Broken Social Scene tries to be an extremely organized indie-rock jam session -- something that a few, but hardly all, of the tracks on You Forgot ... tried. In some ways, its spiritual cousin is Sufjan Stevens' Illinois, another continuous album portraying an extremely complex picture that resolves itself as joyous. Unlike Stevens, however, Broken Social Scene decidedly remains a rock group, working in a much narrower vein; the emotion backing each song here is inevitably upbeat yet lined with sadness -- certainly Stevens would not end an album with the joyous exultation that "It's All Gonna Break". The group has lost some of the accessibility of You Forgot it in People, which wore its heart on its sleeve with fewer emotional contradictions, but has maintained the same emotional neediness at the previous album's heart. And to refer to any album that maintains a band's theme while both distilling and complicating its sound as less than a success is an error.
