Full Review: Metro Station - Self Titled

Is There such a thing as ’serious fun’? Metro Station’s new self titled record is like a joke being told with a semi-straight face. It’s a party, masked as just a few friends hanging out.

The record is a mix between The Get Up Kids “On A Wire” and an older New Amsterdams album. Despite comparing “At The Foot Of My Rival” to old albums, it is a step forward for the band.
