   I love the loose sound of the album. It's got such a great flow to it. I find it very relaxing to listen to. The whole feel of the album I love the loose sound of the album. It's got such a great flow to it. I find it very relaxing to listen to. The whole feel of the album really suits my taste in music. One pet peeve of mine is people who call them pretentious or self-indulgent. If I was making music, it would most certainly be self-indulgent. BSS could have easily put out a mainstream pop-album and gone on an arena tour. I have no doubt that the talent in BSS is there to produce mainstream pop. Instead, they made the album that they wanted. So, of course it's self-indulgent. And I applaud them for it.… Expand

   Reading most of the reviews from the 'cream of the crop' critics, I found myself at a bit of a loss. One, most of these reviewers Reading most of the reviews from the 'cream of the crop' critics, I found myself at a bit of a loss. One, most of these reviewers pride themselves on having the ability to be on top of progressive music (what is Broken Social Scene id not progressive). However the critics hear the complex textures and dense sounds on the new Broken Social Scene as overwhelming the melody, which in my opinion is not the case at all, the density of the sound reveals itself with every listen, generating new sounds that continually capture the true essence of what it is that makes the Broken Social Scene so great....endless innovation!… Expand

   Another great BSS release that finishes better than one would think from the band's third release and follow up to You Forgot It In Another great BSS release that finishes better than one would think from the band's third release and follow up to You Forgot It In People. While this release was not as strong as expected it sures shows that the musical fire from BSS is still burning your flesh off! An A+ album from start to finish. Broken Social Scene will forever be synonymous with terrific music and there's no exception here with the feel-good music that they continue to create. Get up and dance to this one!… Expand

   it lacks that intangible magic of you forgot it in people but it is more rewarding than beehives and feel good lost. i think the mixing and it lacks that intangible magic of you forgot it in people but it is more rewarding than beehives and feel good lost. i think the mixing and production are great as it sounds like nothing quite like what i've heard before, though their influences are rampant throughout the album. the one-two punch of faces, and ibi is about the best start to an album i've ever heard. it loses steam after that with lots of good tracks but none of the subliminal connectivity that yfiip possesed. worth owning for bss fans and the first two tracks will open any skeptics mind.… Expand

   This CD is highly overrated. It is a complete mess with too many musicians and horrible mixing. A total disappointment.
