Advantages: Jane is a great song

Disadvantages: Not as good as Gordon

The first song I heard by BNL was "Jane," It really stood out amongst all the other songs being played, because its lyrics were smart and funny, and the music was great. When I found out they were Canadian, that sealed it -- I had to get the album. I am Canadian and I favor Canadian artists. I listened to it over and over and find it hard to say which tracks are the best. They're all so good! I shared it with a friend who said their musicianship was outstanding. Me, I just love the catchy songs, that sound so different than anything else being played. It's refreshing! I recommend this album to anybody who likes to hear something different, that's quality. Most musicians probably don't like comparisons, but to give an idea about these guys, I would say the combination of excellent musicianship and witty lyrics could "compare" them to Steely Dan on a happier, more fun level. I have since bought 2 more BNL albums but this one still stands out as the best, with "Stunt" a close second. Carry on guys, you're great! You have a long and prosperous future.
