Too much and Not Enough

Review Score: (4/10)
That is the best way to describe the Barenaked Ladies. This album exemplifies it. While no song on the album is just straight awful, the album and the band lack something undeniable. In some ways, they want to goof off and do it completely in some songs. In others, they make various witty remarks while trying to encompass a serious topic- Alcohol. It all falls just a touch short of complete sincerity. They are like a bunch of fraternity brothers rocking out at the Delta House at the local private college on a Saturday night. That makes the CD just a few listens before throwing the CD and moving on to Britney Spears or Soundgarden, whichever way your musical tastes lie. Make no mistake, Stunt is a powerful record industry promoted pop powerhouse of an album. If you're the kind of person who likes the change of pace your local pop radio station gives you, this album could be very well-recieved by you. It's just not me.
