    I like lots of BNLs songs but this album sucked. With the exception of War on Drugs and maybe Take it Outside, I found the music grating. They are caricatures of themselves in song like Another Postcard (should be titled Chimpanzeeeeeee). That song sounds like it was written for a toddlers TV show. Yes the songs are catchy - cloyingly so. There is a point when silly, cute, and "fun" fall I like lots of BNLs songs but this album sucked.

    Hot damn, this is dull. Butter-knife-in-my-great-grandma's-attic dull. Skipping-rock dull. Makes-Kenny-G-hot-by-comparison-dull. Capiche? Pinch me, anything to get me out of my BNL-induced nightmare.

    Everything to Everyone is probably Barenaked Ladies' most honest album -- always touching, but serious and completely open for the first time in their 15-year career.

    When all is said and done, Everything to Everyone manages to be good for many.

    To be sure, Everything to Everyone certainly packs in the humorous moments that were largely lacking from the group's last album, 2000's Maroon. But it also shows principal songwriters Steven Page and Ed Robertson reflecting on weightier topics related to the band's double-edged popularity.
