Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: Filled with clever lyrics that range from the blatantly cynical to the mildly romantic, Born on a Pirate Ship offers more of the same musical fun the Barenaked Ladies put forth on their debut CD, Gordon, and its follow-up, Maybe You Should Drive. From the manic ravings of "Straw Hat and Old Dirty Hank," a musical exploration of celebrity-stalking, to the bluesy lament of "Break Your Heart," BNL serve up a musical complexity and rare intelligence that separate them from the pack of mostly acoustic bands who dominate radio playlists. Highlights include "The Old Apartment," and anthem about trying to recapture lost youth and "When I Fall," a haunting song about a professional window washer. While it lacks some of the raw energy of their earlier releases, Born on a Pirate Ship is still a fine offering, and the ECD clips are worth the price of the disc. --L.A. Smith

For my money, this is one of the best of all of Barenaked Ladies' albums - better than Stunt, Maroon, or Gordon for sure. They try out new sounds in ways they hadn't before, and haven't since. Born on a Pirate Ship has the ideal blend of maturity and immaturity; Stomach vs. Heart is one of their most lyrically clever songs, I Know makes me smile without fail, When I Fall and Old Apartment are very deserving of their classic status, Break Your Heart breaks mine nearly every time I hear it, and Just ...

If you haven't heard of BNL purchase any one of their CD's for an experience you will enjoy forever.
If you have heard of BNL, 'nuff said for you have this album.
For those of you who wonder....there is not another musical group on this planet that has brought such a depth and breath to music since the Beatles. Once again, 'nuff said.

Barenaked Ladies is a fantastic band, but this is not one of their better albums. Half the album is really good and half of it is not so good; I'd feel embarassed to play it to other people. There are several songs that are kind of 'wacky', which sound like someone has written the lyrics and then tried to fit them to a tune - like they're trying to fit in as many random words as they can and the tune is an inconvenient thing they had to come up with at the last minute.

It had to happen sooner or later...the genius of GORDON and the solid artistry of MAYBE YOU SHOULD DRIVE give way to this less stellar effort. For the first time, I find myself thinking of tracks by them as "bad" rather than merely middling.
HIGHLIGHTS:
"When I Fall" is the tale of a skyscraper window washer who toys with jumping because of his role's futility. ("I look like a painter, behind all the grease/But painting's creating, and I'm just erasing") "The Old Apartment" is vandalism ... Read More
