JennTNov 20, 2001Barenaked Ladies really know how to write and perform music. This album is no exception. As a group they keep growing artistically, this provides an excellent chance for fans to follow along fulheartedly and wait to see what they come up with next. Way to go guys.

JennC.Oct 22, 2001I thought that this was one of BNL's best albums! Tonight Is the Night I fell Asleep At The Wheel is an awsome song making death seem as a joke!

StephJul 16, 2002I don't really like "Never Do Anything" or "Sell Sell Sell" but I like the rest, especially "Falling for the First Time", "Helecoptors", and "Hidden Sun".

BillSJan 12, 2007A stunningly good collection of mature, mellow, though-provoking songs. Move over One Week, this is BNL at their best.

EricS.Aug 16, 2001Ah, they went the way of They Might Be Giants. Once clever and original but now very dull and forgettable. "Gordon" is good enough.

On their latest, Maroon, they've delivered that too rare musical commodity: a disc overflowing with potential hits.
-
A borderline adult-contemporary sound that's catchy and exuberant enough to gloss over the intermittently dark verse.

But there are more moments when all-too-human messes lurk beneath the veneer of producer Don Was' perfect pop tracks, moments when the relentless sunniness of the music is pierced by sober themes (the last song, "Tonight Is the Night I Fell Asleep at the Wheel," is a graphic account of car-wreck carnage) and dark, psychological-profile assessments. In turning the snarky level down a notch, Robertson and Page haven't sacrificed the band's good-time giddiness -- they've just opened things up a bit.
