Free Music Notes for Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?

Free Music Review: So much more than just "poppy"!
Hit: 5 Stars

I was first turned onto Metric a few years ago with the hauntingly beautiful "Hustle Rose". I was immediately hooked, and every song on the cd moved up into the top ten most played songs on my iTunes. I am disappointed to read so many reviews calling this cd "catchy", "dance-able", or "fun". While it is all of those things (for sure), it is so much more. The socio-political undertones found in "I.O.U." and "Succexy" are excellent, if you care to look. If not, you will enjoy this album regardless. While I definitely prefer Old World Underground to Metric's newest album, Live it Out, the best album is their first, entitled Grow Up and Blow Away. The progression of rock is seen in the release of these albums. Due to what I think were contractual disagreements, Grow Up and Blow Away was never widely released, but if you can get your hands on a copy, it's worth any price really. While Live it Out is their hardest music to date, and Old World Underground is pretty balanced between rock/chill, Grow Up and Blow Away is a complete relaxation cd. If you can't get enough of Emily Haines voice (believe me, it is exactly the same live - no doctoring for the albums - crystal clear and perfect), check out her solo album recorded some years ago, entitled Cut In Half and Also Double (a little difficult to find also, but worth the money - very coffee shop/folksy) or her new cd coming out on September 26 (it promises mainly chill music - centered around a piano and the ethereal voice of one Ms. Emily Haines). Hope you end up loving Metric and Emily Haines as much as I do!
