As I’ve probably mentioned before, I was not terribly happy with Metric’s Formentera album. It had only a couple songs I liked, and even those didn’t really feel like their best work. I was understandably less than thrilled when they released a sequel, Formentera II, a few weeks ago, and sadly, I found it even more disappointing than its forebear.

There’s only one song on this album I like, but on the plus side, it is truly excellent, and a welcome sign that Metric has not yet lost their mojo entirely.
