Broken Social Scene - Broken Social Scene [2005]

Posted on October 15, 2008 | Category: Broken Social Scene, Rock

“Broken Social Scene” comes pretty close to being classic, but it falls short. The best reason for this is that the songs are very chaotic, but not necessarily in a good way. They try to create beauty out of chaos in some of the songs, but it doesn’t always work - sometimes it just doesn’t sound good. However, every song here is good and there are even some great ones (see the first two tracks). It’s an absolutely unique sounding lo-fi-ish indie rock album. I suppose the closest bands I could compare it with are Pavement and Dinosaur Jr., but these are a stretch. It’s a very refreshing and creative album, yes, but that doesn’t always mean that it’s great - people looking for something different will at least be very satisfied here. The singer does a very good job with the vocals as he seems to fit the music perfectly; I’m not sure whether most people would like him, though. The lyrics tend to be hard to make out, but they can be interesting on occasion. Musically, like I said before, it’s all very creative and inspired, but not necessarily “great” all the way through. They are at least a very promising band with the potential to make a classic album in the future. Basically, if you like lo-fi indie rock or if you’re looking for something that’s different then all the other bands out there today, then “Broken Social Scene” will please you greatly. Highly recommended!
