    Greatest Album ever. By any band. Period. The rest of BNL's stuff is mediocre compared to this album. I have a thousand cd collection. But this is my favorite by far. They are (somewhat similiar) to the beatles, but the bass player is much more creat...ive then Paul. I love the Beatles too! But BARENAKED LADIES band rocks!!!!!!!!!!!! Read more Less

    Pure Pop Gem

    By Mike  Nov 4, 2001

    It all went downhill after this, oh but what a trip it was. This slap-happy anti-grunge classic would still be a staple in my collection if I hadn't lost my copy to prying fingers on my work's custodial crew... Song like "Put My Hands Around Your N...eck", "The Flag", and "Blame It On Me" show a knowledge of tender subjects I didn't think Canadians possible of treating. Read more Less

    Gordon picks up where the Barenaked Ladies' famous demo "The Yellow Tape" left off and moves them into majors. Their first for Reprise, this witty songbook finds the Canadian five-piece to be a clever group -- charming, but not childish, yet the Barenaked Ladies are pretty close to overstepping the boundaries of silliness. The thing that keeps them in line is their sharp harmonies. Shared vocals between guitarist Ed Robertson and Steven Page are refreshing and upbeat, especially on reworked versions of "Brian Wilson," "Be My Yoko Ono," and the eternal favorite "If I Had a 1000000 Dollars." "Hello City" and "Box Set" are slick narratives, making for album standouts with its jazz-cool blend. Other shiny moments, such as "Enid" and "Grade 9," are humorous in reflecting upon adolescence, while "Wrap Your Arms Around Me" showcase the Barenaked Ladies' more romantic side. Through all the jokes, these guys are a bunch of suckers for love and such sensitivity is a great match for their quirky ...musical persona. Gordon is a great introduction to the Barenaked Ladies sweet comic relief and it's sure to be a college rock mainstay. - MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

Barenaked Ladies

Toronto, Canada's quirky popsters Barenaked Ladies were never ones to follow a trend. They were more interested in making someone laugh than being astute and serious. Most of all, a friendship consumed this band and that bond cemented their place in alternative rock. Teenage friends Ed Robertson and Steven Page found themselves laughing at the innocent and childlike ter... Read more
