Barenaked Ladies Are Me
A pretty strong first half dragged down by the Ladies' indulgence in antiwar/Bush 43 sentiment for four songs in a row towards the end of the album. Serious tracks have never been BnL's forte, and it's glaringly obvious here. Aside from "Bull in a China Shop", Steven Page sounds intensely bored; in hindsight, this album (and its twin, Are Men) showcases his increasing isolation from the rest of the band.
Track picks: "Adrift", "Bank Job", "Easy", "Bull in a China Shop", "Wind It Up"
