Advantages: Entertain with some outstanding songs Disadvantages: A few fillers that sound very simular
...were you? It is a tragic song about the end of a relationship. She knows he is about to break up with her but she doesn’t want to hear the words so she tells him to ‘don’t speak’.
It’s a very soft song and suitable for a slow dance or relaxing.
11: You Can Do It (4.13)
This song has a very catchy happy beat. While just listening to it I’ve found myself dancing.
The song is about someone getting away from ...

Advantages: A very interesting album. Disadvantages: Not everybody's cup of tea, but the same could be said abbout any album.
...telling the tale of "The Tragic Kingdom". All in all this album is worth having in your cd collection, and yet again I recommend it to you. Pop-punk at it's best, and a band that fit well with other bands in the Ska category, well living up to the standard of Madness. No Doubt indeed. ...

The perfection of Gwen Steffani sums up all that is brilliant about this entire album. I could just say that, but I know that I have a word limit to fulfil, I also know that technically it is not really true. That although she is a superb frontwoman/lyricist and all round sex goddess, there are innumerable factors which conspire to make this album absolutely outstanding. There is firstly the all consuming power and passion of the band, evident from ...

...vocals, as demonstrated clearly in Tragic Kingdom. They have this thing about oranges / mandarins s their CD cover is decorated with many pictures of them!
There is a sort of "I'm so innocent, but I'm gorwing up" feel to this album. The range of tracks in this album is fairly diverse, but it all somehow manages to peice itself together perfectly. This album is almost perfect, and 'perfect' is a word I rarely use.
Here is the track listing for ...

Advantages: Really creative Disadvantages: it might not be to everybodys taste
No Doubts tragic kingdom album was released way back in 1995 on interscope records, and contains 14 amazingly different and creative songs.
No doubt are: Gwen Stefani - vocals, Tom Dumont - guitar, Tony Kanal-bass, Adrian Young - drums&percussion, and on this album Eric Stefani - piano&keyboards.
All of the songs on this album are written by No Doubt, and this is obvious when you listen to the album since it is so different from any other type of ...

no doubting them Review ofTragic Kingdom - No Doubtby
loosing_faith
Advantages: great lyrics and music. Disadvantages: none really
having heard no doubt on the radio when i lived in california, i thought that it was a good song. i can't remember what the tune was, what i can remember however is that my brother went out and bought the album and quickly got bored of it. so i bought it off of him for a small amount of money. that was by no means a mistake. the opening track, "spiderwebs" is a fairly fast paced, good song that sounds exactly like they do at their best. the album ...

Quick review of Tragic Kingdom - No Doubt Review ofTragic Kingdom - No Doubtby
beegcheef
A generally good album bringing out a new sound to the long beach style ska. good melodies on the whole and definitely one of the best albums they have come out with. Had some good ballads as well as some fast hard hitting tracks.

Advantages: All round good album Disadvantages: Maybe a bit franetic for some
The album Tragic Kingdom is truly amazing!No Doubt have come up trumps with this offering of musical wizardrey. Such tracks as "Don't Speak" & "Im just a girl" are brilliant and some of the best I have heard in a long time. The album is made up of rocky tunes and mindblowing lyrics which really make your head spin. I have listened to this album over and over again and I never get tired of it, infact, it seems to just get better and better! I would ...

Advantages: An album full of brilliant songs Disadvantages: I seriously can't think of any
At the age of about 11, a song on the radio instantly captivated me, I became obsessed with it and had to find out more. nine years on and I still feel the same every time I hear the opening chords of Don't Speak.
So, I resolved to find out more about this mysterious band, and my search lead me to this album. By the time I reached the end, I was in love.
Don't Speak is not at all a representation of the rest of the album, aside from in it's ...

Advantages: Continued brilliance Disadvantages: None
For 6 years Tragic Kingdom has been on serious rotation on my CD player and long may it continue! Like most people, Don't Speak brought No Doubt to my attention, Great song, great video, but I have to say that now it seems to be the weakest track. Maybe I've played it too many times! Comparisons to Madness and the "new" ska style still persist but TK is a shiny bauble of great music, and it can't be defined. Let's End It On This is bittersweet yet ...

Advantages: great music Disadvantages: none really
...has to be the 3rd tragic kingdom. it was brill, although more pop than ther last two, they managed to include all genres of their music. dont speak seems to have been their only real hit here btu really just a girl should have had the impact as it was far better but hey thats english music for you. their latest album is good with soem cool songs but it is not the same as tragic kingdom it could be to do with eric leaving the band i dont know but they ...
