Bought the CD and have played it twice so far. Honestly, it is not grabbing me right away like their last one did. It's fine, I mean it is new and very good, but it scarcely ever really rocks out. It is dreamy and calm, and thoughtful and well written. But where is the rocking out, the soloing, the fun Metric 'driving force'. How is this one gonna go over live? Oh well, nice to hear Lou Reed on a tune.

I've grown to really love Clone too, even the somewhat forgettable songs from the first few listens seem like classics now. I feel like Synthetica holds a lot more novelty than Fantasies ever could...

Okay I like it a lot more after seeing it live.

I went to go pick up the CD yesterday and there's a sticker on the front that says "featuring Youth Without Youth and Breathing Underwater." Does this just about confirm Breathing Underwater as a second single? I also struck up a conversation with the manager about it and he had absolutely no idea that Lou Reed is featured on The Wanderlust, there was no mention of it when he went and ordered it. They're really not treading on this song, I'm starting to think that they won't release it as a single.

And I also did pick up the CD, the artwork is very neat and I just love the mirrored lyrics. <3

No awesome guitar solos during Synthetica or any other songs... I wish. Just an AMAZING like, probably best guitar solo I've ever seen Jimmy do during GGG. And of course Monster Hospital.

Emily doesn't sing every 'A SCREAM BECOMES A YAWN' line in the song live... which made me really sad, because I thought it'd be such a good like, audience-singing-all-together-line. Oh wellll.

Youth Without Youth sucks live. I guess a guitar solo would make it a bit better. It didn't help that Emily's mic kept cutting out during YWY - it just made it look like she forgot the lyrics and had to start singing from a different verse.
