Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B.
 
Anyone listen(ed) to it? It's okay-ish, but some of the songs are good. What's with those Japanese girls? And does anyone know what "Harajuku" is?

Brittany 20th January 2005 02:45 AM

Harajuku is a district in Tokyo and is a famous place to go shopping.. it's pretty hip with teenagers and stuff.. hehehe :P Gwen was inspired by Japanese fashion (She says her boyfriend bought her a hysteric glamour shirt..) .. so therefore, you hear her masterpiece song about them :P I think it's awesome :D Also, in the first song, you can hear Japanese blended into the background music. Dammit, I just listen too much :evillaugh

Anyways, it's a great song. She did a good job reviving the 80's in "Bubble Pop Electric." :evillaugh The most personal song to me is "The Real Thing." Wow.. I just can't stop listening to that song :o

at first i was expecting more..after rich girl's release i start listening & getting more into the album's sound, i like rich girl, what you waiting for?, hollbank girl and harakuju girl...bubble pop is kinda annoying for my ears...i dunno, the album is good only as a full i guess...

~ayu-cake~ 20th January 2005 09:11 AM

I like thr album alot, some of the songs are kinda iffy though 'bubble pop electric' really gets on my nerves though >__< I love rich girls thogh, and Harajuka girls, and Hollaback girl.

Corybobory 20th January 2005 07:26 PM

This is a great album. Lots of energy, lots of different sounds... I liked 'Cool' the best :) I love Gwen, and No Doubt too :love

rainbow_momiji™ 20th January 2005 07:34 PM

Serious, Cool, What you waiting for, Bubble Pop all these songs are amazing. love it!

Jennie Mae 20th January 2005 07:44 PM

I LOVE this CD. All the songs on it are great! It is highly recommended.
I was in love when I heard Harajuku Girls. It was so perfect. Especially when I got to impress people by telling them what is being said in the background ;)

paper_doll 20th January 2005 08:57 PM

I think Harajuku Girls has really bad lyrics ><; A lot of the songs are really catchy, but my favourite's What Are You Waiting For?

imagina12y 20th January 2005 11:45 PM

it kind of scares me how she has this japanophile vibe to her o_o

haha, i like hollaback girl cuz my friend swears the beginning is like this game she used to play in elementary school "check...check!" :confused

Catzi 21st January 2005 01:09 AM

Hollaback girl is a good song, one of my favorites.

What is being said in Japanese in "Harajuku?" But I must agree with Gwen about Japan's really great fashion.

ayu3657 21st January 2005 01:13 AM

Ah. Rich Girl annoys the hell out of me. I like all the other songs, but that one just annoys me (it doesn't help that I hate Eve). I love What You Waiting For and Hollaback Girl, but Rich Girl. Just ugh. I'd still give the album an 8/10.

Corybobory 21st January 2005 03:28 AM

Hey maybe you guys can give me your opinion on this. I thought the lyrics in What are You Waiting For? were directed towards herself, but my boyfriend though she was singing about other singers not taking risks with their music... what do you guys think? I totally think she was singing into her mirror telling herself to get off her butt, beating herself up a little bit, feeling a little pressured.

sxesven 21st January 2005 01:44 PM

I liked it overall, not bad at all. However, none of the songs seem to stand out. No classics on it, no staying power. So, average.

URANUS 21st January 2005 07:51 PM

I totally LOVED the album! I especially love RICH GIRLS and WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? All the songs are very catchy. The other night, i listened to the WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? track continuously for 5 hours. I was like addicted to the song and couldn't stop it.

I'm thinking that she's talking about herself.

URANUS 21st January 2005 07:59 PM

Everybody i have talked to thought she was singing about someone else. To me, i think it's about her when she wasn't famous back then. And i mean before the NO DOUBT.

appears 22nd January 2005 03:51 AM

i rike it a rot...
what u waiting for? is really catchy, when that tune get stuck in my head it just wont leave... and the videos freakin awesome...
also like cool, bubblepop electric, harajuku girls, crash, serious...
some tracks were pretty bland, but overall, tink its a hella good first effort from miss steffani

extepan 22nd January 2005 07:47 AM

i still like 'dont speak' fro mthe no doubt era more. the 'tragic kingdom' album rules!

