Alex Metric - Head Straight ep





In this, Alex Metric's fourth ep he continues to explore the ground of making great fun electro pop without getting too self indulgent. This four track sampler to go with his highly anticipated album has some great highlights. The single Head Straight is actually pretty weak, its very non offensive pop, which I guess is what he is all about but it doesn't really anything for me. Metric has some real talent and that is shown a lot more in track two, 'What Now' where he ditches the poor vocals and concentrates more on the electro. This sounds so much better, the same with track three 'Shirley, You Can't Be Serious,' it is much more loud, aggressive and is well worth a listen.
