Metric

Here's a rundown of the essential albums available online and in record stores today:

The Datsuns, 'HeadStunts' (Cooking Vinyl)

Time to discontinue the brand? (See auto.)

As fourth albums by Down Under betwixt- garage-and-metal bands who've never lived up to their initial hype go, the Datsuns' HeadStunts is not without charms -- "Eye of the Needle" rides some adequate space-guitar swirl atop its Gary Glitter rumble, and the more concise and gang-shouty "Highschool Hoodlums" could've halfway passed as Antmusic in 1981.
