Broken Social Scene - Forgiveness Rock Record

I'm happy to say this record is everything I had hoped for and more. It still has the classic jams, pop songs, and aural controversy, but now the gang sounds like they are branching out a bit, experimenting in the studio with new textures. Amazingly they all hold together as 'songs' so I can imagine that they may gain a few fans. The John McEntire influence (Tortoise, Sea and Cake) does not go unnoticed - in a good way. It sounds like Broken Social Scene, just a little more grown up. Amazing.

BTW, wish John a happy birthday to John on April 9, he turns the big four-oh.
