Broken Social Scene - Broken Social Scene

I don't get what you guys see in Broken Social Scene. I have the album and the EP and it just doesn't do it for me.

My top albums are:
White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan
Mars Volta - Frances The Mute
Sufjan Stevens - Illionoise
Darkness - One Way Ticket To Hell
Stephen Fretwell - Magpie

And I'm gonna go crazy and say Babyshambles - Down in Albion

i happen to think the babyshambles album is rather good. but then i would.

Opeth - Ghost Reveries

My pick for #1!
