gwen stefani was good in no doubt, but this album was kinda dull and blah, most of her songs sound the same.
Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.I never thought about getting this album until a week ago or so. I don't know how I lived without it before. Songs 1-8 and 12 are absolutely great. (9-11 weren't my cup of tea). Gwen is quirky, but not to the point where she is hard to listen to. She has enough talent to pull of silly songs that would make others just look...idiotic. 'What You Waiting For?' simply couldn't be done by any other artist. This is unique Pop.
It does have a few tracks that are sexually charged but loosely covered, so if that's not your thing, be prepared. :P
Personal Favs: Bubble Pop Electric, Long Way To Go, Hollaback Girl.

gwen is one the best artists ever but it's just that it seemed that the profound songwriting got dumped in a blackhole or something.. let's put it this way! if you're a"no doubt"fan, appreciates ska/punk/pop music,know gwen's music for years, you'll be disappointed with this album. but. if you just found out about gwen stefani, or this is the first time you knew her and has never listened to her masterpiece before, then definitely you will love this. i'm just a hard core no doubt fan and a hard core gwen stefani that's why... sigh...

Gwen and her lyrics go hand in hand. Some songs I loved. For example, "What You Waiting For", "Rich Girl", "Luxurious", and "Serious". Some songs I had to grow into liking, "Hollabackgirl", and "Cool". The rest of the songs were about sex and it worked my nerves after a while. She can do better. Some of the songs were not needed or she could have changed it up with productions of Neptunes. Give her some time and she'll come back more unique and harder than ever.

(note...this review may seem kinda jammed together...there were supposed to be paragraph seperations but my computer is being weird...so all the paragraphs are now jammed together, so this review may seem a little confusing, and clutter...im really sorry) im truly sick and tired of all these "reviews" that clutter the Barnes & Noble web site that state their admiration or deep detestation of L.A.M.B. in a mere three sentence desprition. so, far everyone who actually WANTS to know how this record is...just read ahead... Gwen Stefani, is of course, best know for head-lining her genre-blending, reggea/ska/alt-pop group NO DOUBT. Yet, with her a reinvention of her image in the early 2000's, it was inevitable that soon she would drift away from her bandmates and release a record that was truly her own...and something that would never have been able to be created with the name "No Doubt" slapped across the Cd cover. So Gwen departed from her group, hook up with an array of talented producers, and released the colorful, trippy "Love. Angel. Music. Baby." Released in November 2004, the album is STILL in the Billboard Top 100 a year after its release. Gwen Stefani shows she has MAD skills on this record. While on the surface "L.A.M.B." may feel like a happy lil' dance album, with catchy beats, addicting lyrics, and marketing ploys flung all around. But, with a deeper look, Gwen's album is something so much more: its a modern day pop masterpiece. Pulling heavily from Madonna, this girl throws down little pop gems that are brilliant in their delieverance and pure delicious guilty-pleasure way. While I won't disect each and every track, Gwen warps the first half of her album into a giddy, eclectic roller coaster at warp speed: flying from the excellently written "What You Waiting For?" to the reggae remodleing of a Fiddle On the Roof showtune in "Rich Girl." Mrs. Stefani throws down her cheerleadin beats in "Hollaback Girl" (by far the reigning champ as Hottest Song of the Summer in 2005) to the seriously low-key beauty of lost love in "Cool." After the first four tracks, though, Gwen calms down...but just a tad. She comes on like a crazy, sex-obsessed teen in "Bubble Pop Electric" and from their delievers some delicious 80's thowbacks, with beautiful rifts and catchy hooks. I would even say that Gwen's album may be the best album of late 2004/2005 just because this kind of pop music is relativly dead...the last time its been seen in such FINE fashion was in the 80's, most notable with Madonna. And Gwen does take a page from Madonna's book, using her sex symbol image and newly-dubbed fashonista title to create not just a uphoria of sound but also of sight. All in all, this is a reccord for pop fanatics and 80's lovers that should not, should NOT be missed out on. And I will even venture to say that, while Madonna is truly a legend in her own by recreating pop music, Madonna is dead to today's society...and now we've got a classy girl that is willing and ready to take her shoes. I think Gwen Stefani can do a beautifully job of becoming this generations Madonna, and by becoming a POP QUEEN and SEXY DIVA, this girl can overcome the drama of today's shoqbiz and deliver us some music that is truly fitting. ***for Gwen LOVERS...*** i was recently lucky enough to attend Gwens concert in Fairfax, Viringa, with the Black Eyed Peas opening for her in the Harajuku Lovers Tour 2005. let me just say that the concert was FANTASTIC and PURE AMAZMENT...i cannot ever fully describe the experience in words. by far the BEST conert i have ever been too, Gwen Stefani but on a beautiful show, working the crowd into a frenzied mess and, with elaborate costume changes, sexy dance moves, and elaborate stage workings, it was purly a LIVE SHOW. this is NOT a tour to miss, and if Gwen is stoppin by, make SURE SURE SURE to get tickets to this

