From Amazon.co.uk

Though they've suffered death, departure and fraught internal and external relationships, No Doubt have kept faith with fun throughout, as The Singles very clearly proves. As their troubles have made them far from prolific, it's culled almost entirely from three albums--Return of Saturn, Rock Steady and their mega-hit Tragic Kingdom--with just the quirky, warped ska of "Trapped in a Box" to represent their eponymously titled major label debut.

As said, it's excellent fun, from the opening power anthem "Just a Girl", through the ultra-modern, Madonna-like "Hey Baby" and the urgent, melodious power pop of "Excuse Me Mr" to the Chicago-style break-up ballad "Don't Speak". It's easy to see how this colourful band of Anaheim skanksters came to be seen as an energising antidote to the crushing male miserabilism of grunge. There are a few extras; a reverent cover of Talk Talk's "It's My Life", a dance-metal "Hey Baby" remix and a live repeat of the cute, Leonard Cohen-quoting "Underneath It All", featuring Gwen Stefani's vocal and a simple acoustic guitar. But, naturally, it's the hits that count and they're all here, every bouncing, beaming one of them. It's a fine testament to one of America's most enduring pop acts. --Dominic Wills

No Doubt-The Singles 1992-2003 (an unbiased review).......2007-06-17

First, let me start off by saying that this is an unbiased review. I'm not a fan of the band nor do I dislike the band. I'm a fan of all types of music. I also won't be comparing this album to any other albums from the band. This review will be strictly on this particular album. Now onto the review.

No Doubt fans will undoubtedly be thrilled to own a compilation of their favorite band's hits all on one album. Casual fans will want to partake so that they can own an album that contains mostly recognizable and loveable hits from the group.

Here's a rundown of the songs (along with my rating for each song):
Just A Girl-4/5
It's My Life-4/5
Hey Baby-3.5/5
Bathwater-4/5
Sunday Morning-4.5/5
Hella Good-3.5/5
New-3.75/5
Underneath It All-3.5/5
Excuse Me Mr.-4/5
Running-4.5/5
Spiderwebs-4/5
Simple Kind of Life-3.5/5
Don't Speak-4.5-5
Ex-Girlfriend-4/5
Trapped in a Box-3/5

So what's to like about this album? As I said above, casual fans will recognize 80% of the songs on this album. The only songs that I didn't know were "Sunday Morning" (my new favorite track from the band), "New", "Excuse Me Mr.", "Spiderwebs", and "Trapped In a Box". Fans of older No Doubt songs will be content with "Just A Girl", "Bathwater", and "Ex-Girlfriend". Fans of newer No Doubt songs will be entertained by "Hey Baby", "Hella Good", and the newest song on this album "It's My Life". There's also ton of different kinds of music to choose from. From reggae-influenced "Sunday Morning" to the more electronic sounding "Hey Baby" to the classic No Doubt sound (it's all about the guitars, baby!) in "Excuse Me Mr." to the ballads like "Don't Speak", this album is sure to please everybody!

Lyric-wise, this album has everything! You have songs about breakups and seperations. And you have songs about being "Just A Girl" and songs that make you just want to get up and dance. Vocal-wise, I prefer the older No Doubt songs to the newer ones. Gwen's voice is perfect for its genre.

Furthermore, the songs aren't in any particular order so if you listen to the album straight through, you get an eclectic mix of old and new songs.

And what's not to like? Honestly, nothing. I love every song on this album although I have to be in a certain mood to listen to the newer songs.

My rating: 5/5 stars. There's a ton of entertainment on this album. Whether you're a fan of the band's music or you just like great music in general, this album is a must have for your CD collection. It's one of the first CDs I pull out when I want a mix of everything. You won't know how much you want this CD until you have it in your hands!

Excuse me, Excuse me Mr.......2007-05-14

The rapid fire second punch that gave the audience no chance to breathe after the opening number on most of the Tragic Kingdom shows, this song went from closer to opener in the setlist before comfortably settling into the second spot right after "Tragic Kingdom". Originally the song had been played at the end of the show with Gwen's call and response of "Excuse me... excuse me mister", and "I'm in line too", the band would play as quiet as a whisper until Gwen screamed "F--- YOU MISTER!!!" where the boys would then fire up again and finish the song (and usually the show) out. It has been said that an original version was recorded that the band disliked, and when the last song for the album was penned (this being "Spiderwebs") the band insisted that they would record it if they were allowed to rerecord "Excuse Me Mr." the way they wanted. Not only did it become the version we all know, but those two songs ended up being the last recorded for Tragic Kingdom, and Gwen has called it the best recording experience the band has had. On a funny note, Tom said often that the lyrics were 'metaphorical' and 'cryptic', once even stating that Gwen's lyrics were written to sound like the song was written about a homeless person. Of course this isn't true. Or is it??? The song had been written for quite a while before it was released, as the band was playing it live in 1993 and even played an acoustic version of it on the radio show Loveline in June 1993.

Good.......2007-03-06

This Greatest hits album by No Doubt has an excellent variety of all their top songs from previous albums. I give it 5 out of 5. A recommended buy if you are a No Doubt fan.

