 ... Pirate Ship shows they are more than just a comedy act. Steven Page's vocals are tuneful and sincere and all the songs on this album have a richness and depth to them which means the album has endured the test of time. After all, how many rock bands have a double bass on the permanent lineup and regularly feature violas in their tracks? Spider in my Room even includes Tyler Stuart playing a Fisher Price xylophone to great effect. That said, BNL are definitely on the softer side of rock taking rock rhythms and riff...more

Crowned Review Born On A Pirate Ship - Barenaked Ladies: A pirate ship not entirely filled with treasure.. (1379 words)

1996 saw Canadian alternative rockers Barenaked Ladies at a turning point. Personal problems among the band's personnel and an inability to determine the direction they would take took their toll on the group, and it's no surprise that their release that year is a patchy affair - a hotch-potch of the quirky literate pop of debut album "Gordon" and the more emotional ballads of "Maybe You Should Drive", with an unwarranted dash of genre experiments mixed in too. "Born On A Pirate Ship" is, at best, a moderate success. It improves with repeated listens as you begin to pick up on more of the lyrics, but even when you're completely familiar with ...

Okay, here it is, the latest instalment of my Barenaked set of opinions. Released way back in 1996, Born on a Pirate Ship (BOAPS) is the Barenaked Ladies? third album. For me BOAPS is a transitional album, the music is still catchy and upbeat for the most but the music looks more at the serious sides of life like relationships breaking up, than previous albums. In my opinion BOAPS is probably the weakest BNL album I own but it?s still very easy to listen to and is pretty good without being exceptional. The Barenaked Ladies are a Canadian band, who released their first album in 1992, with a distinct style best described as ?geek/jangle pop?. The BNL?s are ...

Born on a Pirate Ship was the first album that introduced me to Barenaked Ladies so I still have a fondness for it years on from when I first listened to it. In case you don't get the joke in the album's title, there's a handy reminder on the front of the cover to remind you of the daft game I used to play as a child. Try pulling your face and saying 'I was born on a pirate ship' and all will become apparent! Born on a Pirate is the third studio album from the Barenaked Ladies (BNL) who are a quirky rock outfit hailing from Canada. As I said in a previous BNL review, you might think you've never heard of them, but you probably have. Their most ...

The Fall Of Ideals - All That Remains
Better than the other bastardised metalcore bands. Uninspired and occasionally offensive (to a metal fan, I mean).

The Fantastic 80's Vol.2
Great tunes to remember Not all great songs, and not a lot of info on the album from the sleeve

The Fantastic 80's Vol.3
60 songs boring artwork

The Final Conflict - Jerry Goldsmith - Soundtrack
Grade A Jerry Goldsmith magnificence Apart from some more suspenseful moments, none at all

The Final Experiment - Ayreon
Ambitious and enthusiastic rock opera for sci-fi/fantasy fans. Confusing moral message, some really bad lyrics and some boring songs.

The First Crusade - Jakobinarina

Weapon of Ascension - Allfather
As unashamedly violent as black metal can get. Doesn't encourage newcomers.

The First Four Years - Black Flag
Affordable and convenient repackaging of earlier EPs. Short, without much in the way of original material.

The First Ten Years 1986-1995 - Altan
Folk - Irish Folk - 1995

Our Earthly Pleasures - Maximo Park
An excellent second album with a more mature sound None
