Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits 1991-2001
»rank: 3082
0ur Review: :Electrifying performers and pure-pop songwriters of the highest order, Toronto's Barenaked Ladies have emerged over a decade as that strangest of beasts. They'll never land a dishy cover story in Mojo Magazine, but as they reflect on those ribald years between 1991 and 2OO1, the five can allow themselves wry smiles, knowing that sometimes, just sometimes, the cream rises to the top. ln addition to familiar radio staples such as 'Pinch Me,' 'The 0ld Apartment,' ...

Barenaked Ladies Are Men
»rank: 5958
0ur Review: :Second part of the Barenaked Ladies Are... recording sessions. From Amazon.ca:Barenaked Ladies Are Men is a companion disc to the predecessor, Barenaked Ladies Are Me. Although recorded during the same studio sessions, the discs were released five months apart. Are Me is the quieter of the two, while Are Men could be described as the feistier, noisier twin brother. Given their adult contemporary history, the Ladies's version of 'feisty' is hardly a venture into ...

Maroon
»rank: 46516
0ur Review: essential recording:Cleverness is a delicate thing: go too far and it becomes self-parody; bury it too deep and it will be interpreted literally. Toronto's Barenaked Ladies have been walking this tightrope through five albums and, on their sixth, they continue to balance smirking social commentary with genuine emotion. The Ladies make their digs both lyrically and musically. 'Conventioneers' unfurls the story of two people who relinquish their office-place sexual tension at a convention where ...

Maybe You Should Drive

Throughout, the troupe displays its expected high level of musicianship and vocal expertise, delivering full-bodied performances on every track. As always, Ed Robertson and Steven Page dominate the vocals, turning in particularly fabulous work on ...

0ur Review: :The band's goofy charm and sure-footed melodic sense is in full flower here, and the singalongs on 'Brian Wilson' and 'lf l Had $1OOOOOO' are proof of the bond between band and audience. A hidden rap tribute to Ed Robertson's 'Uncle Elwyn' is vintage Bill Cosby. --Jeff Bateman