Just Right.......2007-02-18

The perfect compilation album for the casual No Doubt fan who feels no need to own the individual albums. Most of the songs are radio standards we've heard and enjoyed a thousand times apiece.

The Best of the Best!.......2007-02-02

Wonderful collection of all their greatest hits! I actually love the commentary on the inside sleeve about how each song came about into being.

No Doubt's 1995 release, Tragic Kingdom, brought Southern California's ska scene to a national stage while elevating the band to star status. An irresistible mix of reggae, punk, and power pop, Tragic Kingdom scored several hits, among them "Spiderwebs," "Just a Girl," and "Don't Speak." Singer Gwen Stefani's looks made the group MTV shoo-ins, but her soaring voice is the real star, as evidenced by such songs as "Happy Now?"--a classic you'll-regret-you-dumped-me anthem that recalls Blondie--and the bouncy "Sunday Morning." Despite recurring themes of pain and regret, Tragic Kingdom manages to somehow feel sunny throughout. --Courtney Kemp

Customer Reviews:

Breakout, no doubt!.......2007-01-18

No Doubt deservedly hit it big when they released Tragic Kingdom. Their upbeat ska, punk, and rock influenced music stood out among the post-grunge crowd. There are several radio hits here, and the album has a lot more to offer. It's definitely a CD that is worth a spin if you like what you've heard of them before. A classic 90s album!

One excellent Ska album.......2006-11-09

No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom is really a great album and worth your money. Literally every track on it is well done. In my opinion its the last good No Doubt album. My personal favorite song is The Climb, mainly because its written in 12/8 as opposed to 4/4 time, like most popular music. Unfortunately, every other song on the album is 4/4, but it is something of a treat to hear something different. This album is really good all around and everyone can like at least one track on this album.

Welcome to the Tragic Kingdom!.......2006-07-26

This is the best album No Doubt has ever made. I still remember in 1996 when don't speak was No.1 for long weeks. I thunk this song is the best No doubt has ever made. A performance deserving a standing ovation. The rate lies down:

1. Spiderwebs. A great intro. This song is what defines No Doubt style to my opinion. I love this one. 10/10

2. Excuse me mr. I don't like this song that much. I think ''Sixteen'' should have been released as a single instead of this one. The lyrics, don't make much sense, but the piano sounds good. 6/10

3. Just a Girl. A very nice song about teenager girls. The guitar sounds great. 10/10

4. Happy Now? This song sounds good. I like it.9/10

5. Different People. Nice intro. The rest, isn't that bad. 8/10

6. Hey You. The first time I saw this song title, before I listened to it, I thought It was a remake of Pink Floyd's. This song is the strongest one. It's just rock. Doesn't have any reggae, pop or ska rythm. One of my favourites. 10/10

7. The Climb. It didn't have to take much time. This song is the boring slow one. Is actualy quiet good, but is the longest one, and it wasn't necessary at all. Up to 6 minutes!! 8/10

8. Sixteen. One of my favourites. One of the best rock songs No Doubt has ever made. It had been released as a single and I bet it would have reached the number one for weeks! Starts great, is the song that makes you stand up and jump. I was 16, and I felt like this song was to me. I felt identified with it.''You're only sixteen and you're feeling old...'' And it ends when Sunday Morning starts, with the drums. 10/10

9. Sunday Morning. I love how the song sounds, it's geat! but the lyrics doesn't help that much. But I don't care, I like it! One of my favourites. 10/10

10. Don't Speak. I have no words to describe this song. The lyrics, the sound, everything on this song is great! I think this is the best No Doubt song on their 5 studio albums!
A strong ballad. ''As we die, both you and I, with my head in my hands I sit and cry...''.10/10

11. You can do it. Doesn't sound that good. This song shouldn't have been included on this album. Is just the worst. I don't like it. 3/10

12. A very nice song. ''We gotta fing another way to make the world go 'round.'' The lyrics are great. Is just about rality. I love this song. 10/10

13. End it on this. A good one. Not that bad. 9/10

14. Tragic Kingdom. This song is like the cherry on the cake. I like the intro when it says "Permanecer sentados por favor" in Spanish. Welcome to the Tragic Kingdom! 10/10

Be sure you pick a copy of this album up. This album is No Doubt's best ever.

Fun!.......2006-07-19

You can't go wrong with this CD. It's just fun! Gwen's voice, the lyrics, the music is all good stuff!

Great New Wave/Ska Revival.......2006-07-10

I listened to this for the first time in a long time recently and was pleasantly surprised at how good it sounds.

This is the ultimate No Doubt album - terrific sound of ska/new wave/pop. Listening to this album again during our present penchant for 80's revival made me realize that "Tragic Kingdom" was about 10 years ahead of it's time.

"Spiderwebs", "Excuse Me Mr", "Just A Girl", "Sunday Morning" and "Don't Speak" are all great singles.

Hopefully this band will truly return to their great roots and return to this fine form in the near future...I think it's the perfect time!

