New Album Discussion: Synthetica

[Mojo]

Now that you've had time to let Synthetica sink in has your opinion changed about it? Mine hasn't really. I still think it lacks oomph and don't listen to it much. I can't help but feel like I'm a little over Metric, but hopefully their next album rocks!

I'm still madly in love, it definitely holds true months after it's release. The themes, the songwriting, the melodies, the production, it's still my favorite album released this year because of how important its subject matter is to me. Not to mention seeing it live, that was such an amazing show.

Next I'd like to see them officially release the Reflections version of the album, it sucks just having it on spotify.

Maybe I missed this day of school, but I guess according to Jimmy the reflections are nothing but synthesizers. It sounds like guitar on the reflection versions of Nothing But Time, Speed The Collapse, Youth Without Youth, but there isn't any guitar at all. I love the whole idea of it.

I still adore Metric, but the band has lost some momentum with this album. I wouldn't say I'm "over" Metric…they're still my fav band and I still want to have Emily's babies.

Appeal to the listener? These lyrics hit me hard, not to mention that it's a lot better in contrast to Fantasies. Not as exceptional as GUABA and OWU, but definitely places third for me.

I don't think it's bad, I'm just finding it forgettable. It's just not holding up against everything else that was released so far this year. I even listened to MDNA more than Synthetica... Oh well.
