Everything Is Chrome In The Future CD

Out Of Stock

“This release is pretty impressive, especially considering how big a sound this band has, being only a three-piece. METROPLEX remind me heavily of a mix between the swiftness of LIFETIME and the scratchy, heartfelt vocals of HOT WATER MUSIC. Sharp, but not overly polished production allows these guys to push forward with a decent thump, even during some of the most passive moments. A few stabs are raw aggression break through the solid agenda, which surely helps METROPLEX from becoming somewhat monotnous. Stark, expressive lyrics fit the style of the band, furthering the comparisons to HOT WATER MUSIC, as more than just in music, but in spirit and soul. At 41 minutes long, “Everything is Chrome in the Future,” is a tad deep for just 10 songs, however, the final track takes up a good chunk of that, pushing eight minutes. The artwork and overall packaging design is ultra slick, and worthy of oogling over. Not a bad thing at all to say about this release.”
