Broken Social Scene - Forgiveness Rock Record

hahahaha

I'm not pissed. It's a stupid name and cover but I kind of like them when I remember they actually exist.

You Got a Funny Idea of Pissed

― Mr. Que

Coming June 6 from Mr. Que on Arts & Crafts

You Forgot It Pissed People

the back-to-back of Ibi Dreams of Pavement and Shoreline off the s/t is BSS at their best.

Broken Social Scene - LP 4

ksh, the threadstarter

s/t is shamefully underrated. a bit bloated, yes, but bursting with ideas from a group of tremendously talented people.

word. and good songs that when given room to breathe live kicked ass, and in acoustic sets for radio turned out to be kind of awesome folk-rock.

YFIIP is wonderful in that it's front-to-back amazing and also sort of a grab bag. like changing dials on a radio.

New Country is def. one of their best tunes and the Fast Mix of Major Label Debut should have/could have been an actual hit. but for my money, their shining moment is the off-kilter summertime jam 7/4 (Shoreline) - those horns!

truly awful title though. of course, keep in mind that the self-titled was supposed to be called windsurfing nation

RIP swedish reggae

Broken Social Scene - LP 4

― i know who the sockpuppet master of ilx is (velko)

Man, I don't even remember starting that.

why is every pissed in here?

yeah why is every pissed in here?

broken social scene is okay, btw, but their music is far inferior to the lolz available from goofing on them

otm

Great thread.

the one you started?

The One You Started

^^^^ probably my least favorite song on this record

the one you started?

― call all destroyer

Had such high hopes, yo.

This first single has really lowered my expectations for this album.

It would have for me, but I don't think it's actually the first single? It's sort of just a promo taste to give the general vibe perhaps? I mean, if it's intended to be the lead single, it's a disappointment, but otherwise it's just a solid album track.

I still want to believe that they have (at least) another Shoreline in them.

A couple new songs have been released. Assuming that this first batch of songs is to represent the "sound" of the new album, I'm not expecting to be a big fan.

It's interesting–iff you read some of the older interviews–how much the band tried to explain away the messy production of the previous album. There was obviously a great deal of disappointment with Dave Newfeld. But comparing what I've heard so far, though, Newfeld has got John McEntire beat. I'm just really bored by these songs.

Forgot the link to the new songs.

I hated them at first, but they're growing on me.

I remember reading those interviews and laughing because the band was apologizing for a lot of the things that endeared me to that record!

they weren't pleased with the sound of s/t? that was a huge part of what made it awesome

i love the messy production of the last record, it reminded me of disco inferno

It reminded me of something that sounds really overproduced.

dave newfeld was always clearly approx 75% of what was great about broken social scene. low expectations for this one.

Sounding even more like a band that almost exists to sell merch to casual hipsters. "I heard them in Gap and I bought their t-shirt immediately!"

still a great title imo

new mp3 leaks? deserves a new thread imo

if you want to save yourself some time, instead of creating a new thread you could use my other BSS LP 4 thread

Broken Social Scene - LP 4

I am scared of growing up. Scared that one day, I will find the buzzbands of 2k9-2k11 to be ‘dated.’ One day I will turn my back on them, searching for something more authentic. Something more ‘now.’

Making so many memories, riding chillwaves, visiting Pavilions, cherrypicking from the hypemachine. But one day, I will get a new computer, and I won’t migrate these mp3s with me.

let me know if I'm putting this link in the wrong BSS thread!

This band started to decline with the introduction of Lisa Lobsinger

http://guttersnipemedia.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/363px-lisa_lobsinger.jpg

The last couple times I saw this band, she was the replacement for Feist, Emily Haines, and Amy Millan. That picture sums it up. Awful! Completely lifeless. Yet, she continues to remain in the band.

When I was really into this band, you'd see Feist running around the stage, switching up instruments. Having fun. These dudes are old now.

She was in the audience the first time I saw them... knew her because she worked at a local record shop in Calgary. I knew all these only because my friend had a crush on her.

Feeling a little more optimistic about this album.

new mp3 leaks? deserves a new thread imo

Did these guys ever get decent again or did they keep sucking after their 3rd album? (I stopped paying attention about 4 years ago)

New album seems pretty weak on first listen.

every bss release up until now (including brendan canning & kevin drew) is at least very good

i haven't heard Feel Good Lost since 2005, but do you think that one's worthwhile too?

i barely even remember what it sounded like -- it was all instrumental i think? maybe ambient in parts? *shrugs*

ya it's just really pretty "ambient" instrumental jams. i tend to start my broken social scene calendar on yfip but fgl is nice, a friend of mine put it on one night, def some solid moments of transcendental beauty contained on that record.

just heard "Forced To Love" . . . i don't think i'll be buying this record :-(

I miss the production of s/t.

Oh come on. Really? Barf out.

P4k: How did you decide to go with "World Sick" as the first song released from the new album?

KD [laughing]: Out of the three songs on our new record worth a shit, it was the least terrible!
