Sleek, restless, and ridiculously catchy, Metric’s 2009 album Fantasies balances shimmering synths and sharp-edged guitars with Emily Haines’ cool, unmistakable vocals. “Help I’m Alive,” “Gimme Sympathy,” and “Gold Guns Girls” turn anxiety, ambition, desire, and disillusionment into polished indie-rock anthems, while quieter moments reveal the vulnerability underneath all that swagger. It’s glossy without feeling overproduced, danceable without losing its bite, and packed with hooks that still hit years later.
A late-2000s indie essential made for nighttime drives, crowded dance floors, and singing along louder than you intended.
