If You Want to Hear a Pretty Cool Album

I would definitely check this one out.  It was ten years old last month, and it is one of the best indie albums I've picked up in that time.

This album is really catchy and just has solid song after solid song.  I saw them in concert in Boulder, Colorado, and it was really impressive seeing four of five dudes comes out and strap on their guitars simultaneously.  They interwove melodies all night.  One of the best concerts I've ever seen.  The variety was fantastic.  Anyhoo, I'll just let the music speak for itself.









"Cause = Time"  (Dudes rocking out with paper bags and gas masks over their heads?  Awesome.  But wait, there's more.  A guy jumping into a pool with a ninja sword?  Folks, we are officially in the bonus round.)



"Stars and Sons"  (It's good until the hand-clapping starts.  Then it's great.)



"Anthem for a Seventeen-Year-Old Girl" (Strings, female vocalist, acoustic guitar.  Sounds like a completely different band.  Broken Social Scene is officially fucking with your mind.)


And most of the rest of the album is just as good.  Hope you like it.  I think it's one of the best albums to come out since 2000.
