Album Notes
Japanese issue with bonus song, "Hidden Sun."
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. Not surprisingly, the subject matter on Barenaked Ladies' sixth album leans toward the darker side of life. Among the foreboding topics touched on are the thoughts of a car crash victim ("Tonight Is the Night I Fell Asleep At the Wheel") and countries torn by political strife ("Helicopters"). Luckily, this Canadian quintet uses a combination of impressive pop sensibility and perfect songcraft driven by undeniable hooks to lighten the mood.
So even though they might be singing about relationships that are either headed south ("Too Little Too Late") or unrealized ("Conventioneers"), the Ladies do it with an exuberance that helps sweeten some of the bitterness. 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 First Time," where runaway piano, chiming guitars, and perfect harmonies form an idyllic pop moment. An added bonus is the secret track "Hidden Sun," an ethereal piano-driven song about internal strength, sounding like something They Might Be Giants might have written in a serious moment.
