of the band here. Emily Haines delivers the lyrics with grace and bite all at once. I am a fan of Metric because of their strange and wonderful chord changes that are not predictable what so ever. I find myself amused with every listen of their material. This album shows their roots and is a must have. "On The Sly" is one of their best in my opinion. It shows how clever this band truly is. Justice is served. You are everything, you are nothing at all.
