As a very long time Metric fan, I was a bit underwhelmed by this album after the initial shock of "new Metric!!!" wore off. Doesn't touch their other releases, but still got some nice tracks.

omg an entire ten comments in a row from people who like this album! but I still can't listen to it without being afraid of the anti-Fantasies old-time true Metric fans with their ravaging monster claws of hate! so instead I'm going to go to bed and hide from them under the covers! and maybe listen to Soft Rock Star!
