This band has a ton of great music, and it all changes over time. The later albums are my favorite, specifically "You, You're a History in Rust" and "Stubburn Persistent Illusions."
For those of you familiar with Broken Social Scene, the band actually has some of the same personnel

Have you never heard the expression "Gun to your head, (insert two choices here)?"
It's extremely common, and it's just an expression that means "if you had to choose right now, which of these two options would you pick?" Not "Answer this question or I'll murder you."

Pretty sure they meant that you always have a third option. Like if you'd rather die than take either option in the hypothetical. Most people interpret it as "which of these two options, you have to pick one" which is absolutely the point of the phrase. OP is saying you can get out of it by saying fuck it, pull the trigger.
I don't think they meant that they never realized that a gun to your head forces you to make a decision.

I got to see them when they were touring the most recent album in the US. I was so close I was leaning on the stage looking right up at them. Such a great memory
