Nov 27, 2012For all its abrasion and denatured noise, Metz isn't a statement of nihilism or finality; it's a bright, exploratory scalpel making the first of hopefully many incisions.
-
Oct 18, 2012This is an album that sounds fresh despite having its roots firmly planted in the post-hardcore/pre-grunge era.
-
Oct 24, 2012Metz [have] easily made one of the finest and most ferocious punk albums in years on this sledgehammer of a debut.
-
Oct 8, 2012Metz deliver the same righteous anger that informed much of their favourite music in the early '90s.
-
Oct 9, 2012It's a real relief, then, to hear METZ's self-titled debut, a tight set of 10 gut-punch punk songs that, in 30 minutes, delivers the type of catharsis we've been lacking.
-
Oct 8, 2012METZ is pulverizing, but in an artistic, superior way; the Canada-based trio balance noise, aggression and tact expertly.
-
Oct 9, 2012Thirty minutes of METZ feels more like hard work than fun playtimes, and the sameness of the venture underscores the futility of whatever it is they're trying to accomplish, which falls somewhere between "artist defending bowel movement on a gallery floor" and "third demo tape by an up-and-coming new band."