As much as No Doubt have protested that they are a singular unit and not "Gwen and her guys," Gwen Stefani's much-touted duets with rapper Eve and techno mogul Moby did nothing to juice the boys' spotlight, which had been steadily dimming since the release of 2000's Return of Saturn. But all that banter is silenced with Rock Steady, on which the music is definitely the star, unfettered by Gwen's cutesy-clouded feminism or dumped-by-the-boyfriend woes. Having mostly departed from their ska home base, No Doubt's well-navigated exploration of hip-hop beats, reggae, and the reunion of '80s keyboards and guitars finds the group picking up the pop-rock baton that Garbage dropped with an unsettling thud. Rock Steady's delegate of stalwart producers perfectly decorate the disc with their respective expertise; Ric Ocasek (new wave), Prince (R&B), Nellee Hooper (trip-hop), Sly & Robbie (dub), and William Orbit (trance) offer some staying power to music that's always been on the edge of disposable. Despite their disparate styles, the songs complement each other like stars and stripes. This is No Doubt's best album to date, and as they continue to expand their influences, the party only gets bigger. --Beth Massa

Pop.......2007-07-24

This CD is too much of a detour from their traditional sound, but it is pretty good anyways.

Some Doubt Remains.......2007-07-20

Rock Steady by No Doubt is a mixture of good tracks with some rather fluffy, insubstantial, not too creative stuff. The album begins with some catchy, energetic tunes: Hella, Hey Baby, Making Out. Underneath it All is a slower, crooning tune. Thereafter, the album doesn't really have much punch. Detective is kinda catchy, but also silly. Don't Let Me Down and In My Head and light and bouncy. Platinum Blonde Life has a good rock edge and is a good tune to have toward the end for some balance. Overall, a very listenable album, but doesn't register too much impact on the listener. Tragic Kingdom was more forceful.

Why am I reviewing this?........2007-02-03

I have always liked No Doubt no matter what everyone says, on this album you can tell what direction the band was heading towards its more pop with a mix of everything from reggae/dance/80's new wave/funk/r'n'b/rock and No Doubt's music has always been diverse but not like this so you can understand why some fans were upset including myself, it wasn't untill I heard this at a party in 2003 thats when I dicided to check out this album cause I wasn't interested at the time and I'm the type of person who listens to heavier music. This album was good but only if you don't compare it with Tragic Kingdom, you have songs like Hella good, underneath it all, platinum blonde life, start the fire and the funky and catchy song with Prince called Waiting room which is my favorite cause it sounds like an 80's r'n'b song from Prince and Gwen does a good job of singing on this she sounds really good or Hella good ;-) bad joke, the whole album has its moments but there are some bad songs like Detective and In my head which just sounds repetitive and some parts sound like a video game with the weird sound fx. Overall this album is quite catchy and fun to listen to especially if your a No Doubt fan atleast it was better then what Gwen Stefani did with her awful solo career.

Awesone.......2007-01-10

I love No Doubt. Great Record. True to Rock Steady sound in Jamaican music. Was even recorded in Jamaica.

New Territory But Still Wonderful Music.......2006-12-29

"Rocky Steady" came just 1 year after "Return of Saturn" but there was a quite big diffrence between the two. "Rock Steady" was full of energic party songs and pretty varied with all kinds of music. On this album they also got unexpected help from other producers. The most interesting combo is perhaps Neptunes that produced "Hella Good" and Prince that co-wrote "Waiting Room" and also sings on it and Jamaican dance hall producers Sly & Robbie that helpef create a somewhat exotic sound on some songs. Nellee Hooper, Ric Ocasek, and William Orbit also helped produce even if they didn't write anything. Combared to "Saturn" this album would become full of hitsingles, but less serious music and more pop sounding then ever before. There are still plenty of Ska/New Wave songs but some longtime No Doubt fans would be dissapointed at this album being too commercial. Gwen Stefani had also apperead on Eve and Moby songs almost at the same time at this one was released and a few years later she released her debut which was a pop album with Hip Hop infleunces, but listening through this album it get's pretty obvious that It's not only Gwen who's in change, but actually the whole band. To be honest, I don't think this album is bad at all. It's diffrent but it's funky and very catchy. A good band must be able to take risks, right?.

First song is called "Hella Good" and is a Neptune production. Strange at first thought maybe, but at second it feels like genius. Bon Jovi got unexpected help from Max Martin on their "It's My Lfe" so why not No Doubt aswell. This song reached a #13 place on the bilboard and is a really catchy pop song that surely will make you up and dance. "Hey Baby" is another uptempo featuring dance hall king Bounty Killer. It's also a catchy pop song which makes you go up and dance and reached the top 5 in US. "Making Out" Is New Wave/Pop and wouldn't have been bad on a Gwen solo album either, it feutures synthesizers and the sound is very cool. One of the best songs of this album. "Underneath It All" is a reggae sounding ballad that reached #3 on the charts, it was co-written between Gwen and Dave Stewart of Eurythmics. Dancehall artist Lady Saw also appears briefly. "Detective" is another great new wave song with good hook and sound. So far the album is sublime.

