Product DescriptionFormat: Compact DiscReleased Date: August 16, 1994 Label Name: Reprise The Barenaked Ladies’ exceptional second album proves that a smash debut need not result in a shoddy follow-up. Holding true to a singular theme, the 12 songs on Maybe You Should Drive eloquently examine the pit-falls, perturbation and pain of modern relationships. With excellent musicianship and amazing vocal dexterity, the Ladies move from the clever and funny love song “Jane” to the wistful reminiscence of “You Will Be Waiting.” Except for the song “Life, In a Nutshell,” which renders into rhythm a story about a happy relationship, this disc is dominated by thoughtful reflections on the troubles of being in love. MAYBE YOU SHOULD DRIVE, embodies these pleasantries, but spices them with a handful of tongue-in-cheek jabs. The band's acoustic, jazzy music bops along as energetically as a Greenpeace canvasser in a newly gentrified neighbourhood, but the lyrics read more like the interior monologue than the sales pitch. Barenaked Ladies' lyrics stab at generational stereotypes, but are surprisingly quiet and radio-ready. Barenaked Ladies have made the clichés of youth culture seems terribly hip and fashionable. While not the teeming generational war-cry of early-'90s rap or alternative rock, the sociological observations of MAYBE YOU SHOULD DRIVE show the lighter side of twentysomething cynicism.
