Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0093624807520 Format: Original recording remastered Label: Reprise / Wea Manufacturer: Reprise / Wea MPN: 48075 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Reprise / Wea Release Date: November 13, 2001 Studio: Reprise / Wea Editorial Review: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great stuffIf you not a real big BNL fan than this is the album to pick up. If you are a big BNL fan than you already have all these songs. These were their most famous tunes. But if you own any of their stuff (if not you should really get some) you know how great and witty all the songs are. Rating:  - Mostly good CDThese guys are pretty good musicians, the drummer stands out on several songs. Mostly pretty good songs, with some filler. I've listened to it over a dozen times, and I'm not tired of it, which is pretty high praise. jc Rating:  - Brings Back College Memories... AHHhh... No Responsibilities!!This CD was lost during my Divorce about 7-years ago. Not used very much, but when you feel the need for these great songs... the are a GREAT ASSET! They bring solice to the Soul when you need them (take your mind off of redundant pressing matters). It's FUN music! Have Fun Kids!! Rating: - All the Greatest Hits on 1 CDWhat is there to say about BNL? They Rock and those who are fans of theirs knows it. This CD is great if you just want all their very popular songs on one disc. It is perfect! Rating: - Rocking CDThis CD rocks, well worth the price. The Bare Naked Ladies fan will enjoy this CD. Shipping with Amazon was easy and quick, got CD in about 4 days with no damage.Will order from Amazon again. |
