    Matmos fans should adore this record, but it likely won’t win over those who don’t already make a habit of listening to unorthodox sonic collage that blurs the arbitrary line between music and sound sculpture. If anyone could, though, it’s Matmos, and the proof is here.

    Despite the weight of its materials and themes, Metallic Life Review often feels lighter and more delicate than some of Matmos’ previous work. Nevertheless, casting their lives in bronze, aluminum, nickel, and steel lends a personal dimension to their music that's especially appealing.

    This album is less obvious in its social critique and more traditional in its instrumentation—for every nitrous oxide canister or cheese grater, there are several more gongs, steel tongue drums, cymbals, glockenspiels, and tubular bells.
