Keeping on top of the best new bands is never easy. Like fashion, music seems to work faster than the speed of editorial. If you're going to be cutting edge, you've got your research cut out for you. |

Now here's a find for people who don't have time to search for good music. Critical Metrics is a new site from the US which pools record reviews from the world's best music publications into a chart allowing you, the humble album hunter, to instantly see which the most recommended new releases are. Using the authority of 'old media', it comes up with an ultimate 'new media' playlist. In other words, it's an easy way to discover exciting music. What's more you can read reviews from leading sources such as 'Rolling
Stone' or 'Word' magazines as well as search for their particular recommendations
per week, month or year. Crucially, you can also click on and hear tracks.
It's very useful and simple which is how we like it. |

Whilst Critical Metrics makes money through pointing people towards digital music subscription services, the actual service is free. Recent users would have correctly been steered towards Feist's excellent album 'The Reminder' or Midlake's endearing 'Roscoe' single which proves that this is one site with its ears on right.
