Its an okay song. As far as guitar playing goes, this is pretty sloppy at times. That "solo" at 3:22 sounds like Nirvana on meth, and I don't mean that in a good way. Alexi Laiho >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> whoever massacres guitar in Metric.
@Ikoris Saying the guitar solo sounds like Nirvana on Meth I would say is huge compliment... even if you don't mean it that way. This is an awesome song!
@dimpy52 I agree it sounds like an extreme version of "Radio Friendly Unit Shifter" atleast the guitar scratching and the ripping and solo. But in the best way. Improvisation is what "noise" or art rok bands are best at.
How the hell is this like Playing God? The sound of the guitar riff is somewhat similar, but that's literally IT. And Metric can't even have copied Paramore coz this was written several years before Paramore's Brand New Eyes album.
@lovelyjuliet16 is it cuz of the guitar solo intro? other than that, i don't think they sound that similar. they're both unique and different songs, so i don't think they this sounds "just like" Paramore's Playing God
@lovelyjuliet16 actually this song came out some years before Brand New Eyes, so Playing God sounds like this song if anything, and it doesn't even actually, the only similarity is the picking pattern
Imagine if Metric was out during the prime of the Alternative Scene (early 90's), alongside The Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins, Janes Addiction, Nirvana (the list goes on and on). They would be so immortal. Their sound brings me back to those times. I love it.
@RaygunRogue agreed. even tho i loved all those bands at the time, (and still do) i would have loved them more if i knew at the time what was going to happen to music. im just glad the flag still flys with tunes like this.
@nowdropdead - The guitar comes in as a tie-in to the lyric "we couldn't see what was coming." It's startling & dissonant, but that's precisely the point. This song is great.
Man I love this song!!! I'm going thru a depressed stage right now due to life stuff lol and this song is perfect cheer up music becuz it starts off singing the mood I'm in then BAM rock out and I'm smiling... then for cloing it describes how I feel ^^ LOVE METRIC ♥ </3 ♥
I'm surprised that when I typed "Empty" into the search bar I had to also type " Met", they deserve more than that
