From its tongue-in-cheek cover art on down, Barenaked Ladies's Everything to Everyone is a surprisingly tough-minded survey of early 21st-century culture. Often accused of being too clever for their own good, Toronto's Ladies here provide a good deal of subtlety along with the expected tunefulness and genre-hopping. "Testing 1,2,3" is a complex song about nostalgia, singing in a rock & roll band that's loved for perhaps narrow reasons, and watching one's ex-girlfriend find a new lover. "Maybe Katie" presents two different views of the male fear of commitment before dropping a key bit of information about its title subject. And "Shopping" is a fist-in-velvet-glove tune in the tradition of the Housemartins's "Happy Hour;" could its happy-go-lucky chorus be a skewering of George W. Bush's pro-commerce response to Sept. 11? At the very least, it demonstrates that these guys fully understand the art and the implications of being all things to all people. --Rickey Wright

I liked this CD!! April 8, 2007
L. Paterson (New Zealand)
Well, I am a bit of a BNL fan. My first album that I got was "Gordon" back in the 90's....I also have "Stunt" and "Greatest Hits". I happened to buy this album from an online auction thinking I'd give it to a friend when I visit her next month...I even told her I'd got it for her. But after a few listens I am really hooked on this album and will now have to buy another copy so we can have one each!!
 Not the best, but it grows on you... March 28, 2007

I originally came to bury this album, not to praise it. Upon first listening to it, my disgust was unbounded. Could this pathetic dreck be from the same band that produced "Maroon" and "Stunt", two desert-island albums of which pretty much every song is great? However, with additional listening, it kind of grows on you. It's not up to the standards of their best albums, and it contains several embarrassing tracks, like the stupid, trying-too-hard-to-be-whimsical "Another Postcard", but it's got some pretty good ones too, i.e. "War on Drugs", "Maybe Katie", "Have You Seen My Love?" All in all, it's a good, fun album in the BNL tradition.
Good Job BNL August 14, 2006

I have recently been introduced to Barenecked Ladies Music. I have heard some of the songs from this cd on the radio and like them and thought I woudl go ahead and get this priduct. I have just purchased other BNL cds as well.

As a peripheral BNL fan, I have always admired the off beat sense of humor these guys dish out. With previous releases, I have been able to discover new things in repeated listenings. This cd got stale fast. Seems to be geared to the tween crowd. I am hopeful newer releases will stay true to the BNL I have enjoyed in years past.
BNL's more serious side May 8, 2006

Those talented lads from Toronto created a smart, entertaining CD that makes you think. I have all of their other albums and while their older albums are great I have grown to prefer their more serious side which it seems appears more and more on each new album. This album doesn't change that trend. With the exception of the not so good "Another Postcard" and "Shopping" the album is full of entertaining songs.
