Well I'll give No Doubt the benefit of doubt and reserve my accusations of "Sell Out" until the release of their next album. I can appreciate a band that experiments with new sounds and mixing the genres. They've been doing a lot of stuff with R&B artists these days which, even though I can't stand R&B, I didn't think it was all that bad. I'm open minded enough to go along with their experimentation as it gives us something new to consider.
But only for awhile....
If they continue to dumb-down their lyrics and do catchy dance tunes in the future I won't be able to play along anymore and they will, sad to say, lose me as a fan as well. I mean, that song with the phrase "Keep on dancing" repeated over and over again did absolutely nothing for me. 🙁
OTOH, Gwyn's body will always do a lot for me!! And so what if she didn't shave her armpits. That could be sexy on certain women, and she's one of them! 🙂
