Product Description

From Amazon.com

Electrifying performers and pure-pop songwriters of the highest order, Toronto's Barenaked Ladies have emerged over a decade as that strangest of beasts. They'll never land a dishy cover story in Mojo Magazine, but as they reflect on those ribald years between 1991 and 2001, the five can allow themselves wry smiles, knowing that sometimes, just sometimes, the cream rises to the top. 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 will prove irresistible to completists: the Ladies' buttery, acoustic version of Bruce Cockburn's "Lovers in a Dangerous Time." Recorded eons ago for a Cockburn tribute disc that almost immediately went out of print, the song has until now been a rare and highly coveted collector's item. Two news songs--"Thanks That Was Fun" and "It's Only Me (The Wizard of Magicland)"--were recorded specifically for this collection, while two others ("Brian Wilson" and "What a Good Boy") are captured live. But what really brings this album home is, ironically, "If I Had $1,000,000." One of their very first hits cut as the Ladies were learning to dovetail their so-called "acoustic hip-hop" into slicker pop sensibilities, "$1,000,000"--a simple knock-kneed love song with harmonies so tight they're practically braided--is a snapshot of a band with all the pieces in place just as the planets were about to align. --Kim Hughes

5.0 out of 5 stars Smart AND Fun, Dec 12 2001
By 
Kimberly "KimberlyS14" (Indiana United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Barenaked Ladies: All Their Greatest Hits (Disc One 1991-2001) (Audio CD)
How often do you find fun music that's intelligent? I must confess I'd only heard a few songs from BNL (you know, the same ones played over and over on small midwestern stations - smashed between the flavors of the moment) but a friend said I'd enjoy this compilation. I've had it three days and can't stop listening.

BNL's lyrics blend witty with silly (and I mean that in the fondest, pop culture sense) creating a magical experience when you get their references and something to puzzle over for a while if you don't. Their sound is so enticing - take away the least little riff or harmony and you'd be left with the typical blasé drivel permeating the airwaves today.

Each song has a short commentary by Steven Page. Since I'm not at all familiar with the group (individually or musically) this was a great way to quickly connect to what I was hearing. Every song I first heard and went, "Yuck!" quickly became a favorite after reading its story. Now I'm looking forward to seeing them live.

I'm sure it's been said before, but if you are new to BNL or only want to buy one CD, this is the one to invest in.

5.0 out of 5 stars vintage Barenaked Ladies, April 26 2004

This review is from: Barenaked Ladies: All Their Greatest Hits (Disc One 1991-2001) (Audio CD)
This is easy-listening rock that does not suck. Barenaked Ladies basically sound like the Beach Boys but better, more depth and talent. This is a great collection of their best songs, new and old. they also have the best name of any band <g>

5.0 out of 5 stars definitely all their greatest hits, Jan 16 2004

This review is from: Barenaked Ladies: All Their Greatest Hits (Disc One 1991-2001) (Audio CD)
Barenaked Ladies have a great place in music. They release songs that are funny, catchy, and thought-provoking. This collection captures the ones that made it to the radio. Sometimes, that's not what you want as an introduction to a band, but occasionally it works. This compilation definitely works.

I put this album into my CD player (well, usually my iPod) when I want to be in a good mood. There is simply no resisting the toe-tapping goodness of 'Alternative Girlfriend' and their early hit 'If I had $1,000,000'. 'Jane' and the cover of 'Lovers in a Dangerous Time' prove that the Barenaked Ladies aren't just funny, but can weave a tight song comprised of excellent vocals and a strong band.

Even if this is the only Barenaked Ladies album that you'll ever own, go see their live concerts. A concert with them is not to be missed. They add hilarious improvs, do impromptu covers of any artist under the sun, and comfortably chat with the audience.
