Reviews:
''Bee Hives'' is a 2004 album by Broken Social Scene. It is a collection of B-sides from their second full length ''You Forgot It in People''. - Wikipedia
"Warning: this does not sound anything like what most people loved about the Broken Social Scene's 2003 breakthrough album,
You Forgot It in People. The Toronto-based collective seduced critics and discerning indie rockers with killer hooks and sky-opening crescendos, neither of which are to be found on this stopgap collection of odds and ends. With its laid-back vibe and predominance of ambient soundscapes,
Bee Hives has a lot in common with BSS's mostly instrumental first album,
Feel Good Lost, although it sounds less cohesive and more tossed-off. Fans of
You Forgot may enjoy the sparse new version of ""Lover's Spit"" (featuring sultry vocals by Leslie Feist), but are otherwise advised to skip the EP and wait for the next full-length.
