This is a great album if you already like a couple of Metric songs. In my opinion, the sound quality from Amazon MP3s are better than iTunes. Once you download the Amazon MP3 manager, the songs download, then iTunes program on my computer automatically recognizes the new downloads and then all that's left to do is sync the songs to my iPod. Download this album now!

This has gotten a fair amount of radio play on some stations, but since I rarely listen to radio anymore I'd only heard it a few times and wanted this single for my library. Musically creative with fresh lyrics like "hard to be soft...tough to be tender". I love the industrial opening sequence. Emily Haines has a beautiful voice with excellent range and control. Apparently Metric has two other albums out and has acheived critical acclaim in the home country of Canada. I haven't listened to any of the earlier albums. I'm not sure if the rest of the album "Fantasies" lives up to this song; if I change my mind I'll update. If you don't get the album you should at least get this single.

Great song. I listen to it on loop. It has special impact once you have seen her documentary on its creation.
