Barenaked Ladies, "Another Heartbreak" from All in Good Time (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: I've forced myself to listen to All in Good Time several times through, something that listening casually to the album had never inspired me to do, and it's a tremendous bore. I find it impossible to pay attention to the entire back half of the album. The central purpose of rock & roll is to entertain, and in this All in Good Time fails. But for all that I'm not quite ready to give up on Barenaked Ladies as a quartet. Here's hoping for better things to come. How apropos:

"Hold on, here comes another heartbreak,
Hold on, here comes another heartache,
Too bad, but it's still a chance I had to take."
