Review

Barenaked Ladies are a little less interested in the quirky and comic on their second album, perhaps recognizing that They Might Be Giants have that niche covered. Instead, though, they are showing their sensitive folk-pop roots, which makes them winning, if a little wet. (XTC, anyone?) But one thing they aren't is "alternative," a matter dealt with in the chorus of the song "Alternative Girlfriend," when they sing, "There's nothing left that won't cross over." Well put, and present company included. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

Maybe You Should Drive (commonly abbreviated MYSD) was the second full-length album by Barenaked Ladies. It was released in 1994 and has gone double platinum in Canada. It was also their first album to chart in the US.

The well-known tracks from this album include "Jane", "Alternative Girlfriend", "These Apples", "A", and "Life, in a Nutshell."

Tracks recorded for this album but missing from the finished record are: an early version of "Break Your Heart" (which later appeared on Born on a Pirate Ship, except the lyrics were re-written) and "Trust Me" (later re-recorded for Born on a Pirate Ship, but not included in that album either; appears on the "Shoe Box" EP).

Keyboardist/percussionist Andy Creeggan left the band after this album and entered McGill University's Music program to improve his talents. He has since recorded four albums with his brother Jim (who is also bassist for Barenaked Ladies) under the name The Brothers Creeggan.

As with each of their early albums, the band recorded one song, "Intermittently", completely naked.
