Title: A great album by an even greater band
Product review: Those of you who were, like me, ripping your hair after the novelty of Disc One wore off, will probably find this to be a breath of fresh air: this is probably the most versatile album this band has put together since their debut album (Gordon).There are some styles of music that the Barenaked Ladies haven't tried before- "Shopping" is actually, if you can believe it, new age techno, and "Aluminum" (a personal favorite) is kinda space age piano pop. This is most definatly not meant to imply that there's nothing on here for the Maroon or Stunt lover- "Testing 1,2,3" and "War on Drugs" are each in the same vein as earlier songs. It's also worth noting that this album stays true to the Steven Page tradition of lyrical brilliance- "War on Drugs" in particular has a solid lyrical arrangement that I personally found very moving. All and all, this is a great album, and is only losing the 5th star because I disliked "Have You Seen My Love" and "For You".
