  1. 8.5 |   Under The Radar

    Remember the Humans is an excellent Broken Social Scene record. One of their best. The communal mentality pervades the dozen tracks; you can hear them having fun, bouncing the ideas off one another

  2. 8.3 |   Paste Magazine

    Rarely have a producer and band been more suited for each other, with David Newfeld’s knack for microscopic sonic drama amplifying the wide-eyed, open-armed wonder baked into their music

  4. 8.0 |   Mojo

    It's a moody, unpredictable thing, from the Call's Balearic moment of ecstasy, to the deconstructed country-folk of Feist's What Happens Now, to the indie-noir of This Briefest kiss, all sulphurous bass and saxophone, but these many facets cohere brilliantly. Print edition only

    While not a comeback record per se, Remember The Humans is a reminder of what has always made Broken Social Scene a force to be reckoned with. They took a hold of the time to say what meant something

  8. 7.0 |   Uncut

    Remember The Humans makes sumptuous use of its star talents Feist and Hannah Georgas. But a handful of hazier, more ruminative mantras are harder to grab hold of. Print edition only

  9. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Broken Social Scene have never released a forgettable album. And while Remember The Humans isn't among their best, it's still memorable
