Barenaked Ladies - Everything to Everyone

Barenaked Ladies - Everything to Everyone

Barenaked Ladies have always had an unmistakable sound that keeps fans coming back for more. This is by no means the best collection of work by BNL, still catchy, funny, and a bit lefty of center, Everything To Everyone has it's share of moments. I just can't help but think back to the album Gordon that the ladies have never been quite capable of catching up with.

Pleasant enough and some great commercial appeal should send this CD to the top of the rock and pop charts. If you've had the chance to see Barenaked Ladies live, then you know the stage show is a huge selling point for the band. Energy times ten when BNL take the stage, you won't leave a show disappointed as Barenaked Ladies always excel at any venue they pack to capacity.

Kind of a pop rock album with a smooth reggae overtone. There are a couple tunes that raise the bar, while others are good, they don't seem to have a true Barenaked Ladies feel about them. "Celebrity", "Another Postcard", and "Second Best" are the knockout punch combination while others are not as memorable. A favorable recommendation from me, but if this is your first taste of Barenaked Ladies and you are enjoying the ride, I implore to you to find the rest of their catalog as you will find comparable, and even better tunes on any of their previous albums, Gordon and Stunt are two that should top your list. Also comes as a CD/DVD combo.
