Metz- II


Artist: Metz
Album: II
Record Label: Sub Pop
Release Date: 3rd May 2015

Toronto noise-rock trio run the mill with both exhilarating volume and slightly old, one-dimensional resources

Though Canadian trio Metz attack noise-rock with impressive vigour and volume, there's no denying that the formula on 'II' is a well-worn one. Highlights include the opener 'Acetate', a robust, wailing joint completed by nails-on-the-blackboard chilly lyrics like "She's barely breathing/ I'm wading through puddles on the floor". The ravenous punk spirit of 'Nervous System' is exhilarating too, but despite the electricity there's nothing particularly fresh here. 


5/10
