STUNT Barenaked Ladies
(out of five stars)
The Barenaked Ladies fourth studio
album, Stunt, released last
Tuesday, July 7, might be the vehicle
that sends them into the national
spotlight, maybe even to the level of
becoming a household name.
Though they might only have a
cult following in the U.S., the are definitely
stars in
Canada, their
home country. /
Along with , .
Alanis Morrisette, D 3 k
Bryan Adams and
Sarah McLachlan,
the Barenaked
Ladies are representative
of the i
best musical tal- \
ent to emerge from
Canada. _
BNL formed
10 years ago and V C
releasedtheir clas- V ' <ji
sic album Gordon
in 1992, demonstrating their versatility
in creating both novelty songs as
well as ballads and everything inbetween.
Their latest effort, Stunt, reveals
yet another facet of the Ladies' talent.
While Steven Page and Ed
Robertson, who are friends from childhood,
write most of the music and

of the songs on their previous
albums.
On Stunt, however, Robertson,

didn't have any problems as far as text
book ordering. Not much has changed
except we're getting more aggressive
about getting orders from professors.
We've gotten the majority of the orders."
Oliver said he feels not being on
campus can cause additional problems
when getting books ordered for students
but that, "most departments are
cooperative."

siuiai
, 'Stunt'
also their lead guitarist, comes to the
forefront, singing most of the songs on
the album, even experimenting with
freestyle rapping on songs like "One
Week," their first single.
Their is hardly a throw-away or
"fast-forward" songs on the whole
album. Other potential singles
include "Who needs sleep?" and
"Never is Enough." These songs
reflect the Ladies' frenetic energy,
mnsiral talent, and lvrical creativity.
and the only thing that could top listening
to this album would be to see
them live.

Stunt is a good album to listen to
in the car to keep from falling asleep.
Their live album, Rock Spectacle,
released last year, just went gold in
the U.S., perhaps foreshadowing even
greater success for their latest
release.
BNL are performing on the
HORDE Tour this summer, visiting
the Blockbuster Pavillion in Charlotte
on August 15. Later m the year, they
will begin their own tour.
Oliver also said book companies
might cause delays or shortages in the
books needed.
"Our problem is not ordering the
books in time, it's not having enough
to be able to order," Oliver said.
Both managers said they feel thenstores
will be ready for the upcoming
semester.
However Brazell said, "111 believe
it when I see it. It will be a miracle n
everyone got their books on time"
