I experienced the same thing with Assembly of Dust, where the name of a band makes them seem like a completely different band than what they actually are. Broken Social Scene is not a shitty emo band like their name might imply, they are a terrific experimental indie rock band. Personally, they are just the right amount of experimental for me, which is why I haven't really been able to get a grasp on Animal Collective quite yet. But anyway, if you have never checked these guys out, do it, theres a reason they are opening for Pavement.
