100% agreed so far.

This album lacked those highs. Dissapoint.
I've listened to most of their albums quite frequently in the past 8-9 months, because I didn't know them before and I kinda came to like their sound (even if I could never say so about the singer's voice) and compared to the others, I think Synthetica doesn't have less highs - IMO there is no significant difference in quality of the songs.
I do have to say, though, I was quite surprised by Lost Kitten. It's a sound I'd have never expected from Metric and it suits them well - as long as it's not overdone (Moon-Kana anyone?).
