AustinAAug 21, 2005No where near No Doubt's splendor, but she L.A.M.B. isn't that far off.

HerbIJan 29, 2005This CD gives me a feeling of guilty pleasure. I Iove it yet feel I shouldn't. I can't expain that except that her apeal is wide enough to reach me.. I use the CD in my work outs and when I want to relax. That quite a range. If Gwen's music can entertain a man almost 50 - she's arrived.

pietrogJan 8, 2005one of the greatest pop albums ever. Great lyrics, great voice, great producers. maybe the best album of 2004

junlMar 1, 2005i think the cd is brilliant, its different from anything else that we are so use to hearing. listening to it is like going on a strange and legal acid trip. hehe

SherryRApr 6, 2005Includes some of the catchiest, best songs ever!

-
MikeKMay 23, 2005I love the kick back to the 80's on a lot of the songs. And I think a lot of the "stranger" sounding songs, are the BEST! (ie: Hollaback Girl, Bubble Pop Electric, Crash...)

JoannaDJan 17, 2005I love this album. I don't care what the critics say. I think Gwen blows Madonna away. She is unique, talented, and is will to take risks. Who says every album has to be about substance to be good? She ROCKS
-
-
DavidC.Jan 2, 2005I just adore this album. Some of the songs sound like modern versions of 80s music. My fav songs are "What you Waiting for", "Hollaback Girl" and "Bubble Pop Electric" which both are very fun songs, "Crash", "The Real Thing" and "Serious" all have that fresh very 80s feeling to them. The whole album is just irresistable.

GeorgieMFeb 17, 2005Normally, I tend to agree with Entertainment Weekly critics, but this time Gwen was under-rated.

jimmyjo-jingleMar 7, 2005pros: A few neat songs, quite listenable, cons: the title is not relevant, some bad songs overiew: An ok album, but defenatly not for No Doubt fans

jessicaMar 8, 2005gwen stefani really knows her 80's stuff - i love it!

[Anonymous]Jun 9, 2005Very original album, very different from No Doubt. If you liked "What You Waiting For?" or "Rich Girl", this album is for you. All of the songs are great except for "Harajuku Girls" which is a little too strange for me, but overall definitely worth buying.
-
-
wadevMar 5, 2006With this first solo attempt,Gwen was not trying to make a statement - this album in her own words was just an omage to all the great music she grew up with. Not NO DOUBT,not neccessarily better,but decadent & wonderful in its own right.Adventurous,different from anything else &a breathn of fresh air to the industry....congrats! Brave!

RichWNov 22, 2004Every time she makes something, it's about 3 years ahead of everyone else - While the world is only just catching up with No Doubt's Rocksteady, she goes and kicks music forward another aeon or two. Madonna, your time is up.
-
-
AmzallthewayNov 23, 2004great 80/90's electro pop songs mixed with good blend of hip tracks. Reminds me alot of Kylie Minogue, but aimed at a maturer audience.

DwightBNov 1, 2005It's a fun pop record, that isn't made to be taken seriously, if she wanted to make a serious record she would have come out with another No Doubt disc. It's catchy, cool and stylish.

AndrewHNov 6, 2005Absolutely flawless as long as you take it at face value- as a fun, dumb dance album. Even the 'low points' ("Long Way to Go," "Luxurious") are good and the high points ("What You Waiting For," "Bubble Pop Electric," "Crash," "Danger Zone") are pure brilliance. The best record of 2004 hands down.
-
-
MarcRJan 17, 2005LAMB is one of the truly best pop cds of 2004. Britney Spears or any other pop artists cd doenst even measure up to LAMB. It's exciting from start to finish.
-
-
LisaJan 21, 2005Gwen has blown away the competition, once again, proving herself as the dominate American female vocalist and writer. Awesome collaborations and beats add to an impressive career as an artist who has continuously produced record breaking albums! Buy this CD...it's awesome! :)

RicardoBJan 25, 2005this is finally it, when we were surrounded by dead end stuff by christina, jlo,kylie,britney----then came GWEN, and swept them all away. It was high time! This is one of the best albums I have heard in a long time, by the way I am a No Doubt fan too. But gwen can't help to outshine whatever surrounds. her.
-
-
JayHJan 3, 2005Props to Gwen for using her obscene mounds of cash to purchase exactly the same collaborators I would if I were in her enviable position. Pure trashy pop which celebrates its own disposability. Plus you gotta love an album which pairs one half of New Order with Wendy & Lisa on the same song. YOU GO, Gwen!
-
-
MaisaAJan 6, 2005This album is so amazing i can't stop listening to it..I work out to it everyday..its full of energy and motivates me to run up that hill one more time.. Gwen rocks my world!!!
-
-
ClintMJan 7, 2005Hands down my favorite album of 2004! Every song on the album is unique and creative and is unlike most of what we're listening to on the radio at the moment. It'll definitely make you want to get up and dance or sing right along in your car. She proves that with or without her band she'll No Doubt be around for a long long time!!! GWEN ROCKS!!!
-
-
JohnFJan 8, 2005I like to listen to this album while i am blowing Bubblicious chewing gum bubbles and reading Seventeen magazine. Songz like "Rich Girl" and "wut u waiting 4" are so sugar-coated and fiery.
-
-
MikeBJan 9, 2005This is one of the best albums I have purchased. It sounds like she decided to skip the cheesy love songs, and just go for songs that are fun to listen to and make you want to move. Overall a focused and well composed album. a bajillion thumbs up.

