    Remember the Humans appears to let go of all of that pressure and exists on its own, and it’s the rediscovery of the hunger that makes the album soar.

    “What Happens Now,” like “Parking Lot Dreams,” is a lovely pre-dawn sigh, her [Feist] unanswered questions bathed in fuzz and chased by muted drums. This sleepier mode might require patience here and there, but Broken Social Scene balance out the mood board with a handful of their churning, punchy rockers.

    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. [Jun 2026, p.88]

    Throughout, a balance of reflection and celebration is finely struck: while Feist-sung elegy What Happens Now is a tender beauty, Paying For Your Love blasts off like an indie E Street Band in full flow. [May 2026, p.101]

    There may not be a track that grabs you by the scruff of the neck like 7/4 (Shoreline), but Remember The Humans reminds us that on the rare occasions that Broken Social Scene release a record, it remains a moment to be treasured.

    This is still quintessential Broken Social Scene—brokenhearted love songs, striking images set in dream logic, longing for connection while admitting the faults that prevent it—even if it necessitates a new level of patient listening.

    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. [Jun 2026, p.36]