"Don't Let Me Down" still new wave but sounds like some songs on "Saturn" with more edgy sound. "Start the Fire" is dance hall inspired and quite exotic, it's synthesizer sound is a little 80's. "Running" was the last single of this album, but never became a hit. A Pop ballad, and very good aswell. "In My Head" is a slow paced song, not bad but lacks a good hook and is my least favorite here. "Platinum Blonde Life" is rock, plain and simple. It showes the rougher side of the band. "Waiting Room" is interesting since Prince co-wrote and appear on it. It's a rock-pop song and it is simular to some of Prince's most recent music. The title track is the closer. An exotic midtempo with cool and breezy sound.

Overall, Many bands tend to sound the same album after album, but not No Doubt. All of their albums sound diffrent and while some No Doubt purists didn't like the pop sound of this album it's undeniably one of the catchiest and most hooky albums of 2001. It's very varied though and you got a bit of everything here. Some reggae/ska, some electronic new wave and some catchy pop. Some of the music here quite simular to the music Gwen did on her solo albums. From start to finnish, this album is simply great and very unexpected music from No Doubt at the time. This is an album for your collection.

After No Doubt sold more than 10 million copies of Tragic Kingdom, riding that wave of success without toppling over must have been a daunting mission. No sweat for No Doubt. The band toiled as national unknowns with a loyal local following for a decade before that album's release, and during that time the band members were learning how to be better songwriters and musicians. The follow-up, Return of Saturn, glides along that continuum of songcraft perfection. The band presents a cleaner, less apologist representation of their influences. They pull off some of the more difficult maneuvers of pure reggae, ground-pounding ska, and Cars-esque New Wave. Gwen Stefani, the fearless Orange County princess, belts a powerful pout, her Mae West-meets-Siouxsie Sioux vocal bravado the bungee cord that springs in between the band's retro tendencies and SoCal pop-punk attitude. It seems believable that she could stamp her foot and always get her way, but her self-deprecating confessions evade brattiness. Songs like "Bathwater" and "Ex-Girlfriend" reveal the singer's vulnerability to being hurt or dumped on, and the band's sense of humor and exploration (albeit firmly controlled) matches the songs' sentiments. This group is growing out and tightening up, and while the rest of the ska-punk surfer-dude bands do nothing more than repeat history, No Doubt is creating it. --Beth Massa

Their Best.......2007-01-08

I believe this is No Doubt's best cd. The hits on this album are great: Ex-Girlfriend, Simple Kind of Life, Bathwater.... but i also love the other songs..... Suspension without Suspense, Magic's in the Make-up, Artificial Sweetener.... wow... I love all the songs. I am a huge No Doubt/Gwen Stefani fan...so I'm very familiar with all their CDs.... If you like No Doubt at all....this is the CD to own.

Return Of No Doubt.......2006-12-27

It would take another 5 years from "Tragic Kingdom" to make the follower "Return of Saturn" and many things happened since, On the previous we found Gwen Stefani sing about the painful breakup with bandmember Tony Kanal where most of the songs were Ska/Punkish, now 5 years later Gwen was over 30 and was not only more mature but wanted to get married and start a family also. The music was also closer to New Wave, like early Cars even if some songs are still on fammiliar territory. While this may have alienated some fans from "Tragic Kingdom" this album show growth as a band and "Saturn" works fantastic as a concept, instead of recycling what worked in the past No Doubt tried something new and it worked just fine. However, there aren't as many highlights for the charts on this album but it's still perhaps the concept of songs that makes it this good. "Ex-Girlfriend" reminds you of their previous album's song's. A catchy ska-punk song and also a hit single. This song is actually about Gwen's future husband Gavin Rossdale. Second single called "Simple Kind of Life" is one of many simular song themes of this album which deals about Gwen's maturing and realizing what she really wants in life. In the video for it, you'll also see her getting married. The song is more of a midtempo but equally strong as the first single. "Bathwater" and "New" were also released in some countries as single's and the first a catchy uptempo is pretty good. The second is a new wave song. Good songs continue throughout the album with "Artificial Sweeter" about trying to be happy on the surface but feeling bad on the inside "Magic's In The Makeup" wether people would still love her underneath the makeup and "Suspension Without Suspense" about being in a relationship that doesn't go forward. I think No Doubt's music is excellent, their sound is unique full of admiration, but their best ability is to create feelings that fans can relate to and songs that really mean something. This album is a prime example of that where many songs are part of a concept with a mature Gwen Stefani dealing with relationship eventually leading to marriage and a family. I really can see why this album has a special place in many fans hearts, even if there weren't many hit singles like "Tragic Kingdom" here. Needless to say, this is another fantastic album from one of the best bands.

creative and artistic no doubt album.......2006-10-31

Although tragic kingdom had strong singles, I didn't think the album was all that as a whole. Return of Saturn is much better. No Doubt experiments with different musical styles and have creative songs like Bathwater, Magic's in the Makeup, Artificial Sweetner, Simple Kind of Life. I prefer this over gwen's solo work.

