Artist – Album: Broken Social Scene – Broken Social Scene
Released: 4th
October 2005
Sounds Like: Too many Canucks spoil the broth (slightly)
Things came together most spectacularly on You Forgot It In People, but it's follow up Broken Social Scene is hardly a disappointment. Its best moments - the mesmerizing '7/4 Shoreline', the nervy 'Fire Eye'd Boy', the delicate 'Windsurfing Nation' - would have slotted in comfortably amongst the tracks in that superior album. There is a tendency, particularly towards the end of the record, for the songs to just bumble along, noodling away interminably. Still, with such a treasure trove of Torontonian talents, its generally an enjoyable goofing about.
