Metro Station Debut Mediocre

Abstract:
Metro Station, one of the fastest-growing indie rock bands in America, released their self-titled debut album on Sept. 18, and maybe they should have kept it caged up. The 10-track record is chock-full of syncopated drum beats, tired synth basslines and a weird mixture of tearful lyrics on some tracks, and crazy dance party sing-along hooks on others....

I'm not a big fan of Metro Stations type of music but I have heard most of the songs on the album and think it's better than you're saying it is. I wonder if you wrote about this album only to get your anti-Billy Ray Cyrus dig in. If you really did any research on this group you would know that Billy Ray's sons name is "Trace".

I have ordered Metro Station's CD and am looking forward to it arriving in the mail. I am a BRC fan and although I haven't liked all of the songs I have heard from the band I do enjoy songs like 'Seventeen Forever', 'California', and 'Kelsey'. Metro Station's music has a lot of energy and the guys sound good together. Also like Debbie mentioned, Trace (not Chase) Cyrus is BRC's son and a member of Metro Station.

I agree that they shouldn't of rushed the album and that some of their songs were lacking something. Metro Station is one of my favorite bands though. In your article it says that one of the singers name was "Chase." I just need to point out that it was Trace.

Metro stations songs, although a little hurried, are actually really catchy. For me (as someone who takes lyrical content very seriously) its refreshing to listen to a song and dance around and not pay close attention to frivolous lyrics.

The kids in the band are like, 18 or 19 years old, so no shit theyre gonna write angsty lyrics lol. dont worry about it. Maybe im being bias cuz im pretty close friends with the boys but still, ive been on their side since the demo of dear hannah was brand new. Dont hate, Buy the album =]
