Smart, sexy, politicized dance rockers Metric want to make you think, want to make you move, and want to make you fuck. Their beats are blood pumping, their lyrics deliberate, and their message clear: Life is not a passive thing, so get off your ass. Stimulate yourself — physically, intellectually, politically — fight off the lethargy.
Nowhere is this message more fiercely delivered than in their second album, Live It Out. Packing the same spunky, synth-rock punk punch as their 2003 debut, Old World Underground, Where Are You Now, Live It Out features a more courageous, experimental Metric capable of carrying a wider range of tempos with the same penetrating lyrics and electrifying vocals in their addictive dichotomy of electronic and traditional rock. Both hauntingly vulnerable and in-your-face edgy, Live it Out emerges as Metric’s mission accomplished — a jumpstarting ten-track album guaranteed to shake you up, sex you up, and pierce you to your core.