Best CD EVER!!!!!!!.......2006-08-03

First of all, i'd like to start out saying that No Doubt is the best band ever, in my opinion. I have all their cd's and not even one can compare to the other. However, i have to say Return of Saturn is my fav. Each song has it's own unique quality and all of the songs are my fav. I also luv how the cd is so mellow and chilled, although there are a lot of emotions thrown in it. sometimes you want to cry, scream, shout,etc! and i luv how Gwen puts character into all of the songs. you can really feel the pain burning inside her in some of the more tragic love songs! not only are the songs amazing but i feel i can relate to a lot of them! Magic's in the Makeup has really inspired me! as a girl in this world, it's sometimes really difficult to maintain a good self image. sometimes when im struggling with that i listen to that song b cuz i know i'm not alone and i can relate to everything Gwen says! I cant even describe how awesome the other songs are but i totally recomend it to anyone of any age!!

"I shudder to be honest....".......2006-07-30

This is one of the most beautiful No Doubt albums.
I just want to take it away from everyone and keep it stashed under my pillow, and then I'd take it out simply for my own pleasure.
If you know what I mean, score 100!

I don't want to make a song-by-song review, 'cause the "I love this song" phrase, turns into a boring one.
The version of this album I love the most, is the Latin American version.
It had two bonus tracks, and they were: Big Distraction (Also included in Everything In Time) And a great instrummental version of Too Late. 4 songs from this album were released as a single, and they were: "New", "Ex-girlfriend", "Simple kind of life" and "Bathwater", from 1999 to 2000. "Magic's in the makeup" was performered in a Dawson's Creek episode, in the 6th season. "Marry me" is a boring, annoying song.
"Home Now", "Comforting Lie", "Suspension without suspense" and "Dark blue" are very good. "S-T-A-R-I-N-G Problem" sounds good. It it so funny. "Six Feet Under" is a great song of this album. I listen to it when it's my birthday. "Today is my birthday, I get one every year. And some day...hard to believe but I'll be buried six feet underground..." "Artificial Sweetener" is another great song. I think, it should have been released as a single, and it would have been number one.

Well, this is a very good album, 9/10.
Be sure you pick a copy of this album up.
I hope you find this review helpful.
I recommend this album.

Enjoy it!

Good collection of miscellaneous songs.......2007-01-11

I tend to like No Doubt's odd collections, like BEACON STREET and EVERYTHING IN TIME, because the songs that are left off the albums (or done on the side or, in the case of BEACON STREET, recorded while waiting for other things to happen) are less slick pop and closer to their first album. I was a big fan of theirs before they were famous, when I was in high school, and tend to prefer their more ska and power-pop songs.

"Cellophane Boy," "I Throw My Toys Around," "Big Distraction," and "Full Circle" are the primary attractions of this CD.

THE GREAT THING ABOUT THIS CD IS.
WHEN A PERSON OR GROUP MAKES AN ALBUM THEY WRITE & RECORD
A PILE OF SONGS.BUT YOU CAN FIT ONLY 80 MINUTES OF MUSIC ON ONE CD.THE GROUP AND THE RECORD COMPANY PICK THE SONGS THEY WANT TO BE SINGLES & MAKE VIDEOS TO;AND SONGS THEY THING WILL MAKE IT TO THE BILLBOARD CHARTS.SO A LOT OF SONGS THEY RECORD ARE PUT ON THE SHELF AND COLLECT DUST & SOMETIMES ARE NEVER HEARD;UNLESS THEY PUT THE SONGS ON THERE NEXT ALBUM.
BUT IF YOU ARE A FAN YOU WANT TO HEAR ALL THE SONGS NOT JUST THE
GREATEST HITS.AND GIVEN TIME & AND A OPEN MIND THIS PILE OF
UNRELEASED SONGS WILL BECOME YOUR NO DOUBT GREATEST HITS VOL.2
WHEN IT COMES TO NO DOUBT WITH GWEN STEFANI ON LEAD.YOU DON'T
HAVE TO HEAR THE SONGS ON THE RADIO,MTV OR VH1 TO FIND OUT THE SONGS ARE GREAT.PICK UP THIS CD AND FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF & TURN THE VOLUME IN MAX !!!

Everything In Time.......2005-10-07

First off, I would like to say that I love No Doubt (but though I love Gwen, and her music is good in its own way, I think that the solo career was a mistake). I think that they are the most talented band of all time, certainly the most talented band that I have ever heard. I just started to love No Doubt recently, and ordered all their CDs. Though this is a CD of B-Sides, I think that it is one of their best and that the songs should have all made it onto the records they were written for.

