I've never been a fan of No Doubt, but I decided to take a chance on the LAMB album, and I'm loving it. I'm gonna catch it for saying this, but this is the Madonna album I've been waiting to hear since after "Bedtime Stories" came out. It's fun and sexy and funky and dumb in a way that you just wanna give in to.

And RICH GIRL makes me wanna shake the ass.

Is that the name of the single? I'm loving it too. It's like half the good things about the 80's came back in a sexy little package.

Damn, I've still gotta hear that one. I heard it's laced with New Wave-style tracks, for which I cannot deny. Her latest single is pretty cool. And I heard she does a kick-ass track with Andre 3000.

The fucking nerve of the New York Times to badly review her the way they did. They also said that New Wave was the worst era of music.

What do those dickheads know anyway? They're probably Journey fans.

i dunno if it's the single, but it's got eve on it and it's just so ridiculous and funky that i can hardly stand it.

Anxiety said:

I was wrong. The single is "What You Waiting For?" look at your watch now...you're still a super-hot fe-male... She does some heavy breathing in this song that's, uh, getting to me.

i can TOTALLY hear the prince influence all over this album. it's up, down and all over the place. i'm soooo digging on this album.

Think what that money could bring
I'd buy everything
Clean out Vivienne Westwood
In my Galliano gown
No, wouldn't just have one hood
A Hollywood mansion if I could
Please book me first class to my fancy house in London town

If I was rich girl
See, I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
Cause I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
I'd get me four Harajuku girls to
Inspire me and they'd come to my rescue
I'd dress them wicked, I'd give them names
Love, Angel, Music, Baby
Hurry up and come and save me

Come together all over the world
From the hoods of Japan Harajuku girls
What? It's all love
What? Give it up
What? (shouldn't matter) What?
Come together all over the world
From the hood of Japan Harajuku girls
What? It's all the love
What? Give it up
What? (shouldn't matter)
What happened to my life? Turned up side down
Chicks dat blew ya mind, ding, it's the second round
Original track and ring
You know you can't buy these things
See Stefani and her L.A.M.B I rock the fetish people you know who I am

::clappin::

Yes ma'am, we got the style that's wicked
I hope you can all keep up
We climbed all the way from the bottom to the top
now we ain't gettin' nothing but

Okay, now Harajuku Girls is kicking my butt. Dang.

U like it then!

eh, it's okay.

I can't wait to pick this cd up after work? has anyone bought the limited edition pacakging yet? what's it like? I plan to buy that one, as i'm a sucker for pretty packaging. I think i'm also going to buy the Plantlife cd. I'm hearing too many great things about it! Finally, some good music!

i wasn't swayed by the limited edition version, but it looked pretty enough - it comes with a t-shirt and it has a little pink ribbon thing. usually i'll only get limited edition stuff if it's got decent extra music or video on it, and the LAMB cd didn't look to have much of either - plus i'm not that big of a no doubt fan, and i just wanted to hear the album. but if she's your thang, i think you'll be excited with the limited edition package.

Anxiety said:

Don't believe it.

He's typing this with the pink ribbon in his hair.

FunkMistress said:

LIES!!!!












i actually turned the ribbon into a fetching little choker.

Anxiety said:

Madonna's too old to be making an album like this.

CynicKill said:

American Life probably would have been, if she'd not broomed half of the dance tracks on the early version and replaced them with the mid-tempo stuff and ballads.

all roads lead to Madonna

Anxiety said:

any idea what's on the t-shirt? if it's the album cover, it may be worth it. althought, it'd probably only fit a teenage girl or some skinny little bitch of a queer and not this rather girthy queer

LOVIN this track and this whole cd. I wasn't really into the first single but when I heard Rich Girl, I had to have the cd. I am so glad I did not go by the first track, the rest of the cd is H-O-T!

"No matter how hard she tries, she is not a cultural trailblazer like Madonna. Unlike Madge, she willingly adapts to her collaborators instead of forcing them to adapt to her, which means that L.A.M.B. truly does sound like the work of seven different producers instead of one strong-willed artist. Nevertheless, even if it doesn't work all the time -- and some of its best tracks still have moments that induce a withering cringe -- it's a glitzy, wild ride that's stranger and often more entertaining than nearly any other mainstream pop album of 2004."

Are you serious? I can't stand it! I was just Madonna should thank Gwen for doing this track with Dre in case she thinks of approaching him (as it was rumoured she had for what became "American Life"). Lighting did not strike twice (the first time being "Let Me Blow Your Mind"). So far, I'm not in love with the album but think that the single was worth the purchase. I might have to give it time.

I keep hearing people say they don't like the first single and so far, it's the only song on the album I really like (keep in mind, I've only listened up to and including "Harajuku Girls" and a tiny bit of "Crash", both of which I was kind of digging.

Good news, Anx (and all "Rich Girl" admirers)...

Rich Girl is the next single from L.A.M.B. The video was shot on the 20/21st of this month. The radio version is different from the album version; Eve raps twice in radio version.

The album sounds like make-up & hair-spray..I Like the dense synth lines.
but still...It sounds like 2 much thinking upon 1st few listens.

GrayKing said:

yeah, her album cover's cool I wouldn't mind having the shirt either.

so far, the only song on the album i don't care for is the last song - and it's not that i don't like that song, it's just the song i like the least. i'm not understanding if it's supposed to be a sexy little duet with andre3000 or a heartfelt tribute to MLK...i guess it could be both.

WHY did I put this on my family Xmas list? I'm not allowed to buy it now! DAMMIT!
