Broken Social Scene (album) is a good indie rock album. It sounds a bit you would expect Radiohead to sound if they wouldn't have parted with more traditional song structures and rock after OK Computer. So it's indie rock with detuned noises, lot's of variation, but still some traditional songwriting and melody hidden under layers of wackiness. With some help of members of fellow indie rockers The Weakerthans and The Dears.
