Multi-media component worth the money

"The songs are good, and it is nice to hear a previously unreleased song (Trust Me), but the whole reason to buy this CD is for the multi-media tracks. You get the entire video to Alternative Girlfriend and What a Good Boy, clips of many of their other videos, some live footage from a show, plus over twenty other short home-video clips of the band members recording in the studio, talking, and cavorting around town, being their zany, humorous selves. If you are a fan of the band, this CD is a must have."
Definitely Worth Buying!

"Many BNL fans ponder on why BNL released "Shoe Box EP." Some say BNL was trying to simply make money. Others say they wanted fans to hear the original version of 'If I Had $1,000,000.' Yet there is an unreleased track included on the album. "Trust Me" is a great song. That song, alone, is just enough to buy the album. It's a great track, and a wonder to me why it was not included on 'Gordon' or on 'Maybe You Should Drive.' It would have fit perfectly on each of those. I suggest to those just discovering the Barenaked Ladies to buy this one first. It's a great way to discover just why so many people love these guys."
Excellent Sample of the Ladies

"Most people do not realize that BNL does have more albums and songs besides "one week" I think that if you liked "stunt" then this is a good CD to buy if you want to sample some of their other work. The ever famous "if i had a $1000000" is on this too. And the song "Shoe Box" is fun. Whenever I listen to their music, it makes me smile, and that's the biggest compliment I can give any group."
