Album Review

Gordon picks up where the Barenaked Ladies' famous demo "The Yellow Tape" left off and moves them into majors. Their first for Reprise, this witty songbook finds the Canadian five-piece to be a clever group — charming, but not childish, yet the Barenaked Ladies are pretty close to overstepping the boundaries of silliness. The thing that keeps them in line is their sharp harmonies. Shared vocals between guitarist Ed Robertson and Steven Page are refreshing and upbeat, especially on reworked versions of "Brian Wilson," "Be My Yoko Ono," and the eternal favorite "If I Had a $1000000 Dollars." "Hello City" and "Box Set" are slick narratives, making for album standouts with its jazz-cool blend. Other shiny moments, such as "Enid" and "Grade 9," are humorous in reflecting upon adolescence, while "Wrap Your Arms Around Me" showcases the Barenaked Ladies' more romantic side. Through all the jokes, these guys are a bunch of suckers for love and such sensitivity is a great match for their quirky musical persona. Gordon is a great introduction to the Barenaked Ladies' sweet comic relief and it's sure to be a college rock mainstay.

Customer Reviews

People keep stealing this CD

I've bought it 3 times. Canadian Woodface with better jokes. One of the not many albums my family can sing from one end to the other (long car journeys see it played two or three times - by popular request). Special merit to Grade 9, Yoko and Box Set.

Excellent, barenaked at their best!

only two songs on this cd I would class as not worthy of a barenaked cd! second only to stunt

Inspirational tunes, riffs and lyrics

I have been aware of BNL for ages, used to have a few tapes which left when the car was sold. I was sitting stumming 'Brian Wilson' and thought i must get that from iTunes, trawing the albums for the right version, I found 'Gordon', downloaded and havent stopped listening to it since thats been one week (i down loaded that to). For a strumming guitarist its a great set of song to follow and shows that you can realy get into the fun style the guys have - check out the Bathroom Sessions on Youtube.
