This isn’t the breakthrough album that nobody expected. This is precisely the album everyone was waiting for from Metric, a culmination of all their strengths and a slicing off of the fat that may have slowed them down in the past.
-
The complex emotional duality of the disc is nothing less than penetrating. Most of the tracks are danceable as well as lonesome, and can be enjoyed in a variety of settings.
-
They’ve certainly lost none of the delicious oddball energy that comfortably pitches their carefree electronic and romance-heavy tunes as the work of a lounge Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
-
The first three tracks build with effortless new-wave energy, making Fantasies an album you’d want to listen to while pre-drinking.

FilterFanatsies may not have "Live It Out's" fire, but it smolders just fine, thank you very much. [Spring 2009, p.92]
-
Fantasies is a welcome return, but it's not without flaws.
-
While it continues Metric's new-wave/loud-rock amalgam, the songs themselves fail to leave much of an impact.

CAJul 25, 2009One of the best releases of 2009. A perfect blend of indie rock and electropop. Love more and more with each listen. Not a skipper here.
