Album Description
Barenaked Ladies Are Me still exudes the band's sense of fun while musically and lyrically demonstrating a maturity you'd expect from guys who have played together forever.

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

Barenaked Ladies Are Me
If you are a fan of Bakenaked Ladies, you'll enjoy as much.
N0 disappointment.

Love this group
This contains both Barenaked Ladies Are Me & Barenaked Ladies Are Men, both in 5.1 surround sound. Disc 1 is better than disc 2, but there's good stuff on both. I particularly love the dreamy quality of "Adrift", "Something You'll Never Find", "Home", "Half A Heart", and the best track on the album, "Maybe You're Right". Steven Page has a terrific voice. Fun group!!

absolutely amazing
I certainly consider myself a BNL fan. However, I only own their cd's (no dvds etc) so apparently I don't actually qualify as a real fan.
I must say though that BNL ranks up there in my top three favorite bands. I've been listening to them since 1993 or so.

This being said, this cd is MY FAVORITE. I cannot stop listening to it.
It was like this with Everything for Everyone, but I wasn't AS addicted as I am to this one. This cd is very rich and it is clear (as if it weren't before) that these guys are EXTREMELY talented. Take it Back is the best song on the cd, but not by that much. The other songs are also incredible. I had to listen to it three times before I became completely addicted.
I own BLAMe, but have only listened to it once since I can't stop listening to this one.
