    To be sure, there are a few great BNL songs here, 'Testing 1,2,3', 'Celebrity'. and 'For You' really stand out. But there are also some big clunkers here, the annoying 'Another Postcard' and the insipid 'Shopping'... and in the end this CD just can't measure up to their better work on 'Stunt' and 'Gordon'.

What seems to be missing from 'Everything to Everyone' is the usual BNL feeling that you're listening to good music AND having a good time. Expand

  1. 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.
  2. When all is said and done, Everything to Everyone manages to be good for many.
  3. 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.
