Stunt by Barenaked Ladies

Pros: Excellent songs by a band reaching the peak of their performing and songwriting talents.
Cons: None, really.

Every once in a while, the stars align and a band reaches mass success at the exact same time they create their best work. With a little help from a new keyboardist and some of the best-written songs of their career, Canada's Barenaked Ladies jumped into ...

Pros: A few good songs, one funny one...
Cons: A bunch of forgettable songs, one overplayed track...

Once upon a time there was a band unlike any other band. First of all, they looked more or less like cartoon characters. Secondly, they took themselves none too seriously. Finally, they were funny—not just in looks but also as far as lyrics go. Of ...

Pros: Imaginative lyrics and beautifully arranged and performed music
Cons: None

Wull, I'm sum kinda mad. I wuz lookin' threw the used CD's and I seen this album called "Stunt" by a groop called "Barenaked Ladies". Well, they ain't bare nekid and they ain't even Ladies. I guess they misspelled Laddies witch I ken understand since...

Pros: Fun, Energetic, Good lyrics, Funny, Listenable
Cons: Some repetitiveness of sound

Whenever possible, I like to listen to artist's works in order and for the ones I like I tend to evaluate albums partially on the basis of the growth of the artist. I like to see artists taking the strengths I like and expanding upon them while ...

Pros: Unique lyrically--a pop culture explosion in your CD player
Cons: I don't think there's anything wrong with having fun with a Barenaked Lady

...and some people in Utah still love about five or six of them as wives at once, but those people usually end up on the news and/or in prison. It's a weird world I live in, people.

I jumped on the Barenaked Ladies (heh-heh...I should end...

Pros: A few solid tracks: One Week and Light Up My Room
Cons: They allowed their talent to be watered down and overproduced.

Back in the early to mid 1990’s, when the Barenaked Ladies were first gaining a name for themselves, off-kilter, impromptu, almost-nonsensical lyrics were the norm. Fans regularly showed up at concerts (then, small, out-of-the-way venues) with boxes ...

Pros: Mind-Blowing Lyrics, Inspired Music
Cons: Takes A While To "Get" This Band

For the longest time, my wife tried to convince me that I should enjoy Barenaked Ladies. She would tell me how great they were and that I needed to give them a chance. Well, I did try some Barenaked Ladies, and I discovered that I...

Pros: An excellent quality, extremely well-thought out album without one bad song.
Cons: The first two songs were extremely overplayed.

I could write a hundred pages on this album pondering the meanings behind the lyrics of the songs on this amazing fifth release by the Barenaked Ladies.

Stunt is a medley of a gazillion different styles of music. From extensive listening, I...

Pros: A few of these songs are highly spirited retreads of good old Gordon
Cons: Overall, it's not even close to recapturing *everything*

(Disclaimer: Those looking for a brief description of the album will find what their looking for in the "Review Body" section. The section titled "Track Reviews" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the songs, and ...

Pros: Craftsmanship, polish, attention to detail, how else can I put this?
Cons: Having to convince your friends to let you play it even though they're "sick of that 'One Week' song."

Full Title: Now That the Dust Has Settled and We've All Had a Chance to Recapture Something Approaching Critical Distance

Human beings are capable of mind-boggling feats of laziness. We're notoriously lazy when it comes to doing what's good...

Pros: one week, that's about it
Cons: not good beats

The Barenaked Ladies are way over rated. Don't get me wrong they have a few good songs such as, One Week, and Some Fantastic, but for a band to make it big i think they need more than a couple good songs.

The reason I do not feel fondly of...

Pros: Offers a different style for a new generation of listeners
Cons: More "moody" lyrics than some of their earlier work, but if you're in the same mood then it's not a problem!

Fans of Barenaked Ladies who were around for the eight or nine years prior to the release of Stunt could certainly hear how different this CD was when compared with their first one, Gordon. Where were all the pop culture references (aside...

Pros: Better prodution quality, stronger content, Kevin Hearn, quality progression from Born on a Pirate Ship
Cons: What the heck are the words to "One Week" anyway?

In 1998, the five Canucks known as Barenaked Ladies took time from their busy touring schedule (it seems like they're always on the road, right?) to hop into the studio and record the album that would push them into the American pop scene. With the...

Pros: Strong from beginning to end.
Cons: Some songs may take a while to grow on you.

Frankly, I find it extremely hard to find good tunes these days. So when I find something as good as Stunt, it's only right to pass the love to on to everyone else!

From start to finish, Stunt is almost as enjoyable as Gordon was,...

Pros: Some of the best-written songs of the past 5 years
Cons: A few of the songs are downers - but my girlfriend likes those, so I still got my money's worth.

Like every other jerk, I went out and bought Stunt after hearing "One Week" on the radio. I expected to feel like a jerk for buying an album after hearing one song, and finding out the rest weren't worth it. To my surprise, this was a...
