I was planning to do a shot every time I read "mature." Neither used it.
There's a "grown-up" in the Star. Does that count?

here's another one. a little more critical, but they said some things i liked too.

"Both Page and Robertson have always been better songwriters than they get credit for being, the depth in their work often overlooked for the sillier aspects of the Ladies’ shtick and that always seemed to bother Page the most.

Sure! What the hell! Drink away.

I found this opening line from Globe & Mail an interesting observation: "The Steven Page-less Barenaked Ladies sound more like a band than a duo with backing musicians."

Liked that review, plus they get points for using the word "vituperation." I was always taught to write on a fourth-grade level in my journo classes. Maybe Canadian journalists are taught differently. :-)

Here's hoping the good reviews keep coming. This effort surely deserves it.
