    I bought "You forgot it in people" one day out of spite (record store was out of the album I was actually looking for and I liked the cover) and found it actually good. But I ended up buying the record I wanted and never went further than that. It was a cool album nonetheless, what do the others sound like?

    they sound similar i would say but i think i enjoy their latest release (self titled) a bit better, although some of my favorite BSS songs are off you forgot it in people. i saw them live before, it was one of the best shows i'd ever seen.

    They're a great band. You ever check out Do Make Say Think? It's Ohad and Charles' other band. Instrumental music. One of my favorite bands

    In the best albums of the 2000s thread ... "You Forgot It in People" was my #1 ... really.

    I've seen them a few times, been outstanding each time.

    Have the boot to their Coachella 2004 set where they were flipping amazing (and the first time I heard Shoreline 7/4, which is just an incredible song) ... the set even had a marriage proposal! (and she accepted) ...

    Good stuff. Can't wait for them to come around again.

    edit - I should say I was at that Coachella set ... 115+ degrees of musical goodness

    bss is pretty amazing. i saw them live however and sadly - they sucked!

    they said that they weren't getting along and couldn't get together to practice so I assume they're breaking up :(!

    I really like You Forgot it in People, Beehives and most of all the Self Titled album, they are all excellent. I thought Feel Good Lost was pretty crap though to be honest, terrible in comparison with the others. Great band overall though.
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.

    They are currently on hiatus, but I've heard they'll be touring again soon.

    I'm not a huge BSS fan, but I do like Andrew Whiteman's side project, Apostle of Hustle.

    Both of their last two(You Forgot It In People and self-titled) are among the better released of the 00s so far. Very good band, hopefully they round up everybody again next year to record again.

    Actually, both Metric (lead singer Emily Haynes) and (Leslie) Feist were around before Broken Social Scene ... they were added to BSS I tihnk during the Feel Good Lost time ...

    Metric is fantastic in concert ... Emily is a spazz on stage, in a good way ... I guess they just released an album that they made back in 99-01, but no lable ever picked it up ... haven't heard it yet .... will be seeing them again at the Download Festival in Mountain View ...
