Awesome. Synthetica was great and "Breathing Underwater" was one of my faves of 2012, interested to see how this'll sound.

Here's a new song they posted back in December:

I wonder if the rest of the album will follow suit.

thanks Pipa, that song is so beautiful (but not radio material sadly) I tried googling "The Shade" & all I can find is THIS thread  |

I like this a lot. I think it has potential to give them their first Top 10 hit here.

Meh. The video was made private. I'm looking forward to hearing this eventually after your good reviews of the song.

Not really looking forward to this. "Youth Without Youth" became irritating after a couple of listens (although "Breathing Underwater" was rather pleasant).

You guys got ripped off south of the border with Metric's breakthrough. Fantasies had 5 singles, and only 2 of them went for US adds, the two that also happened to be the 2 worst songs on the album IMO. (Still don't get the appeal of "Help I'm Alive", and "Gold Guns Girls gets put to shame by "Sick Muse' and "Gimme Sympathy " |

Such an underrated band. "Fantasies" had so many potential monster hits. "Synthetica" wasn't the greatest follow-up but it had it's moments. I really hope they finally have a breakthrough record and aren't forced to go on tour opening up for bands like Paramore again.

Sucks but I couldn't see Bangwave's video. I hope it's along the lines of "Gimmi Sympathy". That's my personal fav of theirs. Others include "Synthetica" and "Lost Kitten" and my introduction to them way back in 03; "Dead Disco".

They definitely deserve more US recognition! |

As for new Metric, hell yes, I'm ready for this. Got to see Metric as the opening act for Muse in 2010, and I've been a big fan ever since. Can't wait for new material from them. |

Overall, I like this a lot. Although, it's no "Combat Baby," "Gold Guns Girls," or "Youth Without Youth" for me. The chorus I could see getting a bit annoying after just a few listens.
I believe if this goes Top 10 on Alternative that it would be their first one?

If it even goes Top *20* on Alternative it'd be their first!
#21, Youth Without Youth
#22, Help I'm Alive
#34, Breathing Underwater
#37, Gold Girls Guns

This is exactly what Dear Rouge's album should have sounded like. God, what a snoozefest that was.

Decent, but I expected better. Maybe it'll grow with more listens, but this doesn't sound like a top 10 alternative hit to me.

I think these are their actual peaks. Help I'm Alive: #17 Gold, Guns, Girls: #16 Youth Without Youth: #15 Breathing Underwater: #11 |

After raping the replay button on the new; All That Remains, song, this was a complete 360 degree turn. I like this. Sounds like an Indie Synth party to me. What's there not to like?

The billboard.biz search is bizarre. I get lots of different results for the same song:
Alternative Metric Youth Without Youth 2012-07-14 #15 17 Metric
Alternative Metric Youth Without Youth 2012-07-14 #21 2 Metric
Alternative Metric Youth Without Youth 2012-07-14 #25 1 Metric
Sorting by peak doesn't work.
