Metals is an album by Feist, released in 2011. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 13 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “How Come You Never Go There”, on 12 lists with a best position of #12.
Metals, Feist's fourth studio album, rolled out across Europe and North America in the autumn of 2011, four years after The Reminder made the Broken Social Scene singer a star. "How Come You Never Go There" went out first as the single in August, and it set the tone: this is a darker, woodier, more patient record, less about bright hooks than about slow-building atmosphere and a voice that can go from a hush to a holler in one breath.
It debuted at number 7 in the US with 38,000 copies in its first week, the best sales week she'd ever had and her first American top 10. The critics loved it, it won the 2012 Polaris Music Prize for the best Canadian album of the year, and the Junos named it Adult Alternative Album of the Year. The world tour that followed opened in Amsterdam and ran for a full year.
