From the Taiwanese record label:

這幾年歐美搖滾樂壇掀起一陣火燙加拿大旋風Arcade Fire、Wolf Parade、Broken Social Scene算是最引人注目的名字。而Broken Social Scene更是其中最特殊的團體,以媲美早安少女組的十幾人大陣仗,即興呈現暢快淋漓的搖滾樂風,令人熱血沸騰,所到之處無不批靡。

Broken Social Scene創團時期其實只有Kevin Drew(加拿大後搖滾樂團Do Make Say Think前團員)、Brendan Canning兩個人的後搖滾實驗樂團,以free-jam為基礎,半玩票的即興創作,靠著良好的人緣,找來樂團圈朋友幫忙錄製專輯。在2002發表驚世專輯You Forgot It in People,得到加拿大音樂獎項JUNO AWARDS鍍金之後,團員漸漸增殖成超過十人的超大樂隊,持續巡迴世界。他們的表演現場時候使用兩套鼓,數把吉他輪流彈,外加熱鬧的管樂助陣;絕無冷場似乎是為他們而生的形容詞。在北美大陸,Broken Social Scene更是和Death Cab for Cutie平起平坐的超級樂團。

2005年Broken Social Scene發表最新作品,未如預期地投靠大廠。專輯名稱以Broken Social Scene宣示自我。此舉堪稱全世界搖滾樂團的終極夢想:和一大票好友一邊巡迴世界表演,一邊寫歌,然後錄出一張品質極高的專輯。獨具個性的搖滾樂手,每個人都有自己的樂團和獨特的風格,卻能統合在Broken Social Scene之名,堪稱是個謎樣的進行。這也顯示了樂隊成員本身素質不凡,Kevin Drew表示這張專輯是「清理門戶」的作品,言下之意是要挑戰他們的「粉西」。實際上這張專輯也的確是個心志和體能的大考驗;根本就是逼你做維時六十分鐘長的有氧運動,一邊跳還要聽他們講笑話(和髒話)。心臟不好不能聽它,否則五首歌就包準你渾身發燙,氣喘吁吁。

整張專輯的主要元素是「愉悅」與「混亂」,隨處可聞意料之外的任性轉折,很多歌曲都是非常好聽的片段重複組成,沒有所謂的主副歌,更甭提所謂的起承轉合。繁複的樂器不怎麼細膩,更像是粗枝大葉的熱鬧豪爽;徹頭徹尾一派大自由美學。維持調性貫穿整張專輯的,只有輕快紮實的節拍。ibi dreams of pavement粗礪的聲響直衝腦門,馬力全開。windsurfing nation當中即興語彙混亂紛飛,令人目眩神迷;swimmers由Metric女主唱Emily Haines獻聲令人意外的輕軟酣甜,都為樂迷津津樂道。


如同Broken Social Scene所說:I hate what you hate,爆炸吧!!!!
