No Doubt

[allhourcymbals]

whoa! i can't believe there hasn't been a thread for them already... i've been spinning the beacon street collection all day today. when i was 10-13, no doubt was probably my favorite band of all time. i was completely obsessed haha. it's a shame rock steady was so rushed, it could have been a better album. we're also supposed to be getting a new album towards the end of this year/beginning of next, so i'm definitely excited to see how that comes along. any fans?

Pretty good tunes, never really listened to them much though.

also, I would very much like to be naked with Gwen Stefani.

i liked her before she went solo..

I second that!

but I like a lot of no doubts songs, but I hate Gwen Stefani's solo work.

i think it's tolerable, extremely catchy, and unique to her style... but no doubt was so much better. i really hope they go back to their original sound with it, or even a more thought out/less rushed rock steady. please no more songs like 'detective'...

:thumbup:

and i like their "oi to the world" cover. that reminds me - i never got around to picking up that b-sides comp of theirs. d'oh.

yep.

[allhourcymbals]

i haven't listened to it in a long time, but i do have it! and so will you..

[SanePsychotic]

I listened to them a little when I was younger, but not much. My cousin was obsessed with them though.

[AP_Punk]

oh yeah, i forgot they recorded a song for the rugrats movie soundtrack. hahah.

hahah with elvis costello! so cool. i like that song, it's cute haha.

it's interesting to listen to them now, after being obsessed with them when i was younger and not knowing their roots and influences and now that i mostly listen to traditional ska and reggae, it's a different overall feel from them. they're a fun band and the next album we get is supposedly the most 'inspired' album yet, so we'll see.

[myantiyou]

If I hear good things about their new album I'll pick it up. I've liked what I've heard from them.

Only album of theirs I can sit through.

[allhourcymbals]

sixteen and excuse me mr. were always at the top of my favorite songs from them, but other than those two, the album puts me to sleep a little. although i haven't listened to it in about three years, so it might change next time around. no doubt is just a really fun, let loose band for me, and tragic kingdom is all about her seven year failed romance with tony, and a little depressing. it's a good album, but i'd much rather listen to return of saturn or everything in time.

[SanePsychotic]

Return to Saturn was the CD I bought for my sister when I didn't know what to get her for her birthday one year.

There's a DVD? I was unaware. I wish I had gone to other blink 182 shows though cause No Doubt closed (probably rightfully so) and so blink's set was like an hour long.

...that makes me sound really spoiled, but I think No Doubt's set was 90 minutes.

Yup. I forgot what was on it. I think interviews from both bands and - oh yeah, footage of blink in the studio, too, i think.

haha. you lucky spoiled brat!

[Kid B]

They're all over the radio. I mean I've never really listened to a full album of theirs or anything big like that. Just what's on the radio.

Ohh that's pretty sweet. I don't have any band dvds but that one sounds promising.

Yah I know, I got to see blink-182 tour with NO DOUBT hahahahah. I'm not hating on No Doubt, but that was such a random match up.

it's not really that random. at the time, they were both all over the radio, so it was probably like a z100 radio tour or something like that.

No fair. All I have is a poster that I got at the show for $5 that was probably sold online and Tower Records too.

[allhourcymbals]

i still don't understand how there wasn't a no doubt thread before. there's a thread for absolutely every other band from the '90s that people used to listen to and then forgot about.

[amysaurus]

True that. Let's all appreciate the greatness that No Doubt was.

[allhourcymbals]

and will hopefully be again within the next few months!

i think she has two kids, which is why there won't be a tour anytime soon. but definitely an album before the first half of 2009 is over.

she's having her second kid this year i think?

Good call, my bad. No Doubt = Sweetness

Tragic Kingdom was my first decent CD.

I support Gwen Stefani's solo thing, but don't care for the music and definitely prefer No Doubt.

[Regards]

Tragic Kingdom was a great album.

[allhourcymbals]

[Regards]

I stand corrected. I need to get a new copy of it, I can't find mind.

[allhourcymbals]

i can't find the case for any of my no doubt cds, and most of them are all scratched up now. i never took care of my cds when i was younger.

[Regards]

Haha, neither did I. I have two copies of Coheed's In Keeping Silent Earth and two copies of Glassjaw's Worishp and Tribute becuase one of the CD's is scratched beyond listening to.

[SanePsychotic]

I've always taken care of my CDs. There's only a few that are totally scratched up but that's because of my sister.

Is there a verifiable source saying that there's going to be a new No Doubt album? Because I don't want to get my hopes up.

[CellarGhosts]

Since it's so widely praised, I think I'll go with Tragic Kingdom.

all of her solo stuff is extremely radio friendly, which is fine, but i want the sound and energy no doubt gave us when they were releasing the beacon street collection and return of saturn.

[ugman_2000]

One of my favourite all time bands, haven't listened 2 them for a while though.

Great band live, saw them in brixton, saw them in 03 i think.

Tragic kingdoms got to be my favourite but becon street & return of saturn come close.

I hope the new material goes back to an older no doubt sound, I have a feeling its just gonna sound like gwens solo stuf but with a few more horns

[Until The Bombs]

Ahhh...used to love this band.

it's supposed to be the most inspired no doubt record so far, so i doubt it will be like her solo material. i hope not at least. i'm so sexcited for this. that was not a typo.

Her first single from LAMB was alright. The others ... not so much.

I still plan on seeing TDK, but it's not like something I'm really anticipating or anything. Whether or not it ends up being a better film than Wall-E remains to be seen, and I guess even then it'll boil down to personal opinion, but I've just never been big on the whole Batman franchise as it is. Like I said though, it does look like a good movie and I do plan on seeing it, I just won't be first in line or anything, you know?

I am so glad there's a thread. A dead thread, but a thread. No Doubt are fantastic. They'd be more amazing if they never came out with Rock Steady, which was god awful. Return of Saturn was OKAY. Tragic Kingdom, Beacon Street, and their s/t are absolutely incredible though. Back in the day they had so much talent. I hope their upcoming album goes back to their roots and isn't like Rock Steady was :/

I've loved Tragic Kingdom since I was 4! They were really the first band that I ever got into. I love "Return of Saturn", too. I'm so excited to see them next week.
