Unfortunately being a music critic comes with one major flaw; having to be unbiased.

*Sigh* So lets get the good out of the way first. Trace, Mason, and Anthony are probably earning more in a few years then I will in my life. So I have to hand it to them they definitely know what they’re doing in this industry, well their PR and label do at least anyway.

Now on to the ‘proper’ part of the review.

First off who on earth thought of the name ‘Metro Station‘? Seriously it sounds like it could be the name for a ‘Hannah Montana‘ video game. I can see it now. ‘Play as Hannah travelling to a multitude of Metro station’s, but be quick, you’ve got an interview at 2:30 meaning you only have 60 minutes to visit them all!’ I really should copyright that idea shouldn’t I? It’s only inevitable it’s going to happen.

‘Last Christmas‘  is all of our secret obsessions, from the outrageously cheesy lyrics to George Michael’s romantic break away at a winters lodge! (aww). None of you can deny it, no matter how many times you tell yourself ,one day you will be on a train subconsciously foot-tapping to the beat. It’s then you realise that you’re not being looked at in disgust or distaste, you’re being looked up to as a ‘hero’ for truly embracing the Christmas spirit! That and you’re also giving the other passengers a great laugh.

‘Metro Station‘  having the mass budget that they have, decided to ‘splash out the cash’ on their take of ‘Last Christmas’ filming the majority of the video from the view of a taxi window! This sophisticated video as you can imagine has fans of over-commercialised pop flocking to it, commenting how the glimpse of Tray doing a live ‘gig’ at 1:18 was ‘breathtaking’ and ‘ttly kwl’.

This thankfully brings me on to my final  point about the band, how edited do their songs sound? I remember seeing them on TV once doing a live performance, and Tray quite frankly sounded awful, Mason actually didn’t sound bad, but not great either. Admittedly if I got a free ticket I would go to one of their gigs, but don’t expect me to be stood there comparing eyeliner with Charlie Chaotic from MySpace.
