Full review

Metric is a Canadian New Wave/indie rock band. The band vocalist is Emily Haines who has an unusual, extraordinary voice. "Fantasies" consists of 10 songs:
1. "Help, I'm Alive"
2. "Sick Muse"
3. "Satellite Mind"
4. "Twilight Galaxy"
5. "Gold Guns Girls"
6. "Gimme Sympathy"
7. "Collect Call"
8. "Front Row"
9. "Blindness"
10. "Stadium Love"

All songs have a similar sound to them, but you will find that you'll have this album on repeat as Emily's hypnotic voice really captures your attention and makes you pay mroe attention to the lyrics- which are very clever.

My personal favourite is "Help I'm Alive", the song is very celever and catchy and has a feel-good feel to it. I also know that Blink 182 bassist and vocalist Mark Hoppus is a big fan of Metric and he himself has posted Metric Album demos on his website.

I would reccomend this album, as it is a strange, different sound of music and very enjoyable.

Additional notes

Album Notes: Led by the vocals and synth of Emily Haynes, Metric (part of Toronto's Broken Social Scene scene) continue to bring the pepped-up indie power pop on third record, 2009's FANTASIES.

Album Reviews: Spin (p.80) - "Ever the empathizer, Haines calmly untangles her characters' despair, whether it's over the quietly pulsing 'Collect Call' or the driving electro rock of 'Satellite Mind.'"
Entertainment Weekly (p.59) - "[Metric] amp up the melodies on their fourth album, tapping synthed-out industrial beats to vent their frustrations about the state of modern affairs." -- Grade: B+
Alternative Press (p.112) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "FANTASIES flows seamlessly from song to engaging song....It's a layering of everything Metric have created in the past with a sense of immediate passion."
Rolling Stone (p.72) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Emily Haines delivers big refrains and spiky hooks, cooing about love on 'Sick Muse' and going dark on 'Help I'm Alive'..."
Q (Magazine) (p.127) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "It's an accomplished act of reconfiguration, brimful of potential singles, chiefly the tub-thumping 'Stadium Love' and 'Gimme Sympathy'..."
Pitchfork (Website) - "[T]here is a dreamy quality here that eschews the vague, easy rhymes and lyrical polemics of past Metric records in favor of romance and sex."
