'Grow Up and Blow Away' and 'Old World Underground, Where Are You Now' are their best two albums. 'Live It Out' is an interesting but sort of different style for the most part that reminds me of other bands. Kind of a raw, angsty feel to many songs. Third best for me. 'Fantasies' produced some good tracks but it's hard for me to listen to the whole thing because it's so "in-your-face" like a lot of pop music is these days. Certainly they became more poppy around that time, but you can still sense their old Metric DNA seeping through. I think I like 'Synthetica' more than their previous effort. It seems more varied, perhaps, and a little more true to their core and growth as a band. So 'Synthetica' is fourth for me and 'Fantasies' fifth, I am saying just now. I can't decide between the top two because they are both so good. I admit that I have not even heard the latest one because I wasn't following Metric for a while. Listening to it soon...
@@miles9421 It's better than Fantasies, not as good as Pagans in Vegas. But now that I look back at my comment from years ago here, I see I was being somewhat judgmental about newer efforts, as if the older material is inherently better and the "truer" version of the band. That's not how I feel now, and I actually welcome artists changing with the years and trying some new things. I have a bias that ties me nostalgically to the music of my junior high and high school years, and in Metric terms, that is only the works through Live It Out.
Just realized how Cardigans-like Metric can sound. Such sweet sorrow. Also a bit of Breeders and Magic Dirt at times. Have stumbled upon them way too late in my life.
I was listening to this when I was 15 years old back in 2009 with one of my friends that I unfortunately, am not seeing anymore. This reminds me of her and I still miss her

musique et album rempli de souvenirs!! on écoutait cet album en famille quand j’étais jeune. pendant les longues heures de trajet en voiture, pour aller voir mes cousins/cousines. toujours un plaisir d’écouter metric qui a bercée ma jeunesse !
All of 2010 I listened to this album, and Gravel and Wine by Gin Wigmore over and over. I kinda forgot about it until All Comes Crashing came out. I love how different all of their albums are from each other.

![Metric - No Lights on the Horizon - Art of Doubt [Official Audio]](/img/1.gif)
I love this era of Metric's music. Amazing.
'Grow Up and Blow Away' and 'Old World Underground, Where Are You Now' are their best two albums.
'Live It Out' is an interesting but sort of different style for the most part that reminds me of other bands. Kind of a raw, angsty feel to many songs. Third best for me.

Dude, the most recent album is AMAZING... Metric and QotSA are my top two bands bar none
@@AureliusR Sweet. ...Like Clockwork is perhaps a perfect rock album.
@@Karpify how would you rate Art Of Doubt with all of these?

My sister (she’s 10 years older than me) shown me this song when I was 7, I’m turning 19 this year and I’m still in love with it
wait literally same my sister showed my when i was 7 and shes 22 years older
I am obsessed with this song for some reason!
Just realized how Cardigans-like Metric can sound. Such sweet sorrow. Also a bit of Breeders and Magic Dirt at times. Have stumbled upon them way too late in my life.
i wonder what metric would have sounded like if they continued to make music in the same vein.

When this video ends, my brain cues up Rock Me Now because I'm so used to going through the album
SAME
THIS
[Verse 1: Emily Haines]
Giving for chances to leave the basement life
I'm not the landlord's wife
Furnished room
Celebrate the first flight window
Bird's eye view
[Pre-Chorus: Emily Haines]
You hardwire, I'll try to play the guitar
Stay smoothly stoned, postpone the morning
Though we both see it coming, we don't run
Let the silence settle in our bones
[Chorus: Emily Haines]
You are everything
You are nothing at all
You are everything
You are nothing at all
You are every night
Fade to light
Fade to light the room
Daylight writes a new light on you
[Verse 2: Emily Haines]
Giving for chances to take it all in stride
Why'd we walk a broken line of minus signs?
[Pre-Chorus: Emily Haines]
You hardwire, I'll try to play the guitar
Stay smoothly stoned, postpone the morning
Though we both see it coming, we don't run
Let the silence settle in our bones
[Chorus: Emily Haines]
You are everything
You are nothing at all
You are everything
You are nothing at all
You are every night
Fade to light
Fade to light the room
Daylight writes a new light on you
[Bridge: James Shaw]
You leave your eyes there for me to memorise
I can see you happy in the shadows I despise
[Outro: Emily Haines]
You hardwire
I'll try to play the guitar
You hardwire
I'll try to play the guitar
You hardwire
I'll try to play the guitar
You hardwire
I'll try to play the guitar

I love this song my boyfriend is learning the bass and when I get my keyboard out of the pawnshop we'll do a right cover :)
You get your keyboard back yet?
@@JBee-hi7ur I did indeed 🤣 but it broke. Now I have an old school 2 deck organ 😎
I used to listen to this when I wasn't biking with my friend Haley.
Metric, You are AMAZING!
Favorite metric song ever. Still a banger after all these years. Mushrooms made it so.
The music made it so. But the mushrooms definitely helped (y)
Avante-pop at it's finest.
All of 2010 I listened to this album, and Gravel and Wine by Gin Wigmore over and over. I kinda forgot about it until All Comes Crashing came out. I love how different all of their albums are from each other.
That ending is pure bliss, could drop it at the dancefloor and everyone would go nuts
Their most Cardiganesque song of all.
poingant
yeah
This song is so cute!
Check out the lyrics. It's anything but.
Lost Kitten: "Hold my beer"
😬
Giving for chances to
Leave the basement life
And not the landlord's wife.
Furnished room
Celebrate the first flight window
Bird's eye view.
You hardwire
I'll try to play the guitar.
Stay smoke is gone
Pass by the morning
Though we both see it coming
We don't run.
Let the silence settle in our bones.
You are everything you are
Nothing at all.
You are everything you are
Nothing at all.
You are every night you fade
To light you fade
To light the room.
Daylight hides a new light on you.
Giving for chances to
Take it all in stride
Why'd we walk a broken line
Of minus signs.
You hardwire
I'll try to play the guitar.
Stay smoke is gone
Pass by the morning
Though we both see it coming
We don't run.
Let the silence settle in our bones.
You are everything you are
Nothing at all.
You are everything you are
Nothing at all.
You are every night you fade
To light you fade
To light the room.
Daylight hides a new light on you.
You leave your eyes there for me to memorize.
I can see you happy in the shadows I despise.
You hardwire
I'll try to play the guitar.
You hardwire
I'll try to play the guitar.
You hardwire
I'll try to play the guitar.
You hardwire
I'll try to play the guitar.
Swooning over this masterpiece ❤️
De alguna forma siempre llego a este disco, aunque esté escuchando shakira
I think that every "era" ,u wanna call it that, of metrics music, are all unique and special, and I don't hate any of them because I just have to be in the right mindset to wanna listen to any of them. Basically it changes by the day/week/month/year. Again this is just my opinion.
💨🍁
Why would we walk a broken path of minus signs.
Wow, so damn cool.
Why the hell do I wanna walk this broken life path of negativity.
Anyone who has an appreciation for poetry must love this band, and everything else about their sound is just a bonus.

For some reason this reminds me of my first love making love in my first apartment
Me transporto a la secundaria
I used to bike while listening to this.
When Metric was weird with a pop twist
3!!
was everyone else introduced this band by their older sibling when they were lil lol
Scott Pilgrim isn't my older sib, but that's the person (fictional) who introduced me Lol
yesyes
Jessica O'Connell cheated in a race that we did together one time. Also one time I invented dance to go with this Depeche Mode Song that I heard.
