Broken Social Scene was started in 1999, born of a theme that has become the stalwart of the band's existence - friendship in tough times.
BSS was a side project, an escape, an experiment - one where the only constant was the willingness to go from feedback workouts to daydream soundtracks to indie-rock soul jams without worry of continuity.
Broken Social Scene is a fitting title for the band's third record as this album is an apt aural representation of the band's friendship.

 Broken Social Scene: Broken Social Scene [2005] Shaking Through.net: Music: Review
For Broken, the band has created a sound that is still instantly identifiable as Broken Social Scene but is more coherent than that of You Forgot; it retains that album's sense of being many singles that work well as a unified group, but each track on Broken has a similar texture and energy.
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 also tried.
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".

Broken Social Scene's self-titled follow up to their critically and commercially successful sophomore You Forgot It In People, was at first (two weeks of listening) a complete let down.
This time, the volume was set thrice as high, and unexpectedly Broken Social Scene came alive.

The massively anticipated follow-up to "You Forgot It In People," the Canadian cult BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE deliver an amazing new LP, filled with monumental songs layered with huge choruses, symphonic arrangements to compliment their many instruments and vocalists, and the intimate/experimental/hooky sound that makes their headphone and rock-out appeal a 2-pronged-force to be reckoned with.

Bee Hives is what Broken Social Scene have come up with to tide over their growing legion of devoted fans, and as you'd expect, it's a bit of a bumpy ride.
If you've ever seen Broken Social Scene live, you'll know that nearly all the members spend an inordinate amount of time onstage crouched over their effects pedals, creating waves of guitar drones and feedback, and this album sounds like an extension of that style.
The bizarre "Time=Cause" sounds darker and more cryptic than you'd expect from the band, with its blend of strings, strange harmonies, and haunting vocals, while the vibrant suite "da da da da" is the disc's most immediately charming, and ambitious, instrumental.

Frontmen Kevin Drew (formerly of Do Make Say Think) and Brendan Canning (By Divine Right, Len) founded BSS in 1999 and their mission has stayed constant: take a deep love of indie rock and expand on that by making experimental minisymphonies.
I feel that the overall sound is bigger, looser, grungier, dirtier [as epitomized on disc 2: Canada VS America], and more chaotic than it's tightly controlled and immaculate predecessor "You Forgot it in People." Voices, genres,dozens of sound effects and instruments meld together.
Compared to YFIP, BSS has a lot more instruments, a lot more noise, (and a lot more band members), but it all works beautifully.
