I always thought "Monster Hospital" was a recognized classic of this era of indie rock and the song that Metric is remembered for, but it's barely mentioned in this thread, am I just deluded about how widely beloved it is?

Their Spotify plays are highly concentrated on this 2009 album I didn't even know existed.

I like a few others, but Monster Hospital is the only Metric song I truly fuck with.

"Police and the Private" is pretty great. The rest is just a long, boring blur.

"Live It Out" and "Monster Hospital" felt like indie disco staples when I was going to indie discos

I missed until today that Metric and Howard Shore did the soundtrack for Cronenberg's Cosmopolis. Good stuff. As we were talking about with Eurythmics' 1984 soundtrack, interesting how the vocals are mixed lower to fit in with the music instead of above it.
