Metro Station-I'd get off at the next stop if I were you!

Advantages: Emo-pop synthesized sound.Some of the songs are catchy,great for impressionable teenage girls.
Disadvantages: Annoyingly catchy 'Shake it' song.Rubbish lyrics,synthesized and kiddyish.

...Reviewing this album is an exercise in objectivity on my part and I intend to give it my best shot. I think the first thing that I should say to try and defend Metro Station, is try to ignore their previous connections with the Hannah Montana empire. That is definitely a good starting place for trying to think of their good points. This album, in terms of sound and feel is a bit emo-pop, targeted at a younger audience than the serious emo of our time. This younger audience I am referring to is made up almost entirely of teenage girls I am certain of it. When listening to this album and trying to review this band, I am trying not to liken them with Bros and the boy-pop bands of my youth. This is impossible because Metro Station are exactly that: a modern day Bros, raised to greatness through Myspace hype than actual musical greatness...

Metro Radio is the best music

Advantages: Wide range of music played
Disadvantages: Adverts/ breaks

...Having always listened to Metro Radio, alias Metro FM, i can confirm that it the air play is organized to attract 'all' listeners. Having listened to an alterative radio station for a short time, i reverted back to Metro Radio. I listen to the radio during work hours, and at home. All the presenters are easy on the ear, they dont spend hours talking over the songs and they have excellent competions. Metro Radio holds many of events for teenage listeners and the shows allow you to participate and not just be another listener. I myself won a competion when i was about 14 years old, i won alot of signed CD's. Metro Radio's playlist includes all the latest songs which are topping the charts, however it plays songs of the past which are great to hear. Don't you get sick of listening to 'whats hot in the charts' all the time. I would...

Metro Film Review

Advantages: Action, Characters
Disadvantages: It's hardly groundbreaking

...I'll begin this film review by confessing two things: 1. I've never really been a fan of Eddie Murphy; and 2. At the time of writing this, I've never seen any of the Beverley Hills Cop films. If any of these things had been different prior to watching, I may have been disappointed with Metro like a majority of the other film critics. My third, and perhaps most surprising, confession, however, is that I actually enjoyed this film. It's a formulaic, but effective, buddy-cop comedy-action film. The action set pieces are well done and the central actors appear very confident in their character roles; Murphy, in particular, appears completely at east in front of the camera and is a joy to watch. Plot wise, Metro is hardly Shakespearian, but no one ever expects that from an action movie anyway. Murphy is Roper, a hostage negotiator...

SHOPPING IN METRO STYLE!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...with a disability and I am pleased to say that warden checks regularly to ensure these spaces are not abused, so remember to display your blue badge to avoid a fine! Before you leave your car make a note of which coloured car park you are in! It really is easy to forget! The metro centre is really well served by public transport. From Newcastle central station trains run every 15 minutes and the journey takes just 7 minutes. The metro centre has its own station with undercover seating. Trains run along the Tyne valley as far as Carlisle and are frequent. In addition to the train service there are numerous busses that connect from all over the North East. For accurate times I suggest you take a look at the metro centre web site. All transport arrives into the Metro centre and the walkways are covered so you will be protected from the elements...

Review of Metro Centre

A Metro Moment

Advantages: Free, funny, free, great time killer and free!
Disadvantages: Made by the Daily Mail and dodgy Ink

..., with I’m sure would be useful if that’s what you like reading in a paper! Where do I get it from? This is where it gets a bit tricky. As with all good things, there’s a catch. Not everywhere can get it. Up until recently the only time I read the Metro was when I visited my boyfriend in Coventry. But thank the lucky stars, Sheffield now prints it’s own so I get to read it every time I go to Uni. If you do live in a Metro catchment area, you’ll be able to pick a copy up from trains stations, bus stations, buses and in Sheffield’s case, on the tram. However, because it’s free you have to get their early to get your copy in busy places. In Coventry station all the copies have disappeared by 9.00am, but in my home town train station you can get a copy all day (Chesterfield people don’t know...

