Saw you in Paris…. Was amazing 🤩

It's pretty rare for a band that's been around 20+ years to be making music even better than the stuff that made them famous. But Metric pulls it off. Their music is actually getting better with time. It's crazy. Amazing song.

its funny because Its one of my favorite band but I think exactly the opposite way : for me, the last masterpiece was fantasies. Every albums before were crazy awesome. Synthetica was pretty strong too. Albums are getting slightly worse since (even if I loved dark saturday and dressed to suppress on the last one and I think thats all). But Its great that people got vibes and chills with their "electropop side" 😄 enjoy it bros, its a magnificent band.

This is cool to see, but over the years I continue to have this feeling that Metric doesn't connect internally since blowing up post live it out. Those first 3 records of theirs are much more honest and musically intricate IMHO! But don't let me sway you, enjoy what you do!

Notice the song evolves from pessimism to optimism. Goes from cold sadness to a warm cradling hug. She has this ability to reach in and grab your heart and pull you in for a warm embrace.

We saw them in Brooklyn this post November and they started out with this song. I'm used to Metric making me get all teary-eyed with the last song of the night, ("Gimme Sympathy," "Live It Out,") so I figured they'd end with "Doomscroller." Nope, first song out of the gate, it was that one and I just started bawling at "Come back to yourself from the battle..."

I remember ‘Combat Baby’ in the Rock Band video game that’s when I was first introduced to the band in the early 2005’s Emily Haines and her band just didn’t have appeal yet I was one of those people who didn’t really trust her style because she sucked live and I thought she was somewhat bias towards some kind identity I didn’t agree with cause I’m a guy It was not until Scott Pilgrim came out that they started getting more attention and recognition because before that you had other female 🧜‍♀️ mermaid siren competitors like Paramore, Sleigh Bells, Evanescence, The Pretty Reckless, and yeah yeah yeahs and it was overshadowing metric Her and her band got there writing and style much better since Scott Pilgrim and that Combat Baby album Old World Underground Where are you now so now that writings better and they’ve been able to change sound often for critics to say nice things and Emily is much more mature since I watch the interviews I can confirm the band sounds better than most music now not even Billie Eilish or Paramore or Pretty Reckless I like Cryoshell I wish they would get the recognition they deserve The different style is that they gotten rid of there selfish worldly view and promote unity that is very important when making music Marilyn Manson was one those people that had take the time to figure that out For example Ed Sheeran figured it out immediately

This song makes me feel things I don't think I'm ready to feel. I don't even have the words. It's a masterpiece.

They opened the show in Toronto with this. It was a sublime experience.

I have been listening to this song a lot since it dropped. What a masterpiece. It’s been a really strange few years, hasn’t it? Pretty scary what we’re all capable of doing to each other and ourselves. Doomscrolling was a way to self soothe and maybe feel like I had some control over what was happening to me and the world at large. Let’s hope we can all come back to ourselves.

Regardless to how well this song does, you should definitely be proud of this one, it is something really special, with great lyrics and interesting transitions. This song is the crem de le crem, something that is definitely special and better than most music in general.

Might be the best Metric's ever sounded, and lyrically intensely focused and tight.

That's amazing how you evolve! By looking outside of your original genre, with the vision you developed through the years of expierence, you're like musical sculptors - you take the material and cut away the extras. Your music make me cry every time. Sometimes for the rapture of beauty I've never had or words words that have never been spoken to me and sometimes for the memories of the good things I had. What you create is so powerful and beatiful!

This is like 5 songs in one and I love it!

A 10 minute banger, not many bands pull this off

One of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard and I cried

I don't know what it is about Emily Haines. Songs rarely bring a tear to my eye, but boy there were tears at her last solo tour I went to - she just HITS THAT SPOT

If you sit back and close your eyes around 7:00 while listening to this on headphones, it is something else.

Can't stop listening to this.

Possibly Metric's finest moment. Just brilliant.

Dark and haunting, then joyous, hopeful and uplifting. Incredible track.This song and this band are total proof of my hope for the future of music! Real depth, real feeling and story, that was like an absolute journey of emotions. Never known a band to get better and better and better for 20 plus years. Amazing

Bold to put a 10-minute song as the first track. What an opener!

This is one of the greatest songs of the 2000's!