1. Big Distraction: 5/5. I love this song, I can't exactly explain why. The horn parts in it sort of sound like their early ska stuff, and I love the tune.
2. Leftovers: 4.5/5. Not my favorite on this CD, but it is good in its own way. It is a bit slow, and reminds me of a cross between something from Tragic Kingdom and Return of Saturn.
3. Under Construction: 5/5. I like the tune and guitar parts of this song. It reminds me of 'Six Feet Under' from Return of Saturn.
4. Beauty Contest: 5/5. A sad song, and has very deep lyrics. The phrase 'born to blossom, bloom to perish' is originally used in this song, but some of you may recognize it from Gwen's 'What You Waiting For?'. Wait until the last few seconds of the song, it's really cute!
5. Full Circle: 5/5. I love this song. The tune is really catchy, and the lyrics are good.
6. Cellophane Boy: 5/5. Another song that reminds me of a cross between something from Tragic Kingdom and Return of Saturn. Slow tune, not very catchy, but the lyrics are great.
7. Everything In Time (Los Angeles): 5/5. This song and Everything In Time (London) sound completely different, but they are both sad sounding and very beautiful lyrically.
8. You're So Foxy: 4/5. I like it, but it's just not one of my favorites. The verses are completely different from the chorus, and that's what sets it apart. On the inside cover of the CD, it said that this was a possible single, but if it was I don't think it would have even made it into the top 20. It doesn't sound like a song that you would hear on the radio.
9. Panic: 5/5. Love the lyrics, but the tune makes me all jittery. Another song where the verses sound completely different from the chorus.
10. New Friend: 5/5. This is one of my favorites from this CD. It's very reggae sounding, and the tune is so catchy! I think that this should have made it onto Rock Steady. Also, the song 'In My Head' from Rock Steady came from this song.
11. Everything In Time (London): 5/5. A very good song, great lyrics, but it makes me want to cry sometimes.
12. Sailin' On: 4/5. This was a cover song, it was originally by the Bad Brains. I like the way that they have adapted and made it theirs, their version is much slower than the original.
13. Oi To The World: 5/5. A really cool Christmas song. The lyrics are awesome, and though this wasn't their song originally, Gwen sounds truly great singing it.
14. I Throw My Toys Around: 5/5. This song was from the Rugrats movie, and features Elvis Costello. The tune is slow but catchy, and the lyrics are really cute.
15. New & Approved: 4/5. The remix is good, but goes on for too long. Personally, I liked the original better.
16 and 17. A Real Love Survives and A Rock Steady Vibe: 3/5. Catchy beat, but it isn't really by No Doubt. It mostly just has Miss Dynamite and Sweetie Irie rapping, and then occasionally has Gwen saying "A real love survives" in the background. Not my favorites.

Read this!.......2005-08-10

No Doubt is one of those bands that trys new things, but still acts like.....themselves! They don't try to be someone that everyone likes, they just act like who they really are, and if fans don't accept them, then....fans don't accept them....but, saying that I would also like to add, that not everybody has the same taste---and therefore, don't always like the same genre of music.. but all I wanted to point out, is that Gwen is a beautiful hearted girl, and she loves being an artist and preforming and all that stuff.........this CD is one of the best that I've listened to in a really...really long time!!!! If you don't consider buying this CD, you're crazy!

Fantastic!!!.......2005-01-06

If you like classic No Doubt (tragic Kingdom & Return of Saturn), this CD is for you! I LOVE it! It's B-sides from when No Doubt was still Ska-ish--before Gwen started experimenting with the hip hop/R&B. There are a few--maybe 3 songs I don't really like that are remixes, but the other 15 are great! BUY IT!

Best No Doubt Album.......2007-07-15

I don't have all No Doubt albums yet, but so far, this is my favorite. It has everything that was good about No Doubt: ska, reggae, punk, funk, and pop. Sure, I don't hate No Doubt's new stuff, but it doesn't really hold a candle to this. I can't believe this only sold a few thousand copies upon its release. I don't get it. It was better than most other albums out that year.
I also can't believe the amount of people that don't like this album. It may be the recording quality or whatever, but I still don't get why people don't like it. It's at least a little bit better than most that came next, in my opinion.
Anyways, there's the end of my rant. My favorite song is probably Ache.

No Doubt's whimsical, Third Wave Ska debut.......2007-05-19

Wow! This is one of No Doubt's greatest albums. Who knew? I grew up on Tragic Kingdom and The Beacon Street Collection back in the mid 90s, but I wasn't familiar with their self-titled debut until years later. I love all of their albums, from this first one all the way down through Rock Steady. But that's just because I have fairly broad musical taste. It ain't for everybody. The advice I would give to anyone thinking of buying this CD is to not expect it to be like No Doubt's later work. It's an almost completely different sound. You have to approach this record with the understanding that it's mostly lighthearted, upbeat, jazzy, and occasionally goofy Ska music with 80s New Wave undertones. It's not as "cool" as their other albums but it's very energetic and fun. So be prepared to hear the band's immense talent applied to a different musical style than you may be accustomed to hearing from them; and enjoy. I hope this helps some prospective buyers.

Great debut album, excellent music.......2006-06-26

No Doubt's first self-titled album is an excellent ska album. It starts off with a really cool instrumental and has a bunch of cool songs that are fun to listen to and are totally different from anything you hear in popular music today.

A great album from a great band, a must-have for anyone who likes ska or is interested in 90s music. And even if you aren't sure, just listen to the 30 second samples and decide for yourself.

