Silly and Naked: Canadian Rockers Return to Roots
By BRIAN HERBERGER | Nov. 3, 2003In the past few years, Barenaked Ladies fans have not had much reason for excitement. After constant touring and hard work for most of the 1990's, the band has been on a well deserved break since their fifth studio album, 2000's "Maroon."After getting nationwide radio play with pop singles "One Week" and "It's All Been Done," both off 1998's "Stunt," lead singers Steven Page and Ed Robertson have shifted gears on their latest release, "Everything to Everyone." With songs similar to the unique tracks on the band's debut, 1992's "Gordon," their new material looks to revive the carefree roots of their best known song, "If I Had $1,000,000."The album starts off with a few upbeat pop songs, but slows down as it nears the end.
