You Forgot It in People is the second studio album by Canadian indie rock band Broken Social Scene, released on October 15, 2002. It was the band's commercial breakthrough. You Forgot It in People features intricate, experimental production techniques and a large number of instruments coinciding with the band's vastly expanded size. Local excitement for the album was so big that initial pressings sold out quickly, necessitating a 2003 reissue. Music videos were made for "Stars and Sons," "Cause = Time," "Almost Crimes (Radio Kills Remix)," "Lover's Spit," and "I'm Still Your Fag." The songs that did not make it onto the album were featured in a B-sides compilation entitled Bee Hives, released in 2004.

Reviews
"You Forgot It In People" is the second album by indie/post rock band Broken Social Scene. On this album the band parts with the more tradional rock that was on their debut album ("Feel Good Lost"). This album is well produced and strange song structures are kept within reasonable bounds. Personally I prefer their third, eponymous album ("Broken Social Scene"). "Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl", "Almost Crimes (Radio Kills Remix)" and "Cause = Time" are the best tracks, but the rest is excellent too.
Wow this was an elaborate, very interesting album - I almost felt like I was listening to classical pieces at times yet it all feels very modern. Repeated listens will yield new discoveries!
Really loved this a lot more than I thought I would.
One of the greatest albums of its time of its genre.
Every time I see their band name I brace for something whiny, and every time I actually listen I get pretty decent post-rock. I didn't care for their other one on here, but I liked this one quite a bit.
This is right up my street- it's got a lot of different bits that makes it a puzzle. Worth relistening.
Good stuff, very interesting. 4 stars.
Rating: 7/10 Best songs: Almost crimes, Shampoo suicide
One of the great 00’s indie albums already in my frequent rotation.
I don't really get Broken Social Scene tbh. This feels like something I should eat up hook, line, and sinker, but it never registers as anything more than "Pretty good indie rock". So.. this was some pretty good indie rock. Better than the other album by them that was on here.
Better than average indie/alternate rock, though generally I thought it was pretty middle of the road for the genre and not quite up to the mostly glowing reviews.
Nice
It wasn't bad, just generic indie rock that went a bit maudlin by the end. I liked some bits more than others. Three stars.
It's fine. My personal rating: 3/5 My rating relative to the list: 3/5 Should this have been included on the original list? No.
Huh. I'd never heard this band before. Only of them. This was okay. A little bit time wasting? But good generally.
Wait this is actually good?!
That teenage girl song rules but otherwise I just kinda don’t get this band no matter how many of their albums you force on me.
Nice album for your late teens
Indie rock. Rollo. Un 2.
