All Music Guide

The debut album by Canadian new wave-influenced indie rockers Metric was released in 2003. Over the years, thanks to the band's successful touring and subsequent releases (all of which have been well received), the album went gold in the band's home country. A solid debut, the album features fan favorites such as "Hustle Rose" and "The List." For fans of later Metric work, such as the stellar Fantasies, this makes for necessary listening.
