It’s hard to get to know a band like Broken Social Scene. With a revolving cast of players both on and off the stage, each of the previous records seem to be a snapshot of the imperfect and slightly chaotic times they’ve experienced. It’s been five years now since the collective has released a record, but with a band that’s constantly changing, it’s not so hard to see how time could slip by. Now on their long-awaited fourth record, something has changed, the quiet chaos of the past has subsided a bit, creating an order that’s given us their most concise effort to date. Now down to a core of six members, Broken Social Scene’s Forgiveness Rock Record is everything you would want: expansive, positive, a little dramatic, and always interesting at every turn. All the staples of their best work come out in full form, leaving you with nothing to pass over and another amazing record for this year.
