Terrible! She's trying to be "old school" and has some wierd facination with Japan. I was kinda expecting it to be good, because I really like "What You Waiting For" (although usually, this stuff sucks to me, lol)

On a whole, I'd say 4/10!

Purely for her awful, totally ill-considered abortion of Talk Talk's It's my life, Gwen Stefani should be sealed in a sound-proof box and shot into space.

I was actually quite impressed by her album. Quite a lot of variety in there although her obsession with Japan and Harajuku girls is a little strange....

Those girls are, to quote what she said on Jonathon Ross "my imagination", and that no1 else should talk to them etc... (When Peter Kay offered them biscuits) I find that pretty strange...

I was thinking more of the coffeeshop residential areas of Japan that have been targetted by the younger generation. For some tangential aspect by way of Commercial Road fashion wannabe to be used by Gwen in the video is coincidental , and somewhat degrading. The song stands up by itself.

Agree withthe earlier comment about 'Its my Life' though, she should have been shot on sight.

Go there and search for Gwen Stefani - there should be short clips of it.

The download chart is as useful as DDT is to cure HIV.

'It's my Life' was a brilliant cover song! Anyone who's heard the album does it sound like ND or totally different??

It's pretty different really. A couple of songs I'd say are similar to No Doubt but mainly different. I don't know if anyone has said yet but at the mo you can listen to her new album on MTVs site.

Had this album for a while

I love Martin Gore's synth pop production

Plus I know a very sexy Canadian lady who can seriously shake her booty to What You Waiting For

Listesned to it last night, quite like it. I think Rich Girl (next single) will be a big hit. I think it sounds likes ND's Return of Saturn album.
