Can't Go Wrong,
By A Customer
This review is from: You Forgot It in People (Audio CD)
This album just makes you mellow and want to cruise at the same time. My all-time favourite for on the road, or out by foot. Foundation of a great music collection & will introduce you to other artists you will love. Ranks in my all-around top 5, if not number 1. Hooray for BSS.

If it ain't Broken...,
By E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME) (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: You Forgot It in People (Audio CD)
There's a fresh, original sound to Broken Social Scene's indie hit "You Forgot It In People." Rock, pop and a dash of blues are expertly woven together into an atmospheric whole -- some of it is catchy, some is mellow, some is rock-y and all of it is worth listening to.A shimmering intro brings us into the interesting "Capture the Flag." Instantly afterward, Broken Social Scene captures attention with bouncy, percussion/guitar rock (the rousing, catchy "KC Accidental" and "Cause=Time"), alluring pop (whimsical "Pacific Theme"), jazz-tinged rock (the sax'n'drums rock "Almost Crimes (Radio Kills Remix)" and banjo-y, meditative "Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl"). The album rounds off on a more majestic note with the slower "Lover's Spit" and violin-pop "Pitter Patter Goes My Heart." Broken Social Scene is a crazy quilt of people from other indie rock bands, come together apparently just to make music. And that's something they do quite well. Simple, thought-provoking lyrics ("we all want to f*** the cause") and velvety vocals are the icing on the cake -- the cake itself is the expansive, delicate, sometimes bombastic music with some wonderful pop hooks. There's plenty of musical diversity in here. Sure, the core of it is electric guitar and drums. But there's also violin (the solo at the end is pure beauty), saxophone, and flute. It does stumble in one major way: Some songs, such as "Capture the Flag" and "Late Nineties Bedroom Rock for the Missionaries" have interesting melodies, but they don't seem to go anywhere. In places, "You Forgot..." seems to get a little tangled in its own artistry. Indie rock has the reputation of being independent artistically too. Broken Social Scene's "You Forgot It In People" lives up to that reputation with eclectic, inventive, and extremely enjoyable music. It combines the best of alternative, pop and rock. A treasure.

It's almost a crime...,

This review is from: You Forgot It in People (Audio CD)
that anyone would rate this below a 5!!!! I understand some people's frustration at more mellow tracks like "Looks Just Like The Sun" but sheesh...the stronger tracks are REALLY strong. and the "okay" ones are pretty good, infinitely better than other groups' throwaway tracks. (In my opinion, the "bad" songs on here are much better than the "bad" songs on Hail To The Thief, and I am a much bigger Radiohead fan than a BSS one...)Listen to this album with an open mind.