LoisTSep 29, 2005A fesh, new 80-s inspired pop album! Some songs are similar though the strong theme throughout the album cover's that up.
-
-
KyleighHFeb 11, 2006This was a good debut album for Gwen Stefani. She has really broken out of her "No Doubt" years. I hope that Gwen Stefani comes out with a sophomore album soon because this album is pretty popular.
-
-
LarkSAug 24, 2006The Best Cd of the whooole year. seriously.
-
-
BorisfSep 24, 2006though Gwen sometimes sounds like shes stretching her voice too far the album is a refreshing splash of color in todays black and white music scene she proves she can handle almost any type of music: hip hop. pop, dance, rock, & R&B
-
-
JoseDNov 21, 2004Insane!
-
-
TiffNov 21, 2004Most No Doubt albums play out like kids with severe ADD... but Gwen's obsesion with Japanese school girls leads to a common focal point, and therefore a much more cohesive album... this is an extremely strong solo album. The songs are easily weird and fantastic, easy to pick up on upon first listen
-
-
DaveSNov 22, 2004This is some great 80's/90's pop, like Madonna at her best.
-
-
LocoTinoNov 23, 2004This album is dizzily insane and 100% entertaining. I only wish Gwen came with the album :(

EvanSNov 26, 2004Only Gwen could pull something like this off, and if anyone else attempted it, it would be laughable. But my grl Gwen has a certain cool factor that is unmatched by anyone, from her army of Harajuku grls to her off the wall music. Definitely one of the greatest creative songwriters of our time!
-
-
RandyBNov 28, 2004A great listen that takes you back to the 80's sounds but with today's style and flare.
-
-
KevinLDec 12, 2004An amazing CD! With much effort put in, Gwen Stefani would get more and more fans with this album. With catchy tracks like What You Waiting For, Rich Girl, Hollaback Girl and Harajuku Girls, the songs included should satisfy any fans of hers or pop songs listeners.
-
-
CarmenMDec 21, 2004I think Gwen is fabulous, beautiful, and fun!! She is a creative and original artist I think she did a wonderful job!
-
-
EdTDec 20, 2004What are you waiting for people? BUY the CD!! It's worth it. This whole point of the CD is to tribute the music from the 80s ... and she did it!! It's fun to dance to! It's the perfect gift for christmas too!! What are you waiting for?
-
-
DwightVDec 3, 2004This album is creative and hard to pin down to one genre, but its mostly hip-hop, r&b, dance and pop. She had a good reason to go solo...
-
-
markaDec 4, 2004I love 10/12 tracks and it's great even if it is more of a 80's sound than I thought it was going to be.
-
-
TezEDec 6, 2004Fantastic Cd! It's showing a different side of Gwen! I love it!

JayMDec 25, 2006An exceptional jewel of a pop album, each song is a different personality and a complete masterpiece in and of itself. Producers, Dr. Dre, Nelle Hooper, Tony Kanal, and the Neptunes have helped Stefani craft possibly the best album of the 2000s
-
-
NickMDec 9, 2006Usually I am not a fan of this type of music, but I found this cd to have a lot of catchy songs on it, and overall is just a fun cd to listen to. Maybe it isnt the most artistic cd, and its deffinatly not the most sophisticated, but it does provide some fun.
-

BrettRNov 23, 2004Makes her mark on the industry by revamping 80's decadence and combining wit and energy with the world's dream production team
-
-
CherylB.Nov 23, 2004This album clearly defines why I am a fan of Gwen S. She has a style all her own, and marches to the beat of a different drummer. Her album is unlike any other's. I have bought many CD's this year, but Angel Love Music Baby is definitely ahead of the class. A non stop party, Love it!

MumblesHNov 29, 2004Call me biased since I already love Gwen and am a huge fan of No Doubt, but this album lived up to my expectations, that it would be awesome! I hope to be hearing it in dance clubs!

BrittaneyDec 11, 2004I dont understand how anyone could say this album is not good...Gwen Stafani is one of the best artists EVER...
-
-
Mar 11, 2012Great 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!

And as per usual, Gwen ended Madonna. -
Dec 22, 2022ICONIC! the singles on this album were amazing and the album tracks were amazing best album of the mid 2000s
Awards & Rankings
-
LAMB has one mega-hit, one okay song, three stillborns, and seven full-fledged embarrassments.
-
An ultra sleek and, it has to be said, generally impressive, 80s-inspired party record.
-
The subject matter on the indistinguishably titled Love, Angel, Music, Baby is painfully mainstream throughout.
