    Welcome to the hottest, coolest, best-dressed pop album of the year.

    The fascinating thing about Gwen Stefani’s record is not how different it sounds from No Doubt, but how similar it sounds to the producers that she works with and how their collaborations usually fall flat because of the rehashing of tired ideas and plodding predictability of her arrangements.

    An exercise in pointless artifice. [23 Nov 2004]

    Great album! Only Gwen could pull this kind of thing off. This not only has pop in it's finest form but also has pints of rock, ska like her work with No Doubt such as "Danger Zone" and "What You Waiting For" and it also has an 80's feel to it with the song "The Real Thing" GREAT ALBUM!… Expand

    Album starts with it's best song "What You Waiting For?". It's followed by 3 very good pop songs "Rich Girl", "Hollaback Girl" and "Cool". Then,"Bubble Pop Electric" makes your ears bleed. Next song "Luxurious" is decent, and then comes lot of silly teen pop songs with the exception of "Crash", which is surprisingly good.… Expand

    I was truly expecting more from Gwen Stefani's latest album. I think it's fair to say that she was experimenting with her new solo career, however, i didn't feel the real Gwen. I will always respect Gwen as a trendsetter and an amazingly talented artist, however, I think she should stick to her roots..because together, No Doubt made one awesome band. Sorry but Lamb was Lame.… Expand
