| | Broken Social Scene: Bee Hives - PopMatters Music Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | 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. |
