Your best bet in getting it is downloading a torrent, and not waiting for it to show up on Soulseek, Jeph.

http://www.filemp3.com has it. I'm sure you all know your way around torrent files.

Torrentspy has one too.   I also do not advocate the downloading of files, OF COURSE WHY WOULD ANYONE DO SUCH A THING, REALLY.  IF YOU PLAN ON BEING HORRIBLY, HORRIBLY ILLEGAL WHY DON'T YOU JUST http://www.torrentspy.com/search.asp?mode=torrentdetails&id=389589&query=Broken+Social+Scene+ OK THERE I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY.

Or if you hate torrents, I could YouSendIt to ya, if you're being picky.  Only for special people, though.  Who love cookies.  Mmm cookies.

It's missing a track, and could possibly be only semi-mastered - already people are complaining about Jason Collett's guitar solo during Shorelines and god knows what else.  Predictions of doom abound, and complaints arise, but hey, it's an indie album.  It's bound to be completely gutted.

As for my opinion - I think they should have stuck with the original title - Windsurfing Nation - and stuck the title track as the first track.  Honestly, if you hear it your heart could possibly explode.  The rest of the album - I'm not partial to vocal effects, but if you really hated BSS's lyrics, well then this is your album.  They're about as decipherable as on Shampoo Suicide or 90% of the tracks on Feel Good Lost.  So hey, we win all around.

Basically, you have to hear it.  And Windsurfing Nation & Swimmers twice.  Or 230948032983 times.  You know.  Jeph if you're...so...tired...of waiiiiiting...(you're...so tired....) then e-mail me. http://mailto:[email protected].   I'll call some people who know some people.

I know it's K-OS, I hadn't heard of Karen O.  Whatever it is, it's so the best track on the album.  Punx.

i've listened to it about seven times now and i still can't form coherent words to describe it.

it's beautiful, and i think a little more structured than their previous offerings, which i enjoy.

if anyone wants it, let me know. (but promise to buy it, too, ya know?)

I love Broken Social Scene, but this album is no where near the greatness of People. Not even close. "7/4 Shorline" was so misleading. Outside of a couple of great tracks, the rest of the album is a disappointment. It's not bad in any sense, I just wanted it to be a lot more than what it actually is.

The album sounds like "Pacific Theme" but stretched out for an hour, which is a shame because the reason why I liked You Forget It In People was because the songs where so different.
Not that I don't like it, but more variaty in the album would have helped it.

Agreed - they all kind of mush together a bit.  Which ain't good; although the few songs that stand out slightly (7/4 / Shorelines, although I'm not partial to the vochals; Fire Eye'd Boy; Swimmers; Windsurfing Nation) are excellent.  If BSS were really smart they'd be monitoring the situation and taking suggestions.  DO IT.

After a few more listens, it really seems like a step back for them.
Listen to "Feel Good Lost". It's hard to tell the differences between the songs.
In "You Forget it in People", you can tell the songs apart without even trying (except "Bedroom Rock" and "Shampoo Suicide" which blend together a bit).
The songs from this one all blend together, but not as much as in "Feel Good Lost".
So, a step back, but it's still great.
