I don't have that Metro Area one - educate me please.
I would say it was one of the most vital albums of the last decade - basically kick-starting the revival of nu-yorican druggy disco-infused house in the early 2000s or nu-disco / future disco or whatever the lazy admen want to call it. (everything must have a name! ) At times it's loungey like 'atmospherique' , at others it unleashes dancefloor semtex particularly in the case of the now-classic 'miura' which always generates pandemonium, a veritable call to arms, a statement of intent by any DJ at the start of a set. and then you've got intriguing tracks like 'orange alert' which I remember sounded so fresh at clubs like 333 in the early 00s when interesting new sounds were starting to emerge from the embers of electroclash. For these reasons alone, I commend it to the house.
