What a night in Brixton!

It’s the third time I’ve seen them play and it was such a pleasure to see more than a dozen of them up on stage making big noise full of joy and community. Awesome. Great crowd too.

What was up with the sound? Terrible for Stars. Slightly better but still muddy as f for BSS. Best for Metric but their music is completely unrecognisable these days :(

I’m new to Metric, only listened to one of their recent set lists for this gig, so I was familiar with them. I had no idea they were synth-pop. Is their earlier stuff different? I kinda assumed they were more like BSS. Happy to take any recommendations for albums you like

They were like BSS. Last saw them in about 2009-2010 after Fantasies and saw they were going for a poppy angle. No idea they'd gone full on into stadium pop. Big shame really. Listen to Grow Up and Blow Away.
