Broken Social Scene

"Like they never left, eh? The new album is called Forgiveness Rock Record, so it makes sense for the first glimpse to be a confessional. "I get world sick every time I take a stand," sings Kevin Drew, voicing the frustrations of a generation stymied by ineffectual leaders, outmoded systems, the sheer magnitude of the world's ills. Crucially, though, "World Sick" isn't world sick. Not exactly. Because as Drew sings the hook, he's got the Broken Social Scene guitar army flanking him on all sides-- that blitzkrieg of crush, shock, glory, and melody that nobody has topped in the five years since this collective's last official album. (Sorry, the National, et al.) Broken Social Scene are still standing their ground, even it makes them a bit dizzy." - Pitchfork, Best New Music, 8.0 (Review of #1 World Sick).
