| | The Barenaked Ladies - Born On A Pirate Ship |
 | | Filled with clever lyrics that range from the blatantly cynical to the mildly romantic, Born on a Pirate Ship offers more of the same musical fun the Barenaked Ladies put forth on their debut CD, Gordon, and its follow-up, Maybe You Should Drive. |
 | | From the manic ravings of "Straw Hat and Old Dirty Hank," a musical exploration of celebrity-stalking, to the bluesy lament of "Break Your Heart," BNL serve up a musical complexity and rare intelligence that separate them from the pack of mostly acoustic bands who dominate radio playlists. |
 | | While it lacks some of the raw energy of their earlier releases, Born on a Pirate Ship is still a fine offering, and the Enhanced CD clips are worth the price of the disc. |
