Barenaked Ladies Artist Snapshot:

Most alternative rock of the 1990s was based on purging one's demons over a wall of distorted power chords, but bands like Barenaked Ladies showed that tunefulness and carefree pop ditties weren't completely extinct. Hailing from Canada, this purposefully nerdy group built a solid fanbase throughout the '90s who spread the word of the band's raucous shows and dashing pop through word of mouth and traded tapes, before breaking through commercially with 1998's STUNT and its number one single, "One Week."

Review

Q (11/92, p.99) - 3 Stars - Good - "..[Barenaked Ladies have] a precocious familiarity with sundry pop styles, a reliable ear for a hook and an enviable grasp of harmony.."
Reflex (12/15/92, p.68) - "..packed with peppy pop tunes that your standard Brit-o-phile is gonna dig.."

Title Note

Barenaked Ladies: Ed Robertson (vocals, guitar, banjo); Steven Page (vocals, guitar); Jim Creeggan (vocals, acoustic bass); Tyler Stewart (vocals, drums); Andy Creeggan (vocals, congas).

Released at the height of the grunge era, this Canadian group's debut was unlike any other album issued in 1992. While the Barenaked Ladies' cheerful pop tends to focus on exhuberant melody, they rock harder than you would expect for a band whose sound relies so heavily of intricate vocal interplay, snapping acoustic bass and fluid acoustic piano work. Though the band has since released several very successful albums, GORDON remains the definitive Barenaked Ladies disc.

Many of their best-known songs are here: including "Be My Yoko Ono," a good natured tribute to John Lennon's often misunderstood wife, a poignant reflection on the mental illness of the Beach Boy legend called "Brian Wilson" and "If I Had A Million dollars," a fun-filled song that still inspires fans to hurl macaroni and cheese at the band every time the song is performed in concert. Although the Ladies have since tried to tone down the humorous content of their music, the band has yet to surpass GORDON's perfect blend of first-class musicianship, excellent songwriting and limitless wit and charm.
