so. three listens later. i really like it. new producer did a nice job capturing sounds and emotions. it's not as in your face as you forgot it in people, but i think has some really positive spots. world sick, chase, forced to love, all to all, ungrateful little father, sentimental x's, sweetest kill are all real cool. art house director rocks. meet me in the basement have some sweet horns.
and let's be honest, broken social scene is a feeling. and overwhelmingly awesome live. and i can't wait to hear it all live.
I think the last stretch is the strongest bit! Meet Me in the Basement-Water in Hell particularly. Other than that Art House Director, Texico Bitches and Forced to Love are pretty great.
i think it's pretty amazing. lives up to my high expectations from them. but then, i like broken social scene's overall style quite a bit. they've become one of my most anticipated acts for sure