This album is great!.......2006-03-31

This was No Doubt's first album and has heavy use of ska and punk elements. You may not care for this style of music, but it is certainly worth a listen. Here's a song by song:

1.BND: It's an intro. It uses the very catchy ending for Brand New Day (but without the lyrics). It does its job just fine. 10/10
2.Let's Get Back: Pretty catchy. 9/10
3.Ache: A funny song about toothaches and coding. It's ok. 8/10
4.Get On the Ball: First two or so minutes it's kinda repetitive, but then it finishes with a cool jam session. 9/10
5.Move On: One of the catchiest songs No Doubt has ever made. 10/10
6.Sad For Me: It's one of their slow songs. You might not care for it. 7/10
7.Doormat: Another great one. 9/10
8.Big City Train: This one's ok, not really special. 8/10
9.Trapped In a Box: I like this one, it's good. 8/10
10.Sometimes: Starts slow, then gets a little faster. Gwen's singing makes this one good. 8/10
11.Sinking: Really catchy, love this one. 9/10
12.A Little Something Refreshing: This song is just one of their quick jams. The lyrics are annoying for this one. 7/10
13.Paulina: How many songs does No Doubt have about masturbation? This one's good. 9/10
14.Brand New Day: One of the best songs No Doubt has ever made. Everything about this song shows what made old No Doubt great! 10/10

The beginnings of Gwen Stefani's voice.......2006-03-27

Though a bit Bare Naked Ladies in humor, which I appreciate, my favorite part of this album is listening to Gwen's huge control in her voice; what was she like 19 or 20? She's a huge talent as well as her brother. Though ska driven, I find it fun and quirky, couldn't give it 5 stars though because it does take a certain taste. I found Tragic Kingdom was more structured since it was with a larger label, this is what makes bands successful, but this first album was fun.

Album Description

What do Ryan Adams, Trey Anastasio, Jeff Beck, Ken Boothe, Marcia Griffiths, Eric Clapton, Bootsy Collins, The Roots, Ben Harper, Terry Hall, The Skatalites, Willie Nelson, No Doubt, Bonnie Raitt, Keith Richards, Shaggy, Rahzel, U-Roy, Bunny Wailer and Rachael Yamagata have in common?

The all-star guests on "true love" range from legends Like Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, and Bonnie Raitt to younger stars including No Doubt, The Roots, and Trey Anastasio. The caliber of these collaborators reveals the impact that Toots has had on several generations of rockers and rappers, while appearances from reggae icons Bunny Wailer and Marcia Griffiths show the respect granted to the man who might be the music's greatest living vocalist. At the heart of it all is that voice - drenched in soul, rooted in gospel, and still breathtakingly powerful after almost four decades in the spotlight.

Excellent crossover of styles and talent.......2006-03-01

Entertaining and enjoyable listening. Nice remakes of classic Reggae songs using some crossover artists.

A straight shot of feel good music.......2006-01-13

I didn't know Toots at all, but read a magazine review and gave it a chance. Boy have I been missing some great music. I listen on my commute home and arrive feeling happy and "cool" by association. If you love blues, Buffett, or Bonnie, this sound will hit you where you live. Not just for Reggae fans. Stop reading this and buy it.

Sweet and Dandy! .......2005-10-01

Unlike one reviewer who sounded like he never did love Toots, this is one of my favorite albums by Toots and the Maytals and I have been listening to them for *many* years. Toots has never sounded better and he made all of the other artists who played along with him on the CD put in some of their finest performances, as well. There is hardly a track on here I don't love, but Still is Still Moving to Me, Pressure Drop, and Sweet and Dandy are some of my favorites... and Blame on Me with Rachel Yamagata (who I honestly had never heard of before) just burns me up. I love it. This is a work of art, unlike some of other compilations which I personally thought were either okay, like BB King's, or sounded like they were just inviting younger musicians to play on their albums to reach new audiences and sell more music, like Santana's. Carlos said he was trying to prove how older people could still get it down, then only invited young women to participate and shake it up. Not Toots, man, he knows what's cool and everyone was invited - young or old, you will love it!!!!

My kind of music!.......2005-05-30

I have to admit that prior to purchasing this album I really had no knowledge of Toots' long history of making music. I always loved the sound of reggae - my dad listened to Hawaiian reggae while I was growing up - and I was ready for something fresh and new.

What I enjoy most about "True Love" is that Toots' vocals are never drowned out by his guest artists. He has a strong, almost bluesy sort of voice, and he really sounds like he enjoyed making these songs. It really amazes me that he was able to work with so many artists from such varied genres. "Pressure Drop" and "Monkey Man" easily satisfy my need for upbeat, fun, summer/spring sorts of songs while "Careless Ethiopians" and "Blame on Me" paint a landscape drenched in a darker, haunting tone. If I were to name a song that I do not care for too much, however, it would be his collaboration with Shaggy, I think mostly because Shaggy's vocals aren't too great on here.

TOOTS GETS MY GRAMMY!.......2005-02-07

Toots is finally getting the recognition he deserves. One of the best reggae performers I've ever seen and this album is definitely one of the best. Love the cuts with Bonnie Rait and Willie Nelson and Marcia Griffiths. Toot Toot Toosie.....HELLO!

Another great CD.......2007-05-21

If you like No Doubt's other CDs, you cannot miss with this one.

umm...........2006-12-29

I love Gwen Stefani and No Doubt, adn I figured, to tide me over until the Sweet Escape, I'd get one of ND's older CDs since I have all of them Tragic Kingdom and on. It was between their debut and this. since Beacon Street got rave reviews, i bought it over the self-titled one.. When i popped it into my stereo, it was only alright. Some tracks were ok, but some made me feel nauseated and I could only listen to it for the first 5 seconds. *cough* blue in the face *cough* The only songs that I liked were By The Way and Doghouse was ok. I lovvveee by the way though. Overall its worth two stars for me. [I love the inside of the disc all the pics are so cool. I also like the disc with all the little band members!]

