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 · #2 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

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

I think it's awesome

Also, in the first song, you can hear Japanese blended into the background music. Dammit, I just listen too much

Anyways, it's a great song. She did a good job reviving the 80's in "Bubble Pop Electric."

The most personal song to me is "The Real Thing." Wow.. I just can't stop listening to that song

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...

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.

This is a great album. Lots of energy, lots of different sounds... I liked 'Cool' the best

I love Gwen, and No Doubt too

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

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

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 · #9 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!"

Catzi · #10 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.

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** · #12 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 · #13 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 · #14 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 · #16 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 · #17 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 · #18 22nd January 2005, 07:47 AM

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

Ayashi_koi · #19 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.
