	what the best record associated with broken social scene in your opinion?

	This one should be interesting to hear. Kevin Drew's style can just piss me off bad sometimes. I've always preferred Brendan Canning's work and wished for more from him. A full album of Kevin Drew seems painful. What is Newfeld up to?

	Dear God! I just read the first two paragraphs of the Pitchfork review and had to say thank you to Derk Miller for not being that much of a hipster piece of blah blah blah...

	motelmoka: For me, it's definitely still You Forgot It In People. I went through a stage with this record where I was sort of fighting what I'd come to think (that it's better, top to bottom, than BSS). I gave that up. I think it was last Tuesday. . .

	barbarian: if you don't like Drew's prior material, I'm not sure you're gonna find much here to cherish. It's definitely his stuff smeared across your cheekbones.

	I could never listen to either of BSS's albums front-to-back because they sounded so bloated and wandering to me (especially the second), even though they shone brilliantly in certain spots. I feel like they definitely could have benefited from a stronger unifying force. Which is why I'd take this one over either of those--it has every bit the breadth of a BSS album, and yet it never sounds overstuffed.

	not to be a dick, hardcoracle, but there are three BSS albums kicking around there - if the one you're missing is Feel Good Lost, it's a nice counterpoint to the "bloated" feel of the other two.

	feel good lost is the kind of album - pleasant mood music where there are a thousand and one far far better pleasant mood music albums out there, rendering it utterly irrelevant. Kind Of Blue possibly sitting at #1 with savath & savalas sitting around #1001