Ayashi_koi 25th January 2005 03:32 AM

I haven't heard the whole cd, but from what I heard so far, I like it.

I remember watching the making-of "What You Waiting For?" and I think she said that the lyrics were directed towards herself.

MTRLevolution 9th February 2005 06:58 AM

the cd rocks. hollaback girl probably the best track.

Corybobory 9th February 2005 07:09 AM

Hey I just realized Rich Girl is a quasi-cover of some song from fiddler on the roof... the one that goes (in my roommate's imitation) "If I was a rich man, yubbi dubbi dubbi dubbi dubbi dubbi dubbi doo"

Yeah, I noticed that the first time I heard it. I thought it was funny. :)

haha when I first song I was like "where have I heard this chorus before?" and then I realized it was from Fiddler on the Roof. I was like :thud I never liked that song from Fiddler in the first place, and Gwen's "cover" of it just makes the entire Rich Girl song sound silly =/

Now that you mentioned it. :P

I loved the lyrics, it's so cool...and sexy...and hilarious.

fantaisie.sign 12th February 2005 03:53 PM

My school performed Fiddler on the Roof last year as the spring musical and since "If I Was A Rich Man" was one of my favorite songs, it was only natural to really like "Rich Girl." :laugh

"LAMB" along with Christina Aguilera's "Stripped" are 2 of my favorite American albums. Both are produced incredibly well and have very catchy songs. Whenever I play "LAMB" my most listened to tracks are "What You Waiting For," "Rich Girl," "Bubble Pop Electric" (my favorite!), "Luxurious," and "Danger Zone." I guess my least favorite is "Hollaback Girl" because of hearing the s-word over and over again, but the ". . .is bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S!" part is hilarious.

LEOyumi 13th February 2005 08:49 PM

I love this album, really good! =D~~~~~
I'm not a fan of No Doubt, but after hearing it, I fell in love with Gwen.

Aisha_Angel 13th February 2005 09:46 PM

I haven't heard any of Gwen's songs except for the two singles she's released and they're really good. She's supposed to be having this contest sponsered by MTV at MTV.com. The grand prize winner gets to go to Japan and get madeover Gwen style and be an extra in one of her videos with the Harajuku Girls I think you also get $25,000 (or that's how much the makeover will cost)...I'd sign up but you must be 18 years+...So goodluck to anyone who's going to sign-up.

fantaisie.sign 14th February 2005 01:47 AM

^ Oh wow! Perhaps I should sign up for that. But what exactly is "Gwen" style? Is it all LAMB clothes and purses or is harajuku makeup included?

Corybobory 14th February 2005 04:28 PM

Noooo! It's only open to people from the states :( Come on, dont leave out Canada! I want to go to Japan!

eriko 15th February 2005 10:46 AM

..:DisarO:.. 20th February 2005 03:06 AM

I've just downloaded her new album. It looks like fashion week's soundtrack. =p

The songs are catchy. I like What You Waiting For and Danger zone but I'm not so into her songs. =]

mui-gei-tal 21st February 2005 12:59 AM

i haven't fully heard the cd before...but i really like rich girls!

Unfullfilled Juri 6th March 2005 05:37 AM

It's a decent enough CD. Mostly poppy catchy stuff that's all right for the occassional listen.

Corybobory 6th March 2005 06:12 AM

This CD is on wherever I go it seems! I love 'cool'.

lolo66 13th March 2005 05:20 PM

I like it. It's sollid.

Ayu_Fan_00 15th July 2006 03:44 AM

Her songs are excellent. Definetly buy the album. You`ll love it. I`m freakin` hooked on Gwen Stefani as you all will see. I`m replying to all the Gwen Stefani related threads.
