CD Description
Metro Station is a band born out of social networking sites whose dedicated legion of online fans made them an internet phenomenon in a matter of weeks. Fronted by Trace Cyrus, son of Billy Ray and brother of teen sensation Miley Cyrus, Metro Station were signed to Red Ink after an intern discovered them on MySpace, and recorded their album in New York City. Warped Tour veterans Motion City Soundtrack produced two tracks, “Kelsey” and “Comin’ Around” and the band worked on the remaining tracks with celebrated producers Sam Hollander and Dave Katz (Gym Class Heroes, Boys Like Girls).

Customer Reviews

Metro Station
I actually HATED metro station before i bought this album for my boyfriend. He insisted on playing it in his van over and over again and after maybe the 3rd or 4th time listening all the way through i LOVE it and i cant stop listening! I had only heard Shake It and thought it was quite catchy but I hate the way Trace tries to "sing" really "sexy", he just sounds stupid.

The best songs have got to be Kelsey, Now That Were Done, and California.
Tell Me What To Do is hilarious because I think he is trying to rap, unsuccessfully!

But worth a listen, and worth the money =)

Don't shake it too much
This isn't an awful album as such, but it could have been pretty good with better vocals and lyrics. Musically, much of the CD is pleasing, but too many tracks are ruined by the sleazy lyrics and delivery. Most lines are spoken in pervy tone with as many cringeworthy references to sex you can possibly fit in to three minutes.

Metro Station come across at wanting to be Hellogoodbye, but fall way short, in the abscence of any wit or likeability. Imagine an album full of "dirtier" versions of Here In Your Arms and you're not too far off (although Kelsey is, quite honestly, actually very good). This really could have been better.

Teenage pop/rock
There was always going to be a stigmata over this band, the frontman Trace Cyrus being the brother or disney channel pop sensation Miley Cyrus. To a certain extent you can see Metro Station being another teen band that will have every 13 year old screaming in their audiences. However there is more to this album, every song is upbeat and energetic and, after one listen, you will find yourself humming their songs all day.

If you like Panic at the Disco, you could very well find yourself loving this band, their music is electro-po, cheesy but undeniably catchy. Musically very promising and if Cyrus could improve his voice, often very...breathy, but not in an effective way, the album would come along leaps and bounds. There is a definate musical sound throughout the album, giving hope that this band can improve their sound which, by no means individual, they have got their head around!

Metro Station will be the band you'll keep seeing on MTV this year and hearing played by not so hot DJ's, however you'll never be sure that anyone listens because for everyone over the age of 14, this band is sure to be a guilty secret!
