Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com

15+ years after their winsome indie debut, Canada's Barenaked Ladies come full circle here, dropping off the major label merry-go-round to re-embrace a DYI sensibility with typically breezy aplomb. But, as this collection's strong songs and crisp production attest, that hardly means the band didn't learn a thing or three during its successful tenure in the majors. The gorgeous melancholy of "Adrift" is apt preamble to a collection that's more thematically balanced and graced by an expansive sense of artistic democracy. While mainstays Steven Page and Ed Robertson contribute such patently torqued, BNL-mirthful fare as "Bank Job," "Bull in a China Shop," "Rule the World With Love" and "Wind It Up," there's a growing maturity and sense of reflection in their work as well, as evidenced by Page confessing his own emotional disconnection via the evocative, banjo-accordion lament "Everything Had Changed." But it's the strong, equally literate contributions of fellow band members Jim Creeggan ("Peterborough & the Kawathas") and Kevin Hearn ("Sound of Your Voice," "Vanishing") that truly expand BNL's horizons at a career juncture when many bands are all too happy to rest on their laurels or hew religiously to the formula that garnered them. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews

Mixed bag of ladies (2006-09-22)

The Ladies have seen better days. While the arrangements and production are all top-notch (in fact, these aspects are more impressive than ever before), many (though not all) of the songs fail to stick with you. If you're a newbie, it's best to go with "Gordon" and "Stunt", and pass this one by, or at least purchase on a track-by-track basis through those portals and sites that allow you to do so. As for the whole album, however, it's for diehard BNL fans only. (Note: this is a review of the deluxe edition, which also includes the forthcoming "Barenaked Ladies Are Men".)

They're back!!! (2006-09-19)

Now that the Barenaked Ladies are on their own independent label, it seems they have returned to the good old days of Gordon. Not to say that the music is necessarily the style of their first commercially successful album, but rather that there are many different song genres and sounds on the new album.Apparently all the band members were involved in song writing more so than in the past and it shows. Kevin Hearn's uniquely whimsical and gentle style is evident in Vanishing while Jim Creeggan's jazzy style shows through in Peterborough and the Kawarthas, both songs sung by Kevin and Jim respectfully. Previously Steve and Ed did the majority of lead vocals so this is a real treat hearing the other band members take the lead. The album is solid all the way through. The opening song Adrift takes on a country twist. Maybe You're Right encompasses all that is BNL with emotional lyrics, a sweeping chorus and gorgeous harmonies, and Wind it Up which features a solo by Kim Mitchell closes the album with a kick! No matter what your musical preference is, Barenaked Ladies Are Me is sure to please!
