The Metro has a bunch of elements working in it that make me happy im aware of the song, even if I found out about it on "reuniting the band."
Thats a song, with few details, that paints a pretty vivid picture and at the same time allows people to progress that story in their own way.
Plus, and I have my own definition for this word, it has an epic quality to it. Like all great speeches, it rises as it progresses in time, and to me thats the kind of song that gives me goosebumps. I know "take my breath away" and its crap, but Metro is an awesome song.
If its new wave, and you can play it acousticlly, you know it was well crafter. Thats my formula anyway.
