I woke up today, checked my email as usual and there it was, an email from ilovemetric.com telling me I could pre-order Metric’s latest musical masterpiece (I assume it’s a masterpiece because everything else I have heard from them is):
“FANTASIES! The new album from METRIC is now available for pre-order at ilovemetric.com. Order it on vinyl, CD with deluxe hardcover artwork or digital download now and immediately receive MP3s of the extended album version of “Help I’m Alive” plus extra-special bonus tracks. The band has also assembled a limited edition package that is only available at ilovemetric.com while supplies last.
Be the first to get it from us!

Metric: Josh Winstead, Joules Scott-Key, Emily Haines, James Shaw
Metric consists of vocalist Emily Haines (who also plays the synthesizer), guitarist James Shaw, bassist Josh Winstead and drummer Joules Scott-Key. I highly recommend checking out their other recordings dating back to 2001:
- Grow Up and Blow Away
- Live It Out
- Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?
- Static Anonymity
Visit ilovemetric.com and specifically their Store section, give them some of your hard-earned (or not so hard-earned, it really doesn’t matter) cash as they kick-ass musically of course!
