You Forgot It in People, Broken Social Scene's second studio album, came out on Arts & Crafts on October 15, 2002, and it was the moment the sprawling Toronto collective broke through. Founded by Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning in 1999, the band had swollen in size, and the record shows it: guitars, horns, strings and voices tumble over each other, and David Newfeld's production keeps everything teetering right on the edge of chaos without ever letting it collapse.
It's a gorgeous, overstuffed mess in the best sense, lurching from soft-focus ballads to ramshackle rockers, with "Cause = Time" and "Stars and Sons" the most urgent of the lot. Word spread so fast locally that the first pressings sold out and a reissue followed in 2003. The songs left on the cutting room floor surfaced on Bee Hives in 2004.
