This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
After releasing a somewhat somber second effort, the Barenaked Ladies returned with BORN ON A PIRATE SHIP, an album that balanced the Barenaked Ladies' desire to explore serious lyrical concerns with the wit and exuberance that characterized their acclaimed debut album. This disc brims with bold melodies and clever lyrics that range from thoughtful pop-rock like "When I Fall" and "Same Thing," to the quirky radio hits "Shoe Box," and "The Old Apartment"--a dark, humorous song about post breakup obsession.
Due to the departure of the band's keyboardist, this is less piano-oriented than their previous efforts, which gives vocalist/guitarist Ed Robinson ample opportunity to fill in the sound with a variety of guitar textures. A welcome return to form after the moody MAYBE YOU SHOULD DRIVE, BORN ON A PIRATE SHIP established a winning formula that would earn the group international fame with their 1998 album STUNT.
