A Mixing Pot of Ideas - 3/5
From the riff of the first track ‘Addicted’ to the final track ‘All the Way’, the New Jersey four piece band Metropolis have a very short space of time to show what they have in their 3 track EP “Take 2”. But whilst the time is limited, none of it is wasted on being crap, but almost used as a doodle pad for moments of creativity and whatever else Metropolis have to offer.
The riff from ‘Addicted’ characterises the song as a classy rock ‘n’ roll song, but evolves into more of a blues rock pattern for the verses, but the dexterity of Tyler Caton’s vocals works well on that part, making it an effective song whilst being given a fine rhythm section by drummer Gaurav Jain and bassist Nishit Nandankar. Metropolis uses the same formula for all three songs to give helps them achieve what they want to do as stated on their Facebook page – to “bring the people what they want: Rock n’ Roll”. This is achieved by the final track “All the Way”, which features some kick ass lead guitar by Dave Marder.
This three track EP does give a somewhat relative idea of what’s to come, but mostly if the ideas created were used more effectively than just mixed in altogether would have made it more effective than it would than this time around, but regardless of that only criticism the EP does give the listener a very good time.
