    The Birthday Party-esque clamour of Spit You Out further shows what Metz are capable of when they ease off the accelerator. [Jun 2015, p.87]

    It's all proves Metz are poppy and punky, but they're also so squealing and Bleach-era Nirvana-heavy that you still need a sturdy ear to handle them. [2 May 2015, p.53]

    METZ's sophomore album "II" is more or less the same as their self-titled debut record.

    If you enjoy heavy hard rock, with some post-punk and grunge influence thrown into the mix, then you might have to give this record a shot.

    The instrumentation is on point. The vocals are still as raw and powerful as they always were. Plus, the band never overstays their visit, as the album is only around 30 minutes long.

    While METZ might be dwelling in their comfortzone for a bit too long, they still bring forth a string of banging songs on II.
