Another Metric Band exists. It's much smaller and also appeared later.

They are also featured in the 2004 Maggie Cheung/Olivier Assayas film Clean and played as themselves.

[edit] mistake

in the introduction the article claims Old World Underground to be their second album, yet later on it says the same album is their first. So which is it? (I would fix it but I am not THAT knowledged with Metric) BadCRC 02:04, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

That is a definite mistake, it is their first (released) album. I'll change it. DeadDisco

Grow Up and Blow Away (2007), says it's their newest album yet to be released. June 26, 2007. That's impossible cause I've had this album long ago. Possibly a mistake? Jonmwang 03:38, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

No, it isn't because it was circulated on the internet for several years due to it not being released when it was supposed to because of the problems they had with the record label it was going to be released on; the label was purchased by another I believe. Rations 02:37, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Length?

the article seems a little long, and unorganized. perhaps someone with more knowledge of the band could reorganize the 'discography' into someonething slightly more readable... possibly giving their important albums pages of their own?

[edit] List of songs

The list of songs seems lengthy and unneccessary. Evan Reyes 09:12, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Commercial singles

The list of commercial singles should stay listed and they are now, they are the only singles that are available for purchasing... the others ppl keep adding are only radio released tracks which are not available to buy., 10:42, 6 of October.

[edit] Emily Haines' Birthplace?

The Emily Haines page indicates she was born in India, whereas this page states North Bay, Ontario. -- 24.85.42.119 03:53, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Doctor Blind

I know that Metric released the song Doctor Blind before Emily Haines released it on her solo album with the Soft Skeleton. Does anyone know about when this was released? I have this song, but I cannot find any information on it. I assure you that this in not the Emily Haines version. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.239.205.147 (talk) 03:23, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

I can't give you any source on this off the top of my head, but as far as I know, Doctor Blind was written by Emily, but not for Metric, years before the Soft Skeleton project came about. As she wasn't using it for anything, it was used by Metric live at various locations by Jimmy Shaw's request but never, to my knowledge, actually released under the Metric name. When Emily started gathering material for a solo project, she nicked Doctor Blind back. All of this is from memory, but I think that's how the story goes.DamionOWA (talk) 06:07, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 4th album release

The article previously had an uncited assertion that the fourth album would be out June 23rd; anyone know where this came from? Or, for that matter, any information regarding the new album? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.205.181.14 (talk) 02:49, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