We love you too guys...this is an absolute masterpiece. I can't even begin to describe how much I love every singe bit of this song. I was so thrilled about the new album after many years, but I wasn't expecting it to hit that hard. Thank you Ems and Co. from the bottom of my heart. ❤

Absolutely the best song I have heard this year. On almost constant replay in my car...

There will never be a word strong enough to tell you what it feels like. To listen to your music, your lyrics, your voice. Ive fallen in love with your band in 2008 and the passion and thrills never, ever can stop. Thank you for making feel the way i feel when i listen to these songs you wrote, played, shared, recorded. Music is a miracle that you can expect everytime you push the play button, How can we not be just grateful about that.

Love the shift in this song. From doom and gloom to a hopeful, uplifting sound

Metric is by far the # 1 talent for this type of music.

What a way to start an album. I didn´t expect that ending from min. 6:00. It´s just dead cool, so emotional. It really touched my soul and made me feel so good inside. So great and talented musicians and that beautiful voice. Speechless! Brilliant!. Metric never disappointing.

discovered Metric about a year ago... and I gotta say, I'm straight up mad at everyone music lover that I know for not getting me into them sooner. I've loved all of their music that I have found, but this is insanely good. Welcome back Metric.

I've spent about 80 minutes now listening to this song. I started listening to metric in January - my new favorite band... excited to see you in Detroit.

Metric will never let you down, can't wait 😍

This song is fucking incredible, one of my all-time favourites now. This song is therapy - transitioning from despair to hope, it is profoundly moving for me.

Sensational track, 4 styles in one piece! I love it, listened to over and over again. Great song, amazing, beautiful!

Ultimate. I have loved Metric, but specifically Emily Haines since 2009, when I heard the song Help I'm Alive in Tower Records in Chicago, and a Visceral response Ive only had 4 times in my 51 yrs .... b-lined it to the coynter and emphaticallysaid,"WHO IS THIS?!!!

finally a song that you actually want to be more than 3 mins and the artist makes it 10 mins long THANK YOU.

This song is becoming one of my favourites ever. Everything is so emotional and intense here. Dealing with depression and anxiety is described here, with ups and downs, blessings and doom.

Dear Metric: Whatever you do, either way we’re gonna love YOU.

This brought me to tears, it's like Doomscroller laid the last twenty years of my life at my feet. Thanks Metric for the cosmic gut-punch, a simply amazing achievement.

Thank you, Metric, for reminding me for the millionth time why you're my favourite band. Can't wait for the new album and tour! I'll be front row centre in Victoria!

I just wanna give Emily Haines a big hug.

This is more than a song, it’s a journey, an experience. And when it ends I find myself asking was that really ten minutes? This should be required listening for anyone with a pandemic hangover, especially since you finish on an optimistic note. Bravo.

Love this! A Modern Masterpiece. Well done.

This Found me at a perfect time. True beauty.

This has become the main song of the year for me. Don't give up yet

While 70’s disco makes its comeback, Metric presses the prog rock reset button - and I say hell yes to both!!

Metric is really something. I’ve been a fan since Fantasies came out, and they’re getting better with each album. Can’t wait to see you guys in NY in October!

Metric was one of my brother's favorite bands. February 3th 2023...saw you guys in VA last year. Thank you for playing for him. He was and still is the best. TOM

I Listen to this when I'm really depressed. It doesn't make me happy, but it makes me feel normal. Normally depressed, not frantically depressed.

"Doomscroller" is such a perfect title (and subject) for a song, tour, album. I'm sort of shocked it ISN'T the album title. Going to be hard for me to remember that it is actually Formentera----but, of course, Formentera is probably an equally brilliant song, because... Metric.

Heard this song earlier today and love it! Cannot wait for the album! Don’t give up yet! Don’t give up now!

OMG dark and decadent beats... can't wait to dance to this banger in a pitch black night club. Love you Metric!!!

Pure bliss. That's all I can say. Thank you, Metric.

Those Lyrics.....the music....that voice!

A pandemic fever dream. A haunting masterpiece. Metric a constant cornerstone of deliberation and thought-provoking intellect within modern music. True outliers. True artists. True talent and truly an honour to follow the journey since your 'Old World' origins. How fitting since we very much now live in a 'New World' (in many forms) but always remember "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of the things. And no good thing ever dies." Andy Dufresne, Shawshank Redemption. Thank you for this piece of music guys... A revelation in itself and you are icons in your own perceived way. Long may the journey continue... #Metric