When i heard this cd, i thought it was very original and funky. It's kind of old school. There are a lot of good songs on this album and definately an original sound. I think her songs match her personnal style. It's a very up-beat, feel-good CD!!!

When 'Return to Saturn' did not sell well Gwen went hip-hop. When that was successful Gwen transformed into some kind of club girl/hip hopper. Hey, whatever keeps you on MTV and in all the magazines. Your product now. Who cares about the music? Her husband must be confused. Gavin probably thinks to himself, "Didn't I marry a rock and ska chick?". Gwen is a fraud and a media and studio creation. Hip-hop sells and that is what she be today. Banannas indeed. Don't get me started on her fashion sense. Look up the word garish and that is a good start. She looks a bomb exploded in her dressing room. Be who you are and stop trying to be some 21st century diva. That's it.

I was a huge No Doubt fan. When I heard Gwen was going solo, I bought this cd. I liked it a lot. It's really good but it is different from No Doubt. It's worth buying and has a couple good songs on it. "Hollaback Girl" and "Cool" are 2 of my favorite tracks on it.

This cd is awesome. I thought that she wasn't going to be very good solo but OMG! she is awesome. I LOVE HOLLABACK GIRL!. It's the best song ever. Even though she swears. " heard that you were talking s**t And you didn't think that I would hear it People hear you talking like that, getting everybody fired up So I'm ready to attack, gonna take you out That's right, put your pom-poms downs, getting everybody fired up...." I bought this cd on the strength of Hollaback girl and then i listened to the whole CD and began loving it

Just like almost everyone else's music in the industry today, I would say that the song writers have written catchy songs, that any other artist could sing. They all sound so much alike these days. So, I do like the music, but Stefani is a very average singer. I also feel like she is trying to copy Madonna too much. Not here to put anyone down, but she will never be a Madonna, or even close. But, I like her CD :)

I have to say, she does swear in hollaback girl and that is my favorite song. I'm a kid and really don't like that word (You would know what I meant if you heard the song). Cool songs, but in some of her song, you don't even know where she is going with it or what the song means! I'm confused on this album.

This album is full of good beats and smooth style. It doesn't really belong to any one genre, since it incorporates hip-hop, electronica, rock, and even a little bit of No Doubt's ska roots into one heated mix. My favourite tracks are "What You Waiting For?", "Rich Girl", "Hollaback Girl", "Bubble Pop Electric", and "Crash." Gwen Stefani has her own unique style, in fashion AND in music. She has gone completely commercial since her solo debut with her corresponding clothing line "L.A.M.B." hitting stores everywhere, yet she is still bubbling with originality. Although this album may seem a little too "pop"-centric for some listeners, I guarantee that it will make anybody want to get up and dance. After all, it's Love. Angel. Music. Baby!

I LOVE this album. When I first heard it, I was disappointed, but I didn't like No Doubt at first either. So, I decided to keep listening. It grew on me and now I love it. Sure, some songs are weird, but it is so Gwen, you can't help but eventually give in and enjoy it. It hasn't left my car's CD player since I got it.

Gwen Stefani has come a long way, baby, from the secondhand frocks and Doc Martens she sported during No Doubt's lean O.C. days. The onetime tomboy has blossomed into a full-fledged fashionista with her own line of handbags and accessories L.A.M.B. for Le Sport Sac, so it's only fitting that she'd take a break from her boy-band mates to record a fashion-conscious solo debut heavily inspired by her jaunts to Japan and her infatuation with trend-setting Harajuku girls. Stefani sounds best on Love. Angel. Music. Baby when she lends her purring, Dale Bozzio-meets-Madonna vocals to new waveinspired dance grooves, like the dizzying, Nellee Hoopercrafted lead single, ...
