    Short review;

    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    Short review;

    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.

    It feels like they’ve found a way to channel attitude into songs that are more powerful and compelling.

    II is looser and fuzzier than its predecessor.... one of 2015's standout records. [No. 120, p.56]

    On its primally satisfying second album, II, it plays with punk attitude, hardcore discipline and construction-site volume. That all adds up to a glorious rumble, and a fetishistic one as well.
