Great kickoff to a great band!
It has up-tempo songs such as "Hello City", "Be My Yoko Ono" and "If I Had $1,000,000" as well as some nice slow songs like "Brian Wilson", "What A Good Boy" and "Blame It On Me". This album is pure gold! It shows BNL at their quirky, energetic young age. A great album that I would highly recommend to any BNL fan.


My very first Barenaked Lady
This was the one! This is how I got hooked! And. . we've been together ever since. Great cd!.


BNL Rocks!!
Don't let the antics of BNL live fool you. . these are seriously talented, intelligent musicians who write, fun, reflective songs that span genres. Tight harmonies, tongue-in-cheek tunes. . . great studio stuff. . . but NOTHING compares to the Ladies live. . . where anything can happen and usually does. .


Pop music that doesn't suck
They have musical chops (there's some pretty excellent upright basslines), a smather of musical influences, a toy store full of different instruments (there's a ___load of instruments listed in the personnel section), infectious, sing-along vocals, and a variety of topics, tones, and lyrics. There is not a pop band like The Barenaked Ladies.

It's not all roses, however. The Flag is too droopy and not enough melancholy for that kind of subject. I don't really find What A Good Boy to be very compelling as it's made out to be. Crazy is a subpar closing, a bit mediocre, but at least it ends well, to hilarious effects. And New Kid On The Block has really bland music, and who the _______ cares about New Kids on The Block?

This is the definite Barenaked Ladies album. Regardless of whether or not you despise the band because of their recent hits, christmas albums, and One Week (bleh), Gordon may surprise you. This is the day where they played just for the heck of it ("Go Back to the days of Gordon"). And, of course, it sounds better than ever today, with Hannah Montana and all.

9/10.


witty in a million ways
The music is very different from mainstream but very good none-the-less. i think this is one bare's better efforts, the music is alomst always upbeat and yet they have an uncanny ability to mix and match their lyrics with the events of the world or everyday living, "If I had a million dollars" speaks for itself.
