Theres alot to like in Metric's 2nd studio album. Heavily synth driven and full of Emily Haine's personal flair. It makes for a very fine album. Lyrically Haine's seems to have taken an anti war stance. This is clear in songs like Combat Baby Succexy and IOU. All songs with very deliberate lyrics. Not at all does it distract from the album since Haines is excellent with playing these lyrics in metaphor and addressing something without being remotely preachy.
Dead Disco is quite possibly one of the most fantastic pokes at the current state of the music industry, addressing how all these bands these days create music as pieces of dead genres. It is as well, a ridiculously fun song. Combat Baby is an absolutely fun song with very singalongable lyrics and a great chorus.
Among my other favourite tracks include; The List, Wet Blanket, IOU, Succexy. The entire album is great, but those stand out.
