Of course, if you are skeptical of the ensemble’s attempts to bring everything and everyone together, holding hands on the same plane, the record materialises with Sol Luna - Sun and Moon - the band extending their embrace around the cosmic details. Towering, a celebration of nothing and yet, a far-reaching approximation of the human condition. It is above us yet looking down empathetically. It isn’t part of a dialogue and it sure as hell isn’t trapped in the same languid delirium that you (I) are (am). Hug of Thunder will never exist solely unto you. There aren’t enough metaphors cobbled together in the English language to explain why something so vast, so patently spirited, can push against its threadbare seams without spilling out over the ideas it stemmed from, but brevity can’t even begin to illustrate it either. Like the objects in my car’s broken rear-view mirror, these looming pieces of music shake and swell, focus and unfocus so obviously stitched together by a band that simply should not work. My experiences with Broken Social Scene – temperamental or otherwise – always remain to make things bigger more triumphant.

Broken Social Scene are that band: a band that thinks in spectrums, that makes a point of filling the gaps left behind, a band that considers and creates everything. Every season, every reaction to every experience, every fleeting moment spent on top of the world is captured and distilled by these songs. Let’s begin at a distance, then: Hug of Thunder has seen it all – every tectonic societal shift, every paradise and every tragedy has been a part of its purview.

Review Summary: hey Sput user, you're still like family to me no matter what you leave down there in the comments
