Advantages: Brilliant varied tracks with great No Doubt retroness!
Disadvantages: Maybe a bit retro for the lesser fan

...to lead you into the Tragic Kingdom where the lyrics are spread around inside. Great cover Great lyrics Great songs Great variation! A great original No Doubt album that for any fan would appreciate. True authentic No Doubt! Brilliant. God I love this album! I can't remember how much I paid for the album it was 10 years ago but I think its around about £5.99 to £9.99 Track Listing and Duration: ----1. Spider webs (4.28)---- Great start to ...
...to slow beats -----14. Tragic Kingdom (5.31)----- Wow! This track tops it off so well. I mean it does have some lyrics that are a bit weird, about a Kingdom that has been locked up and hidden and lost from the world that is relightened, paying homage to a king, the drawbridge opened, a bit mythical really. Starts off with dialog of an aeroplane tannoy. The music is dramatic after that and the lyrics are wicked, all about destiny and the lost ... Read review

Advantages: Great tracks from start to end
Disadvantages: none

...last album I got from No Doubt which now completes my collection! I have now got all four! This is a fresh sounding group who in a way sound ahead of their time as far as maturity goes. This album I paid £6.99 in total from 101cd.com, which was a bargain as the older albums are quite expensive so it’s a good idea to shop around first! There are 14 songs on the album. The first is more of an Intro which involves the use of instruments such as ...
...off the great album is Brand new Day, which carries on the theme of the intro which rounds it off nicely, a great end to a Brill album. This album won’t be out of place in anyone’s CD collection and I highly recommend this to No Doubt fans! ... Read review

Advantages: Fun, lightweight, a number of catchy songs
Disadvantages: Too many cooks spoiling the No Doubt broth?

...the charts with their soft rock anthem 'Don't Speak', while previously they had been at the forefront of one of the most repugnant genres in the entire history of modern music, in the form of American ska-punk. So I thought buying 'Rock Steady' would result in my coolness, and inevitably my popularity, rapidly declining, and I would be forced to carry a bell around with me like a leper and announce my unclean presence whenever a social occasion arose. ...
...Steady' been released had No Doubt suddenly become quite a cool prospect and a band that it was okay to admit to following. Fast forward a few years up to the present and singer Gwen Stefani is being marketed as the coolest cat to ever walk the earth, a multi-talented singer, songwriter, actress, model, clothes designer and all-round icon. Music changes with rapid pace, and bands have to adapt or be left on the backburner. No Doubt did the sensible ... Read review

Advantages: Great tracks

...being; No Doubt and The Beacon Street Collection! of what my review is about. I was reluctant at first to purchase this album as it doesn’t have many tracks- only 10! but I went for it and ordered it on Amazon. I was very excited to get it as I am a big fan of their latest album. I bought a re-issue of their independent release which was from 1995 The title is named so because it is a collection of their recordings which span 2 years! Some ...
...recorded in a Garage on Beacon Street! This album similar to the latest albums, have rock in it but in my view deals more with Ska influences and although sounding a bit rougher on the edges on some tracks, the album is amazing! If you had the Don't Speak single, you'll notice one track on there called Greener Pastures which was a great track and this is the album where it came from. With Gwen Stefani on lead vocals, No Doubt can do no wrong as her ... Read review

Advantages: a few good songs
Disadvantages: nowhere near as good as their old stuff

Iv always been a fan of goldfinger and it had been a while since the release of a new album prior to this one being released. I had been looking forward to a new album as i really liked their new-ish material and thought that the band were getting better and better. When this one came out I downloaded it straight away, I had already listened to a few songs they released on myspace before the release and enjoyed these so I was looking forward to ...
...are only a few good songs on their and some that i just cant stand to listen to. A few of the good songs are really good, though it feels a little bit rushed and a bit like all the songs are of different kind of genres. I put this down to the return of the guitarist who previously left the band as he liked metal music and not punk. He has seemed to have some influence in some of the songs and I feel has let the band down. If you did like this ... Read review
