Title: After this it's all downhill
Review: This is a fabulous album. It rocks, it's funky and the lyrics are excellent. This album shows how much talent this band has if they want to use it. Unfortunately, after this it's all downhill. The reason this album is so good is because Gwen Stefani had such a limited role in the songwriting process. She got into the mix late after the band's lead singer committed suicide. The more Gwen got involved in the songwriting process, the worse the band's music got. She should stick to singing, which is something she's very good at. And, after her brother, Eric, split the band, they really got bad. Now all they write and play is bubblegum pop music marketed towards 14 year-old girls. Return of Saturn and Rock Steady are horrible albums. I would definitely recommend this album, but I can't recommend anything after this.
