Metro Station isn't bad but it's young and it's lyrics show it. I feel like I am a little too old to appreciate this album, but a crowd of 14-year-olds would be all over this band.
The final song, "Disco" absolutely drove me crazy! It was almost painful to force myself to listen to the whole thing to give it a fair chance. I hate the little adlibs in this song; for some reason I couldn't stand them. I think that's what ruined the song for me…you know, other than the crappy lyrics, of course.
If the bands Hellogoodbye and Motion City Soundtrack had a baby, Metro Station would be the end result. It's danceable and fun and that's pretty much all this entire album has to offer.
If you're into Boys Like Girls and Hellogoodbye you'll love this album. Otherwise you'll want to stab yourself in the ear with a sharp object; it would be less painful than sitting through these 10 tracks, only one of which is decent.
Cyrus has a good voice and it is a very young band. It has the potential to grow and develop. It's not bad - it's just not my musical taste.
I would, however, be interested in seeing it live … it's probably tons of fun.
Musso said, "We want our shows to be like giant parties," and I guess you can't go wrong with that motto. It will be touring with Motion City Soundtrack this fall, so check it out.
