They play the funny songs, but just when things threaten to get too lightweight, singer Steven Page lets loose with a riveting, scorchingly soulful rendition of 'Break Your Heart' to let everyone know they're not just clowning around.

For the discerning rock fan and/or filmgoer, Barenaked in America is about as insightful as an MTV promotional video.
