I wish I was the celebratory 1000th rating for this album, but alas 999 will have to do. Broken Social Scene, more than most other bands, have demonstrated a proper change in scope with grander budget here. Dramatic shift in line-up, somewhat of a shift in style and a mild shift in tone to a more quirky, self-conscious, lush and relaxed chamber indie (provided that "chamber" is a penthouse New York recording studio.

Once you get used to it, most songs are total bangers. The album is pretty divers, but still manages to keep itself together somehow. What I do not understand is the popularity of 'Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl', why does it have these numbers?

Probably the weirdest album I have ever listened to. A way of looking through the wrong end of the looking glass... probably the last recommendation you take from me on accounts of the strangeness of this group. Granted, they're from Canadia

I'll admit, this rating has quite a bit of nostalgic padding, but nevertheless, I think this album is perfect. The progression of sound and sensitivity from song to song is unparalleled. I love hearing this album shift from ambient bliss to joyous rock-storms to some of the catchiest pop tunes in indie rock history. This album is so rich in diversity and passion. Nothing else can make me feel 16 again while still feeling like a real life grown up record made by and for adults. I wish my farts came out sounding like Almost Crimes.

Very few releases exude nostalgia, catchiness, and depth. But very few releases are You Forgot It In People.

| 5.0 classic | AggravatedYeti | January 5th 08 |
Had you heard 'Feel Good Lost' before the release of this LP; how the fuck could you see this coming? Start to finish 'You Forgot It In People' is a fantastic ride through the experimental, awkward, and very human world of Broken Social Scene. This collective of Canadian musicians came together as a single mastermind and produced (continue to) some of the greatest pop music ever created. Kevin Drew, Leslie Feist, Brendan Canning and Emily Haines at the helm, of roughly 11, float their way through walls of pop mayhem, serene beauty and superb grooves. 'Stars and Sons', 'Anthems...' and 'Lover's Spit' are particularly gorgeous, while 'Almost Crimes' & "Pacific Theme' are pretty much perfect. 'You Forgot It In People' is a shambled masterpiece, that in my opinion, should not be missed.

Another amazing band found through Sarah M. I first heard "Anthems for a Seventeen-year-old Girl" while on a drive
through haunted Indiana with her and Shaffer and it was the start of my BSS love. There are so many great things to
love. The energy on this album is touchable. It's just so in your face. While sometimes inconsistent, sometimes too
soft after being so loud, this album is to the brim with creativity and life.