AC

Blue in the face... Caise your always in a hurry...........2006-05-08

Beacon Street Collection is with out a doubt one of the best No Doubt cd's they ever produced. Second, barely, to Tragic Kingdom. the Beacon Street Collection is just great, true ska.

No Doubt back when they were ska!.......2006-03-30

I'm having a hard time deciding if I like this one more than No Doubt's self-titled album. They are both excellent albums and everyone should listen to them at least once. Here's a song by song:

1.Open the Gate: Love this track. Gets really catchy near the end. 9/10
2.Blue In the Face: This song is really annoying to me; it's too slow and Gwen's buzzy bee noises are annoying. 4/10
3.Total Hate 95: No Doubt and Sublime team up to bring us this incredibly catchy and fun jam. One of my favorites from this album. 10/10
4.Stricken: Gwen's singing is so cute and catchy on this one. I love it. 9/10
5.Greener Pastures: I didn't care for this one at first, but now I like it :) 8/10
6.By the Way: This one is somewhat slow and is carried by Gwen's singing. 7/10
7.Snakes: This one's ok, not particularly catchy but the guitars on this one are great. 8/10
8.That's Just Me: I love this one. 10/10
9.Squeal: Another really fast and catchy song. I like the horns on this one. 10/10
10.Doghouse: A great finisher. I love it. 10/10

I highly recommend this album if you (1) are interested in hearing what No Doubt sounded like before Tragic Kingdom (2) you really like Sublime (3) you are just interested in high-quality albums that are generally avoided by the mass media. If you really like this one, be sure to check out the self-titled one.

Beacon Street Collection.......2005-11-28

Easily one of No Doubt's finest, the Beacon Street Collection stars amazing frontwoman Gwen Stefani in the band's early, raw, ska sound. A must-have for hardcore ND fans!

Hey baby! Are you ready to be rocked steadily to sleep in the rings of Saturn? No Doubt made it out of the tragic kingdom by always giving their fans something different.

Your child is going to love dozing off while wrapped in its delicate little spider-web.

Half of the songs on this CD are difficult to recognize as tunes by No Doubt. I don't believe that the music lends itself very well to lullabies. We own two other Rockabye CDs, and they are far better.

When marketing hasn't supported real talent..........2006-09-22

Every time that i listen "Steelo", i reminisce when i've bought this album. It was just released, and when i listened that song into my music store i quickly decided that it was already a good reason to buy the whole album! This cd was really enjoyable, and the girls showed their good vocal skills in many tracks. I loved especially "Get It Together", a great ballad produced by Donell Jones.

In that period, 702 used to collaborate with Missy Elliott...after "Steelo", i wish to remember also "Beep Me 911" (from Missy's debut album) and the related video...one of the more original and funny videos that i've seen in the last decade.

I'm been truly sorry for the recent group breakup. Honestly, i don't understand why Meelah Williams hasn't still had the opportunity to pursue a solo career, because her voice is really one of the best of the modern R&B scene.

Some Grade A Tracks Here.......2006-04-06

I remember chillin' to 'Steelo' back in the day and so I was excited to get my hands on this album again. Tracks like 'Not Gonna' 'All I Want' and 'Get Down Like Dat' show the fun side of these girls, while slowed down tracks like 'Get it Together' really showcase their singing talents and prove sutible ballads for the ears. 'Steelo' is still a favorite, but the shines on it's own as a great R&B album of the 90's.

No Doubt.......2005-05-17

I remember this album when I was in the 4th grade. This album is blazing and the songs are unique and stylish. This album has a sound that is described as sleek,hot and funky. This album effortlessly blend the rhymes and sounds of Gospel,Hip-Hop,Jazz and Blues. They got their name from a Las Vegas zip code. The girls sing with a vocal maturity far beyond their youthfulness. This album has been certified Gold. Remember,this was 1996-1997.
I Love This CD.

702..=) Love Em.......2005-02-15

I give this cd four stars cause its a couple of tracks I do not like but overall the album is good..I've always loved these girls & I wish they would come back THEY ARE MOS DEF one of the best girl R & B groups who really never got any credit for their music support this album

WOAH!!!!! this girls are great...........2004-11-09

702 are one of my favourite r&b groups of all time... these girls are tight to def... i loved them when i first saw them in 'steelo' w/ missy elliot... that girl can produce a song... 'steelo' was my favourite song at that time... the beat was crazy and i flipped when missy was on it because i loved missy at the time....

my favourite song on the entire album is 'all i want' which is also on the GOOD BURGER SDTK (which i have as well)... this song is great and the girls sound great....

'get it together' was the breakup song in middle school... when a couple breaks up we used to sing that song when they would walk in the hallways (well you all had to be there)...

anyways, 'no doubt' is another hot joint on the album as well...

all three 702 albums (NO DOUBT, 702, and STAR) are some of the best works in my cd collection, especially STAR which is a constant in my car.... too bad the girls are broken up...

get this album to start or finish your r&b collection no disappointments whatsoever....
