Although I must say that Adam Duritz looks pretty ridiculous too. And random observation: the guy in the red t-shirt has a wedding ring on...sorry ladies!!!!

The thing is, they look like *actual retards.* Like the album looks like it was conceived, recorded, and designed by five people living in a group home.

thing is, I actually want to buy the LP now...this cover has more use value than any "artwork" I've analyzed in the last couple of years...

Gordon picks up where the Barenaked Ladies' famous demo "The Yellow Tape" left off and moves them into majors. Their first for Reprise, this witty songbook finds the Canadian five-piece to be a clever group -- charming, but not childish, yet the Barenaked Ladies are pretty close to overstepping the boundaries of silliness. The thing that keeps them in line is their sharp harmonies. Shared vocals between guitarist Ed Robertson and Steven Page are refreshing and upbeat, especially on reworked versions of "Brian Wilson," "Be My Yoko Ono," and the eternal favorite "If I Had a $1000000 Dollars." "Hello City" and "Box Set" are slick narratives, making for album standouts with its jazz-cool blend. Other shiny moments, such as "Enid" and "Grade 9," are humorous in reflecting upon adolescence, while "Wrap Your Arms Around Me" showcases the Barenaked Ladies' more romantic side. Through all the jokes, these guys are a bunch of suckers for love and such sensitivity is a great match for their quirky musical persona. Gordon is a great introduction to the Barenaked Ladies' sweet comic relief and it's sure to be a college rock mainstay.

I heard this record every fucking day for about a year and a half when I was working at my first record store job (in Canada, obv). And we sold TRUCKLOADS of this motherfucker. I worked with a guy who looked like a member of the Muppet band (and on second thought, he wouldn't have looked out of place on this record cover). He had a tight, curly afro that resembled the hairdo of Howie Mandell. Anyways, he was the fuck chop that insisted on playing this drivel day-in, day-out.
I bet I could sing you the whole record.
Sometime in 93, I was at a show in Calgary, and Fatbeard Badshave walked in. And pretty much everyone in the whole bar was mortified and making fun of him. It was hilar.

an acquaintance at a party attempted (yet again) to convince me of the BNL's greatness. he did not succeed. We also argued about the virtues (or lack thereof, imho) of Bono's public politics. Good thing I was deeeeeeeerunk on Grey Goose.

I'm guessing the guys that seem the least fat/bald/goofy, but you might like those qualities...

Stephen Page has a voice that an angle would be envious of.

This actually makes sense.

From intimate solo shows to jam sessions to a rollicking karaoke party with BNL, Ships and Dip is a must for the true Barenaked Ladies aficionado. Also joining the fun will be our friends Guster, Brothers Creegan, Thinbuckle and others. And don't forget, everyone has to have a passport!

Of course, for reasons only we know, in the UK the words "Gordon" and "Moron" have gone together since 1978 or thereabouts.

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 24 August 2006 06:07 (nineteen years ago)

theres an awesome song by early 80 uk punk klezmer heros THE CRAVATS called GORDON.

― chaki (chaki), Thursday, 24 August 2006 06:18 (nineteen years ago)

My own top 5:

#5: married man cowering from Pepsi logo (way to be subversive, dude!)

#4: Green beret. See the above enlarged photos for reasons why.

#3: lower left corner guy: He seems to think he's a cuckoo clock.

#2: fatbeard badshave: I used to think he was trapped in "GORDON", but I realized he's
just having sex with those beautiful gray letters.

#1: fatty dread: c'mon, this guy is as cute as a little chipmunk. While all the others are begging for attention, he just keeps on punchin' his little retard hand. He's tenacious!

― cosmo vitelli (cosmo vitelli), Thursday, 24 August 2006 06:57 (nineteen years ago)
