iTunes Review
If the old adage that an act’s self-titled album constitutes a musical summing-up is true, Broken Social Scene is making the most of it. After building a high profile on the indie-rock circuit over the past several years, BSS now takes a Tusk-like leap of stylistic omnivorousness. The Toronto-based collective pulls off everything it puts its group mind to here, and its ambition feels unlimited. Broken Social Scene moves from strength to strength, taking in massive-sounding epics (“Our Faces Split the Coast in Half”), trippy side treks (“Finish Your Collapse and Stay for Breakfast,” “Windsurfing Nation”) and the occasional piece of straightforward pop-rock (“Swimmers”). Anyone who’s been impressed by recent Arcade Fire or Hidden Cameras sets will find a lot to like here too.

AMAZING!!!!!! :)
by Trev03Although I didn't like it very much at first, Broken Social Scene has become one of my favorite albums ever! The song Swimmers was the first song that I listened to and it caught my attention, but this album goes so far beyond simply the funky indie rock vibe of so many other similar bands' albums, it is deep and utterly captivating. It is epic. Very epic.
Sidenote: Some of the tracks are highly explicit... so I wouldn't recommend that you give this to your 9-year-old niece
Interesting
by rt2035The multitude of sounds reminds me of some of the sounds The Polyphonic Spree produces, but who in the HELL mixed this? I agree completely with the earlier comments of it sounding like all the vocalists are crowded around a single (horrendous) microphone. Their experimentation doesn't seem to work all of the time either.
A few good songs, not sure I would buy it though, a friend gave me the CD to borrow for a few weeks.
2.5/5
5 stars for BSS!
by ohhmeegosh!!You can obviously see the change of style through You Forgot It In the People and the self-titled album but even with that they still keep that little touch they have in their music. Ibi Dreams of Pavement, Fire Eye'd Boy, Superconnected and Windsurfing Nation are songs you can't miss out on but try buying the whole album if you can because it's amazing!
