In addition to familiar radio staples such as 'Pinch Me,' 'The Old Apartment,' 'Jane,' 'Alternative Girlfriend,' and the ubiquitous 'One Week,' there's a trump card on All Their Greatest Hits that ...

Barenaked Ladies Are Men
:Album Description:Second part of the Barenaked Ladies Are... recording sessions. From Amazon.ca:Barenaked Ladies Are Men is a companion disc to the predecessor, Barenaked Ladies Are Me. Although recorded during the same studio sessions, the discs were released five months apart. Are Me is the quieter of the two, while Are Men could be described as the feistier, noisier twin brother. Given their adult contemporary history, the Ladies's version of 'feisty' is hardly a venture into death metal, however Are Men contains an evolutionary quality that may well bring new fans into the fold. ...

Rock Spectacle
: :The band's goofy charm and sure-footed melodic sense is in full flower here, and the singalongs on 'Brian Wilson' and 'If I Had $1000000' are proof of the bond between band and audience. A hidden rap tribute to Ed Robertson's 'Uncle Elwyn' is vintage Bill Cosby. --Jeff Bateman

Born On A Pirate Ship [ENHANCED CD]
: :Filled with clever lyrics that range from the blatantly cynical to the mildly romantic, Born on a Pirate Ship offers more of the same musical fun the Barenaked Ladies put forth on their debut CD, Gordon, and its follow-up, Maybe You Should Drive. From the manic ravings of 'Straw Hat and Old Dirty Hank,' a musical exploration of celebrity-stalking, to the bluesy lament of 'Break Your Heart,' BNL serve up a musical complexity and rare intelligence that separate them from the pack of mostly acoustic bands who dominate radio playlists. Highlights include 'The ...
