Reportedly a darker record - don't expect pop hits like 1,2,3,4.
And now to address the break-dancing, earbud-wearing, silhouetted elephant in the room: there's no "1234" on this record. In fact, though it's by no stretch a difficult album, Metals feels deliberately uninterested in courting pop audiences or crafting easy hooks, which is why it feels like such a refreshing and slyly badass statement of artistic integrity. At the same time, this is also the reason it doesn't reach The Reminder's heights. It's a bit too even-keeled to incorporate the sense of pastiche that made her earlier two records so exciting.

Just a few songs that catch your attention : A commotion, How come you don't go there, and the circle married the line. I would imagine this is playing at just about every Starbucks in town. Album could use a little more caffeine though!
