AMG Review of Stunt
Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music GuideBy trying to mask their smart-ass humor in a big pop production, the Barenaked Ladies attempt to set themselves up for the big crossover that they nearly achieved with such past singles as "Be My Yoko Ono" and "Brian Wilson." Nothing on Stunt, the group's fourth studio album, is so clearly jokey (although "Alcohol" comes close), but they still rely on clever satire. That may irritate some listeners who would otherwise be won over by the group's increased musical skill. Never before has the band been able to pull off so many different styles, from jangly pop and alt-country to loungy ossa nova, so well. Musically, it could convince the doubters who have written off Barenaked Ladies as /p>
ovelty pranksters, but the lyrics still will stand in the way of trad-rockers predisposed to this style of music. Of course, listeners who are a little less uptight will find Stunt to be a fine collegiate party record and one of the best albums the Barenaked Ladies have released.
With all that's going on...

Well, I'm working on my college essays. I'd just like to say that I wish I could use "last minute panic" any time I wanted to. Well....I guess that would be Adderal, or Ritalin or something, so I guess not. But anyways, I'm working on these essays, and the only thing on my mind is a new song that I found. You see, my friends dad buys ipods like they were crack. I honestly don't know whats up with
