Review
"Art of Doubt," Metric's seventh studio album, dropped in 2018, and let's just say, it's a blast of indie rock goodness. Produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen, this album mixes indie rock with a pop flair, focusing heavily on guitar and bass. Critics dug it, slapping it with an average score of 73 on Metacritic, which ain't too shabby!
The album kicks off with "Dark Saturday," bringing all the gritty vibes right from the start. It's followed by gems like "Love You Back," "Now or Never Now," and the self-titled track "Art of Doubt." Emily Haines' vocals are, as always, fierce and commanding, perfectly matched with the band's killer ability to crank out anthemic rock bangers.
What really stands out about "Art of Doubt" is Metric's commitment to their unique sound, eschewing the latest trends to stay true to their vibe. The production is sleek and polished, delivering a big, expansive sound that's a treat for the ears. While some folks might grumble about the album's length or its dives into social commentary, most agree it's a solid addition to Metric's line-up. With its mix of catchy tunes and deep lyrics, this album's definitely worth spinning. - Madi
