Leslie Feist's hit single "1234" helped make The Reminder iTunes' best-selling album of 2007 and earned the indie singer/songwriter a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. "Metals' 12 meticulously written songs drift along lightly but confidently…. 'How Come You Never Go There?' the album's first single, is the closest she comes to writing another crowd pleaser. But it's darker, slower, and more brooding—the broken-hearted, lonesome sequel to '1234's chipper adoration…. The ballad 'Bittersweet Melodies' is so charming that if anyone ever films a sequel to 500 Days of Summer, they need to put it on the soundtrack. 'Can't go back, I can't go on,' she sings on it, her voice as soft as a lullaby. 'Both of us singing that same old song.' Luckily for us, Feist has finally written some new ones."—Time 'Metals is very much a pop record, one that welcomes rather than excludes. Feist is still quick to invite sing-alongs, and it's not at all hard to imagine very large crowds rejoicing in the 'Bring them all back to life' chorus in 'Graveyard'…. Still the most important instrument in the band, Feist's voice keeps the record from ever veering too far into anonymous coffee-shop folk/pop…. The opening track 'The Bad in Each Other,' a song about time, love, and their many well-intentioned victims, is the saddest song on Metals but also the most triumphant. For a song that should be downright depressing, the chorus is an oddly positive, affirming moment."—American Songwriter