MY MARVELLOUS MORNING METRO

Advantages: Free - it's free I tell you!
Disadvantages: Possibly too brief for some

...As I make the short walk into the office each morning, I must be the only person who is actually walking into Manchester Piccadilly train station. Don?t worry, I don?t have a fetish for spending time in train stations - my journey is entirely selfish. Seldom does a working day go past when I don?t pick up a copy of the free newspaper, Metro. Metro is published daily, Monday to Friday, in most major UK cities and is given away free at major railway stations. You can also find copies on some metropolitan buses. I generally only read the Manchester version, but have picked up London, Leeds and Birmingham editions and they all seem to be of a similar standard. The paper is normally about 40 pages long and for me is an essential daily acquisition. NEWS COVERAGE Despite its local focus, Metro newspaper covers national...

Retro Metro

Advantages: 24 hour good music
Disadvantages: Some of the features can be crap

...I've grown up with Metro Radio, from the days it used to play the worst music and have a cheesy logo to now with it's retro logo and the best music. It can live up to it's promise of the best music Metro Radio, it always has the biggest prizes, coolest tracks and best presenters. From the new guy in the morning, Marky Mark with his large chopper and the husky Alan Robson joining you in bed at night with his fantastic chat programme, Nightowls. They recently gave away a holiday to Austrailia all expenses paid for the answer to a set of three easy questions! Everyone is familiar with the broadcasters, DJ's and much-put-upon behind the scenes folk, and despite some of the features being a little risqué, Metro Radio still provides good music all the time....

FREE METRO

Advantages: IT'S FREE
Disadvantages: Too many adverts, stories too brief, but hey, hey its free

...Metro always make my bus or tram jourmey to town more intresting. The idea is good, to give a free paper to encourage people to read more. It has all the main headlines inside as the other papers, though it may not go into as much detail as a broadsheet. It also helps me keep up with current affairs as I have teenagers at home who pull strange faces if I try and watch the news. There are plenty of stories inside and colour pictures. It'll be paid for by all the adverts which it must be said that their is a lot of. Once yyou've read it aswell your meant to leave it so someone else can have the benefit of reading it. The sport at the back is mainly football. Overall a good idea, and each region has it own edition but even though that this is there is little local news inside, only a what's on guide or else you'd never know. It has sudoko...

Review of Metro

The inside scoop on Metro

Advantages: Free
Disadvantages: Crap

...This is a paper I was wary of at first, as were a lot of the nationals. Why would anyone buy their papers in the morning again, when there was a free one on offer? I don't think they really had any reason to worry. One, all the copies of Metro have gone by about 7.30 am, so you have to decide whether to take a chance on being able to nick someone else's or buy a paper anyhow. And for another, their writing is crap. Metro serves a completely different purpose to other newspapers, in that it's specifically designed to be read in 20 minutes, offers no editorial, comment or lengthy features and doesn't even do any actual reporting. In fact, they lift practically everything straight of the Press Association newswire, which is hardly in itself a beacon of reliable journalism, being the Daily Mail of the newswire services. Honestly, they take...

Free Metro Paper

Advantages: It's free , Interesting,
Disadvantages: None

...Every weekday monday - friday you can receieve this paper absolutely free of charge. They can mainly be found on the front of busses as soon as you get on. Since this paper has been handed out free of charge I would definately say that my two bus rides every morning have definately gone a lot faster then they used to. No longer do I worry and hate being stuck in traffic instead I just put my head down and receive the best paper :) Ok, I wouldn't say this is the best of paper's around although for free I am certainly not complaining! It contains all the top stories... interesting facts.. daily horoscopes (my favourite ) and the televison guide. Every morning in Cardiff there is a man or woman stood in all weathers handing out a metro for free to anyone who is passing. I am yet to see a person refuse this paper! It is definately...
