You Forgot It in People
Broken Social Scene materialized in 1999 when K.C. Accidental's Kevin Drew & Brendan Canning, formerly of By Divine Right, bonded their friendship into a band. During the next few years, Broken Social Scene created an atmospheric rock sound. Feel Good Lost marked their debut album in 2001 & introduced a revolving cast of Canadian indie musicians. Drew's fellow mate from Do Make Say Think was added to the band, as well as Evan Cranley (Stars), James Shaw, & Emily Haines (Metric). You Forgot It in People showcased Broken Social Scene's expansive musical design in October 2002. Digipak. Copy Controlled. Arts & Crafts. more

an interesting type of indie rock
BSS is an interesting group and YFIIP is an interesting album. I wouldn't necessarily classify it as sing-along music; moreso I would classify it as background music for studying/parties etc. It's a good cd and people should definitely not forget this.

Modestly ambitious
One of those rare indie albums that is actually deserving of so many splendid reviews. Excellently eclectic alternative pop with hardly any downtime (although I would have liked to have seen a more triumphant final stretch) and only a few sonic indulgences without payoff. Even with much of the...

Amazing!
I just recently learned of this album, and have listened to it several times in the last few days, and am playing it now. I can't get enough of it. It's catchy as hell, fun, creative, and it rocks. What more can you want? While the songs are not without tension, it imparts to me a feeling of...

Fantabulous!
This album is so, so great. Every song on here (except for tracks 1, 5, and the last one) is excellent, and the ones in parenthesis are OK. There is not a truly bad song on this entire album.Some folks on here have said that this isn't particularly unique. Everyone is entitled to their own...

Frantic, Beautiful - A Must Own
I love this album. By the end of the brief opening piece, titled Capture the Flag, you're not sure what to expect; another pretty, at-times-stagnant collection of songs from the guys who made Feel Good Lost? Then the second song, KC Accidental, begins. An electric guitar is strummed quietly,...

So much yet so little
I grew up with The Police so take my opinion with a grain of salt but what I've heard of this album sums up what seems so wrong with this incarnation of indie rock. Too many possibilities for bands - all the effects and sub-syles replace what songwriting might be in there - they hit the...

Just Plain Broken
1.) Arrangements relies too much on effects, not musically challenging or that interesting.2.) Background ambient instrumentals are to imposing, they over power the main structure.3.) Lyrically unsound and ridiculous.

You Forgot It In People
Broken Social Scene's trivial debut pastiche, "Feel Good Lost," gave no indication of the heights they would scale on "You Forgot It In People." Consisting of an expanded 12-member lineup culled from Montreal's experimental music sector, Broken Social Scene broke out of the gates with an...

One of the best albums of all time (believe it!)
These guys make creating incredible rock music appear easy. There's something incredibly natural about this album, and yet it feels wholly original. The songs are emotionally powerful and very well written, identifiying this as a standard indie rock album among the ranks of The Arcade Fire or...

Help me out
Help me out someone!? I have a wide experience of listening to every kind of (alternative) music but I really cannot see the greatness of the album. Sure, it sounds great and there are great moment but it didn't get me like the Arcade Fire, Bloc Party or even Stars, of which there are some...
