| Cons: |
It's difficult to find any faults with the actual site or content itself. My only real gripe and I get this every time I join any site in the Met Art Network is the misleading pricing how they display the join price in USD and then charge me the same figure in GBP, that's why I'll only ever join any of their sites on holiday deals and stay for 1 month only.
If you prefer videos it's probably not the site for you. I don't care about videos so not really a con for me personally.
Earliest content on the site lower resolution which is to be expected. |
| Bottom Line: |
Site stats as of 31st May 2020:
3,729 models
21,274 galleries (over 2.5 million photos)
1708 videos
288 artists
This is my first time back to MetArt since I last reviewed it back in February 2012 thanks to the early May $10 holiday deal from PU/TBP and it's clear the site continues to go from strength to strength with the number of photo galleries having almost doubled in the last 8 years. There seems to be no let-up in the production line of hot young women coming out of Russia, Ukraine and other Eastern European countries willing to take their clothes off for our enjoyment and even during the current world pandemic they continue to provide 4 new updates every day. In the last 7 days there were 26 new photo sets and 2 new videos and this is typical of most weeks so still very much a photo orientated site.
Back in 2012 my favourite models here were all the well known Eastern Euro models from the 2000s such as Marketa Belonoha, Monika Vesela, Eve Angel, Ariel, Suzie Carina, Peaches and Eufrat but these days I much prefer the newer generation of models and favourites include Milena D (70 galleries, 6 videos) Mila Azul (42 galleries, 3 videos) and Emily Bloom (53 galleries, 6 videos). Mia Sollis, a cute freckled redhead who caught my eye as a relative newcomer with 6 or 7 galleries back in 2012 has taken over the crown of my favourite redhead from Faye Reagan and now has 67 galleries and 6 videos. Not forgetting my passion for exotic women there's the beautiful Asian goddess Li Moon with 51 galleries and 1 video and the dark, dusky Spanish senorita Apolonia with 18 galleries and 3 videos.
It's interesting looking back at my 2012 review and almost as if the guys at MetArt read it and changed things at the site to suit my personal preferences. The biggest improvement in the galleries is that the vast majority of sets now start with the model clothed or wearing lingerie so a greater emphasis on the tease and a more seductive feeling with the anticipation and build up to seeing the girl naked. I was never a huge fan of the photo sets where the girl is completely naked from picture number one although they can sometimes be nice when photographed in stunning outdoors locations. I was also never a fan of those pseudo-lesbian shoots featuring two or more girls so pleased to see they don't seem to bother with those here anymore and that its basically all solo content these days. There has only been 2 two girl photo sets added in the last 2 years and the last two girl video was released in 2016.
I'm not really that much into the videos and stated back in 2012 that I find the MetArt videos boring so decided to download some of the more recent videos of some of my favourite models to see if they have improved. I think the videos have improved to a point for the same reason as the photo galleries for the simple reason that the models start out in more clothing or lingerie than they used to making them more seductive. Watching Li Moon teasing on a bed in a white lace basque in the film titled “Beautiful Handwriting” and watching Apolonia stripping out of a college girl uniform in the film titled “Homework” was simply mesmerizing. Once the girls become naked though this is the point for me where the videos revert back to boring because they don't really do anything remotely sexual and I find myself just skipping to the end. I guess they don't go as far as masturbation or insertions to keep the distinction between MetArt and their more explicit sites Sex Art and Metart X.
Apart from the introduction of the 4k videos the technical specs of the content has not really changed much since my last visit in 2012. I have no idea if my PC could play a 4k video so don't bother with those. On the videos page in the sort options you can select 4k but on doing this to see how many they have I only got 6 videos in the search result so I assume they can't be tagging their 4k videos correctly to show up in the search. The size of the highest resolution photos still vary greatly as noted in 2012 with recent updates ranging from 4300 up to 9000 px on the long side. Personally I don't see the point of 9000 px photos with a 24 inch monitor when the model's face won't even fit inside your screen. As an obsessive photo set collector who likes to keep every set the medium 2048px photos suit me still as the perfect compromise between quality and file size.
I'm raising my score from 92 in 2012 to 98 today as the improvements in the content make the site almost as damn near perfect as possible for a collector of solo photo erotica such as myself. If they got rid of the regional pricing forcing me to pay 30% more than an American all the time I might even consider giving them a 100. |
