    Makes her mark on the industry by revamping 80's decadence and combining wit and energy with the world's dream production team

    The first track is kinda catchy but her lyrics, once emotional and confessional, are all about f**king and fashion now. She no longer exists.

    This 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!

    I expected so much more from this album, especially the Andre 3000 tracks. The song "We Got a Long Way To Go" by the two of them sounds like it was thrown together in about 5 minutes and is musically and lyrically flaccid. The slower songs on the album (Crash) are snoozers and the whole album rings of a commercial in the sneakiest way for her fashion line LAMB.

    Call 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!

    Gave it a 1 because the album as a whole makes a pretty good coaster. Post-No-Doubt Gwen's suck factor is so great it transcends all boundaries - finally something the world can agree on.

    It hops from sound to sound with little grace or warning. Too many producers with different ideas. I appreciate that in terms of pop, it was quite alternative, but it just didn't have enough consistency to hit to pop mark. Tracks like 'What You Waiting For?' and 'Danger Zone' save the album from being a totally confused throughout.

    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!

    Despite containing a wide repertoire of sounds to categorize under different sub-genres in pop, L.A.M.B. is a pop gem that crafts together these alien sounds with the glue of Stefani's pop prowess. Keen to the ear for what would cater perfectly to the pop audience, tracks such as What You Waiting For? would go on to shape the sound of pop for later years.

    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.
