what an album!
Scott C. gave it a10:
Endlessly inventive and re-playable. One effortlessly great song after another covering a huge spectrum of styles. One of the greatest albums of the 2000's so far.
Bobo von B. gave it a10:
BSS are a brilliant band with very densely textured songs, making cool use of inventive melodies, harmonies, rhythms and timbres.

I agree with Eric...it's good background music, but that's about it. It's not the least bit memorable - not at any point did I think, wow, I really like this song. It was okay for one listen, but I don't see myself going back. I don't see how this album has such great reviews. It's not bad...it's just not good, either.
Eric C. gave it a6:
I'd hate to disagree with such a huge fan base, but I just can't bring myself to enjoy these guys as much as The New Pornographers or The Arcade Fire. I know people will disagree with me, but this cd is just too bland to remember.

Why are people calling this music pop? Broken Social Scene isn't pop. It's not popular, if you asked me. This music is listed as Alternative on iTunes, I guess that's what you could call it. It's certainly not New Kids On The Block. Now.. about this record. It's really something different and places you in a mood. Just watch Half Nelson, you'll hear the best of Broken Social Scene. Just listen to "Lover's Spit", wonderful track.
R G gave it a9:
the epitome of pop is summed up in this record. one of the best in the new mellenium, the combination of mixing and performance is brilliant on this record. every component of a pop song is given air to breathe and the album feels very loose, almost like a performance. thats not to say that atmosphere doesnt play a big role. the effortless swooning of the two on track after track is simply brilliant.
