Forgiveness Rock Record by Broken Social Scene
Forgiveness Rock Record is an album by Broken Social Scene, released in 2010. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 1 countdown appearance in total. The biggest is “Forced to Love”, on 1 list with a best position of #41.
Forgiveness Rock Record, the fourth studio album from Toronto's sprawling Broken Social Scene, came out on Arts & Crafts on May 4, 2010. The collective that Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning started in 1999 handed the controls to John McEntire of Tortoise and The Sea and Cake, and he gives their big, crowded sound a cleaner, sharper edge without taming the sprawl.
The guest list stretches past the band's own crowd: Scott Kannberg of Pavement, Sebastien Grainger of Death from Above 1979 and Sam Prekop of The Sea and Cake all drop in. The songs swing between baroque pop swells and fizzing indie rock, with "Forced to Love" as its taut, hooky standout. Critics loved it, and it made the shortlist for the 2010 Polaris Music Prize. Hug of Thunder, the next one, didn't arrive until 2017.
