Amazon.com essential recording
On this, their debut recording for a major label, Canada's quirkiest musical troupe introduced the world to their unique blend of scathing humor, skillful musicianship, and flat-out fun. Packed with songs that have become anthems to their adoring fans, Gordon is practically a collection of Barenaked Ladies' greatest hits. This CD features "Brian Wilson," an homage to the biggest Beach Boy and an exploration of the relationship between art and neurosis; "Be My Yoko Ono," a musician's entreaty to his winsome muse; "Box Set," a relentless indictment of one-hit wonders and washed-up rockers; and the staple sing-along "If I Had $1,000,000," which you can walk around humming all day without getting bored. Literally every song on this disc features the intelligent lyrics, tight arrangements, and astonishing vocalizations that BNL have made their stock-in-trade. It's a winner all the way around. --L.A. Smith

 Newcomer to the Barenaked Ladies January 24, 2010
James W. Devine (Estero, Fl, Hampton Beach, NH, South Hadley, MA)
I heard the song "If I had a million dollars" and found out that it was performed by The Barenaked Ladies. This is a group whose name had puzzled me over the years and I had not heard any of their songs. I feel in love with this group, their harmonizing and their energy. Their love of music comes through loud and clear. For me, their harmonizing is similar to Peter, Paul and Mary a group from my generation. If you haven't heard them or their name has put you off, listen first to their million dollars and you're hooked. Enjoy!
Great album, especially for BNL fans December 24, 2009
Jason Stokes (St. Louis)
From the now classic "If I Had $1,000,000," to less popular songs like Be My Yoko Ono, this is a fun album that really sets the stage for many of their later efforts. I listened to Stunt, then bought this on a lark, and am very pleased with my purchase. Almost all of the songs are great, which is particularly rare for albums these days. The only one I typically skip is "The King of Bedside Manor," and that one is palatable.
Great kickoff to a great band! August 7, 2009

This album is pure gold! It shows BNL at their quirky, energetic young age. It has up-tempo songs such as "Hello City", "Be My Yoko Ono" and "If I Had $1,000,000" as well as some nice slow songs like "Brian Wilson", "What A Good Boy" and "Blame It On Me". A great album that I would highly recommend to any BNL fan.

BNL Rocks!! November 10, 2006
J. H. Hannen (New York, New York)
Don't let the antics of BNL live fool you...these are seriously talented, intelligent musicians who write, fun, reflective songs that span genres. Tight harmonies, tongue-in-cheek tunes...great studio stuff...but NOTHING compares to the Ladies live...where anything can happen and usually does.
