is amazingly beautiful and fucking sweet. :)

Discuss if you have it. Get it if you know who they are.

    it is noisy for certain.

    Have you heard the To Be You and Me EP that came with it?

    yeah it is damn noisy, but they have a talent of putting beauty into all that noise clashing.

    I haven't gone through the EP in full yet. I'll try tonight. I don't like the packaging though, the EP is so hard to get out!

    Picked it up, I've listened to it a couple of times and it seems good. I need some more listens, but I also got two other albums so I'm splitting the time. haven't even put the EP in yet.

    listened to the EP, Echoes. It doesn't really flow very well, I guess it's not intended to, but the fast version of Major Label Debut is awesome, especially since I've heard it live, and the other rocker (track 3?) is good also. The Feel Good Lost reprise was nice, I like it when they quieten down and go a bit electronica. Still, the LP is just amazing. ;)

    Apparently they took off all the catchy songs and sorta went "anti-mainstream" if you know what I mean. I respect that. I don't want this band getting too hyped out or over promoted. Dave Newfeld said "It's a matter of are you going to be a brand, or are you going to be a band." Sums it up well. :)

    Really liking this album the more I listen to it. I actually never got into any of their previous albums that much, but this one is great. It's been a long while since I listened to You Forgot It In People, but it just seems like this album flows better throughout. Most of the songs remind me of my favorites from YFIIP like "Shampoo Suicide" and "Almost Crimes."

    only gave it one run-through so far but i definitely think i'll like it a lot. it really reminds me a lot more of 'you forgot it in people' than 'feel good lost'. i was expecting more of a balance between those two albums but i'm still pleasently surprised.

    Great album, I finally listened to the EP and I agree, they could have made the LP much stronger if they had wanted to. The inclusion of the EP just seems to prove that they KNEW they had more really good songs, for whatever reason they didn't want to add them to the LP. I just want to hear someone justifying NOT putting "Canada vs American" on the LP.

    Still, one of my favorite albums of the year and it has been a pretty good year.

    how ironic is it that this is an mtv article and they would be the ones shamelessly promoting one of their catchy singles.

    great album no doubt.

    well you can look aat it that way, or you can look at it as an indie rock band left off catchy/ accessible songs so indie fans wouldnt think they "sold out".

    20 people in the Broken Social Scene collective. A lot of people fighting for space. I love the expermental nature of the whole album. Excellent album. One of the few good Canadian bands releasing music today.

    saw BSS in Ottawa the other night for the third time this year. best show so far. (some of the better shows i've seen have been in Ottawa; like PJ last month). played a few tracks off the new record like superconnected, fire eyed boy.

    i'm really digging the new record, pretty much all i've listened to for the last 2 weeks. i thought the band would not live up to the expectations after YFIIP, but it is only solid record. "it's all gonna break" is my favourite BSS tune to date

    can't wait for the extended "family" tour in january.
    Have you ideas on how this life ends?

    Good point. I guess I can take it either way. I just don't want to see them overhyped and stuff, especially over here. I tell ya, it's sad when you see great indie bands just get swollen up with promotion and shit. Hardly anyone here understands the music anyway. lol But what I really want to say is......

    This album is just great. After listening to it everyday for the past few weeks, I've loved it even more. Definitely in my top 3 for the year. Great to see lots of people post here, too! ;)

    Man I saw them this year at a small venue here and it was just a wonderful moment. Awesome vibes all through out. I'm so envious of you, since you are in Toronto, BSS hometown!! It must be extra special seeing them in their hometown. My dream is to actually do that!
