It lasted almost 20 years, but it was time to move on. Now we're doing something that feels really fresh and exciting to me. His departure left four singers and three multi-instrumentalists in the band, so we're not lacking for musical ideas, and now there's more room for the other writers in the band to bring songs to the table.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.amazon.com/All-Good-Time-Barenaked-Ladies/dp/B00368PSHS |title=review of ''All in Good Time'' |website=Amazon.com |access-date=2011-06-06 |archive-date=March 9, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160309160019/http://www.amazon.com/All-Good-Time-Barenaked-Ladies/dp/B00368PSHS |url-status=live }}</ref>}} As a quartet, Barenaked Ladies began recording a new album in May 2009 with producer [[Michael Phillip Wojewoda]].
