The Ladies have done more than lie in bed the way Brian Wilson did; they've spent some quality sandbox time mastering the intricacies of catchy pop records, hooks and all. Sounding at times like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young after a week in the Caribbean, the Ladies mix a dash of rap with a pop backbeat on "One Week," while "It's All Been Done" is classic 1960s Top 40, right down to the "woo-hoo-hoo" backing vocals. The lyrics are the hidden joy on this record, with lines like "I love you more than I did the week before I discovered alcohol" and the male voice singing about tying his pantyhose around his neck. The songs are well crafted and the production flushes out the Ladies' hidden musical talents, resulting in their best effort since Gordon. --Katie Sigler

If you are a BNL fan then I need say no more.
This group is one of the most creative I have heard since the Beatles and I am a huge Beatles fan.
BNL's music and lyrics are original, fresh, and addictive.

This is a delayed response for feedback...ive had this quite awhile and all other BNL's masterful hits! I cant say enough about these guys...they are a wonderful band to see in person...and im like way too into them to have any one say otherwise....They songs are unique and the harmony refreshing....much talent here that is underplayed....maybe they keep a low key on purpose....Stir it up a bit...you gotta give a listen!!

Everyone knows that "One Week" is a great song; there is a reason it was a massive hit. And "It's All Been Done" is a lot of fun too. These first two tracks are the first two singles. Maybe that would be enough to buy the album, but that is just the beginning.
Every time I listen, I annoint a different song my favorite. "Alcohol" is a blast with its rollickingly drunken phrasing. "Never is Enough" never fails to crack me up with lyrics like "You get your PhD/How happy you will be/When you get a job at Wendy's/And are honored with Employee of the Month". "Some Fantastic" is filled with whimsy and I love the goofy subtitle "(Ivory and Ivory)".
Basically, while I don't love every song equally ("Call and Answer" has been skipped before), there isn't a real dog amongst them. This is a great album to start your BNL collection. Trust me, buy this and you'll be looking to buy all the others (a good idea in my book - and don't miss them live!)
Naked Stunts Rock June 10, 2006
Jacki (Reno, NV USA)
It was finally in 1998, that the Candian band Barenaked Ladies released their breakthrough record: STUNT. They caught the public's, radio's, and movie soundtrack industries' ears. The band was continuing their performance of light Pop/Rock with a slight Swing feel. Their sound was umistakenly what the public wanted to hear. Even artist "Weird Al" Yankovic did a parody of Barenaked Ladies' "One Week", and the song also landed itself a spot as part of the soundtrack to the film 10 Things I Hate About You. The track "It's All Been Done" landed a soundtrack spot for the film "Drive Me Crazy". All of the tracks rock and over all this is a very good record. It is easy to hear why Barenaked Ladies finally hit it big with this album.
Best album I've heard by them February 8, 2006

With songs like "Alcohol", "Leave" and hits like "One week" and "It's All Been Down", you can't go wrong. Although "When You Dream" seems a little off balance with the rest of the album, songs like "Never Is Enough" blend funny lyrics with great instrumentals. This is one of the few albums I can listen to all the way through.
