4.0 excellentthebhoy | September 30th 11

Leslie Feist seems to be in total control of this album; it is clear that The Reminder gave her the sort of confidence that infects her song writing. Her melodies seem to strike out at you, instead of bouncing around like they tended to before

3.5 greatErwann S. EMERITUS | March 20th 22

Lovely indie pop carried by Feist' vocal elasticity and gorgeous arrangements. Sometimes tracks meander too much before finally landing on a hook, but when the hooks hit it's a winner.

3.0 goodzaruyache | April 30th 17

There isn't actually any metal on this album. ;_;

3.0 goodsarcasgnostic | October 23rd 13

Strangely primal and ethereally beautiful, but often the album really does seem to drag and leaves the listener wanting a lot more to grab their attention.

4.0 excellentRudy K. EMERITUS | March 1st 12

Oftentimes when artists feel commercial success is threatening their artistic credibility, they may record a
follow-up that often has the simultaneous goal of "getting back to my roots" and "alienating all the posers
who liked me because of that iPod commercial." I'm not entirely convinced that this wasn't Leslie Feist's whole
goal with Metals, an album that has a bleak, unwelcoming landscape as its cover and no candidates to
conveniently slide in next to "1234" at the Starbucks rack. Yet by refusing to kowtow to the single-oriented
modern market and soaking all of Metals in a morose sheen of understated production, Feist has turned the
spotlight back on what always made her a great artist to begin with: her songwriting.

Easily the highlight thus far of Leslie Feist's solo career.
