Oct 4, 2011A beautiful assembly of songs that manages to skip back and forth between different styles while still feeling entirely coherent, and it ends up all amounting to a gorgeously tragic musical exploration of solitude.

Oct 4, 2011The perfect follow-up to the reminder. There aren't any iPod commercials on this album but it is solid from beginning to end. Feist is making great music. This is an album by someone in it for the long haul, not by a pop princess.

Oct 5, 2011To tell the truth, 1234 is not my favourite song of The Reminder, an album that brought Feist into the stardom. That would be Sealion, Feistâ

Jan 8, 2012Has been almost four years from "The Reminder", but the spirit of the album is still very attached to the Feist's image. But "Metals" came, and it has the greatness needed to succeed her last album. Sounding very dark (as the title says), a little more folk, and with stylish alike Kate Bush, it will be hard to subdue this album in very far years.

Oct 5, 2011At first the album sounded like a fifty-minute-long song. It took some time to grow on me. You won't find any '1234' if that's what you're looking for. But, in my opinion, 'Metals' is definetely a solid album people should expect from Feist. 'The Circle Married the Line' and 'The Undiscovered First' are probably the highlights of this record. Arguably her best album to date.

Jan 3, 2012Metals is darker, more contemplative, heavier, a heady, atomic blend of folk-pop and emotional menace.

Dec 1, 2011On Metals Feist combines the sublime magic of her voice with songs that feature equally strong compositions to render an album that is easily one of the best of the year.

MagnetNov 11, 2011Most of the songs deal with romance in its more dysfunctional guises, but Feist's comforting vocals keep things from getting too forlorn. [#81, p. 54]
