4.0 out of 5 stars
Undeniably Agreeable, February 15, 2005
This review is from: Barenaked Ladies: Disc One 1991-2001: All Their Greatest Hits (Paperback)
So what's not to like?
Some young, fresh, earnest Canadian dudes who write simply and cleanly about their experiences growing up.
Canadian cynicism. Reflect on exactly what those words mean or, for that matter, whether they belong together at all.
SCTV?
An extended version of the Weather Channel?
Punk skiing?
You cannot be sad listening to these guys. You cannot hold onto a loss of hope for our race. And, in their engaging way, we have to look at our own assumptions and values.
Likeable, cheerful, and listenable. Lovers in a dangerous time is a cut on this album, and it describes this bunch so well.
I'd buy the album if I had a million dollars, for sure.

Please note this is the BOOK, NOT THE CD!, December 26, 2005
This review is from: Barenaked Ladies: Disc One 1991-2001: All Their Greatest Hits (Paperback)
I received this as a gift... when I put it on my Wish List I had thought it was the CD compilation, NOT the book. As much as I love BNL, I have to return it as I do not plan to play or sing the songs. Oh, well... I'll try again and see if I can manage to buy the right thing.
