Between the releases of 1998's STUNT and 2000's MAROON, Barenaked Ladies keyboardist/guitarist Kevin Hearn underwent (and successfully recovered from) a bout with leukemia.
Among the upbeat pop moments found on MAROON are the don't-take-yourself-so-seriously anthem "The Humour Of The Situation" and the infectious optimism of "Falling For the FirstTime", where runaway piano, chiming guitars, and perfect harmonies form an idyllic pop moment.
While there is a distinct difference from their earlier stuff and the music that earned them their reputation as a brilliant live band, and even a difference from Stunt, I feel, in the sheer quality of the lyrics and some of the music that accompanies it.

 The Mavens' Word of the Day   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
It is neither racist nor related to maroon 'to abandon' (though this word does originally refer to fugitive slaves), except through their identical pronunciation.

While I do not own BNL's complete catalogue I do own a decent number of there albums, most notably stunt, born on a pirate ship, Gordon and maroon, so I can say with a reasonable amount of confidence that this is there most "complete" release.

Simply put, there is a lot to like about "Maroon", and the fact that it gets a prominent spot in the CD changer in my car ought to tell you what I think about it.
