Artist: Barenaked Ladies
Album: All in Good Time
Label: Raisin Records
Rating: 3
Finally, the much-anticipated album from Barenaked Ladies has arrived! It definitely provides a new sound – this is not the same Barenaked Ladies of a few years back. Although their style has evolved into something less eccentric, this album offers a much wider range in genre than any of their previous records.
Most of the songs are slower, very melodic, with a rocky edge. However, some songs such as “Another Heartache” are reminiscent of a pitchy-voiced indie band or Elvis Costello, which may or may not be a good thing. But if you’re looking for something that even remotely looks like their old stuff, your best bet is to listen to “Four Seconds” which possesses that quirky, A.D.D. quality that makes you feel like you’re bouncing off the wall.
Give these tracks a listen: “Another Heartache,” “Four Seconds”
