Customer Reviews

An album for diehard No Doubt fans...
I bought this album after I had got all the other No Doubt albums. I bought it not knowing what to expect. I bought it as an act of blind devotion to my favourite band in the world ever. And it was a gamble that payed off. It's totally different from all the other No Doubt albums, a completely different sound more reminiscent of bands like Madness. One of the main reasons it stands apart from ND's other albums is that it is driven by ex-member Eric Stefani. People more used to No Doubt's modern output which is lyrically dominated by Gwen Stefani's life and relationship with Gavin Rossdale will be suprised.
In terms of the album's tone, it has a lot in common with the Beacon Street Collection. They're both cheerful, summery, happy albums. But this debut is still one of a kind. The tracks are generally knowingly funny and upbeat, and as a diehard No Doubt fan myself it was really great to hear some of their early work because it is very clear where their original influences lie. You can really see how the band has developed.
This is an album that you should probably buy after listening to the other 4 albums. Though it has little in common with stuff like 'Return of Saturn', No Doubt's self titled and almost completely overlooked debut album will give any No Doubt fan a much better understanding of the band. Hopefully, the fact that this album's only single 'Trapped In A Box' was included on No Doubt's current Singles 1992-2003 collection will lead people to give this album a listen.

amazing
this album is amazing! most people havn't heard of this album ( No Doubt-No Doubt) and think that all No Doubt's music is gonna be like Rock Steady, Hella Good, Hey baby etc. This is very different from this. A brilliant ska album. The best songs on it are probably Trapped in a Box adn Big City Train. Paulina and A little something refreshing are close seconds. the whole album is amazing!

An unexpected treat....A must buy for ND fans !!!
OMG i nearly didnt buy this but i love it like i love the others! (Tragic Kingdom, Return Of Staurn, Rock Steady)

I'd heard "Lets Get Back" on the Spiderwebs single & i loved it. My fav tracks are "Ache" - which really brings her voice out soo much - (like alot of the tracks on this CD infact)& is a funy song about the dentists (lol) "Move On" is my other fav which starts slower & builds up to a heavy, banging chorus i love - the fast singing is amazing - a real adrenalin song!

"Get On The Ball" is cool so are "Doormat", "Big City Train" & "Trapped In A Box" which remind me of "World Go Round" & "Different People" from Tragic Kingdon, allot.

"Sad FOr mE" & "Sometimes" & "Sailig on" are mellower tracks. "Sometimes" is such a BEAUTIFUL song - one of my favs . Her voice on this sounds so echo-ey & shows it at its full potential.

"a liitle Something Refreshing" is a crazy CRAZY song about food & is kinda like 2mins long. I love it - a bit like "Staring Problem" from R.O.Saturn.

"Paulina" is like an old reggae / ska tune & is ok but not my fav. "Brad New Day" has a cool hook & brifge & i like this one - a good one to start & finish with.

BUY THIS IF U LOVE ND ... ITS AN UNNEXPECTED TREAT!
