No Doubt was nominated for the 1997 Grammy Award for Best New Artist. TRAGIC KINGDOM was nominated for a 1997 Grammy for Best Rock Album. "Don't Speak" was nominated for 1998 Grammys for Song Of The Year and Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.

No Doubt's members cite a strange variety of musical influences: Kiss, Prince and Madness, to name a few. And it's easy to imagine that their hometown itself, Anaheim, California (home to Disneyland), may have played a part in forming the band's schizophrenic, high-energy sound, which took TRAGIC KINGDOM, the band's second album, on a slow, steady ride up the pop charts. It finally hit No. 1 in December 1996, 14 months after it was released.

This is ska-punk-new wave-dance music, with instrumentation ranging from hardcore guitar to mellow, reggae-style horns. Singer Gwen Stefani's voice is by turns peppy, almost adolescent ("Spiderwebs") and emotionally wailing; she can sound a lot like Concrete Blonde's Johnette Napolitano ("Just A Girl"). When Stefani sings, "I'm just a girl, little ol' me/Don't let me out of your sight," she does so without a hint of girlishness; her voice is all attitude, with a warbling edge of melodrama. For the most part, these are happy songs, though No Doubt do get philosophical on "Different People": "Once in a while I sit back/And think about the planet/Most of the time I trip on it/To kick back and think of how massive it all is/And how many others are on it."

Engineers include: Matt Hyde, Phil Kaffel, George Landress.

No Doubt: Gwen Stefani (vocals); Tom Dumont (guitar); Eric Stefani (piano, keyboards); Tony Kanal (bass); Adrian Young (drums, percussion).

Additional personnel: Aloke DasGupta (sitar); Melissa Hasin (cello); Gerard Boisse, Bill Bergman (saxophone); Greg Smith (baritone saxophone); Phil Jordan, Les Lovitt (trumpet); Nick Lane (trombone); Gabe McNair (trombone, percussion); Matthew Wilder (keyboards); Stephen Perkins (steel drums).

Rolling Stone (12/26/96, p.195) - "...a platinum-blond peach of a female singer, Gwen Stefani, who breaks up the asexual baggy-shorts-and-balloon pants monotony of alt-nation guy rock....No Doubt have a spry, white-suburban take on ska and Blondie-esque pop..."

No Doubt releasing there best cd. I loved No Doubt, until It's My Life came out and Gwen Stephani pursued a solo career. Oh well, this cd suits me fine.

5 stars Sweet!
This album rocks! Don't Speak is on it- a very big hit and other big hits. The last track- Tragic Kingdom- is the best. I think she's singing partly about Disneyland in that song. There's the short speech thing in the beginning that you always hear before you get on rides at Disneyland and she mentions the electrical parade and dwarfs and if you listen carefully, you hear the Star Wars theme at the end. Seriously, you need to get this album

5 stars Everyone should own it. Even you, Bob.
Amazing! This album was crafted from a little bit of every genre. It was perfectly blended to create an amazing set of tracks, without a single stinker. In my opinion, any No Doubt/Gwen Stefani fan should get this CD because it displays the band at its purest form. We all have heard "Just a Girl" and "Don't Speak" (they both are awesome). But Tragic Kingdom has many more great tracks. "Sunday Morning" uses a guitar and drum heavy tune to go with the slightly angry lyrics and is perfect. "Sixteen" truly captures the essence of being 16. Angst, anger, and desire for independence lead the powerful guitar and lyrics. "Different People" and "World Go 'Round" use unique sounds and provoking lyrics to leave a mark on you. "Tragic Kingdom", the album's namesake, is strange and crazy, but metaphorically fantastic as it displays the fall of a bad empire and rise of an equally worse one. Each song is packed lyrically and provides a new sound. Every track on this CD captures a moment in time. They seem to transcend age, intelligence, sex, and life to take you away and empower you.

5 stars Oh, my God!
This is one of the best cds i've ever heard. given i'm a no doubt fan, but this is a good cd. my sister hates them. but she loves this cd. it has such a wide variety of styles. reggae, pop, rock, they have horns, drums, and even electric guitar. no matter what kind of music your'e into, their will be something on it for you. my mom hates today's pop culture and almost all of the music in it, but even she loves this cd. everyone in my family i can safely say that they all love this cd. all my sisters, my mom and dad, and if i had any brothers they would probably like it to. buy this cd.

Spice Girls Spice CD  (1997)

Tragic Kingdom
CD $8.39  4.6 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
There's a long tradition in England of kiddie-pop bands who harmonize well, look good, sell syrup by the millions in the U.K. and can't get arrested in the U.S. The Spice Girls smash that mold by adding a point of view. Having more pop hooks than your average bait & tackle shop doesn't hurt either. The five Spice Girls met when they answered a would-be svengali's ad looking for young women who could sing and dance. He got more than he bargained for. They also had spunk, and one of their first acts was to fire him and take control of their own career. The group co-wrote every song on SPICE, and it's an audacious debut on the order of Madonna's first LP. The girls' songs, like Madonna's, are simultaneously about wanting sex and wanting empowerment; their mantra is "girl power." These are new kids on the block who've actually been around the block ...

Garbage CD  (1995)

Tragic Kingdom
CD $15.35  4.6 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
Garbage was nominated for the 1997 Grammy Award for Best New Artist. "Stupid Girl" was nominated for 1997 Grammys for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. Garbage? Little bits and pieces that pile up in the corners of the house, over the years...ok, it seems to fit. Except that this is no typical heap. Alterna-producer extraordinaire Butch Vig (Nirvana's NEVERMIND, for one) has put together a band to suit his own tastes and eclectic percussive skills, and the result is Garbage's self-titled debut. There are indeed little pieces of everything ...

No Doubt Return Of Saturn CD  (2000)

Tragic Kingdom
CD $10.55  4 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
RETURN OF SATURN was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. Pop-ska rockers No Doubt make their long-awaited return with the follow-up to the hugely successful TRAGIC KINGDOM. The band's fiery dynamic remains intact as vocalist Gwen Stefani's penchant for emotionally charged tales of heartbreak drive the single "Ex-Girlfriend," "Simple Kind Of Life" and "Bath Water." In "The Magic's In The Makeup," Stefani's lyrics speak of yearning to be appreciated beyond surface beauty for who she really is while the band reaches for a thicker sound and more complex arrangements. Illusions and metaphors exploring the darker side of love set the tone of "Artificial Sweetener." "Marry Me" uses a melodic, staccato ...

Jewel was nominated for the 1997 Grammy Award for Best New Artist. "Who Will Save Your Soul" was nominated for a 1997 Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. When this Alaskan decided to give up her day job and move into her Volkswagen van in 1993, she began an almost storybook ascendance to the upper echelon of singer-songwriters. Like so many other aspiring musicians with a guitar and a story to tell, Jewel is a keen observer of human behavior. ...

Alanis Morissette Jagged Little Pill CD  (1995)

Tragic Kingdom
CD $12.29  4.9 stars Top 100 Audio Samples Definitive Album
JAGGED LITTLE PILL won the 1996 Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year and Best Rock Album. "You Oughta Know" won the Grammys for Best Rock Song and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. "You Oughta Know" was also nominated for Song Of The Year, and Alanis Morissette was nominated for Best New Artist. "Ironic" was nominated for the 1997 Grammy Award for Record Of The Year. With exuberant vocal gymnastics, Alanis Morissette offers chilling monologues from an outspoken and aggressive young performer. Her straight-for-the-jugular lyrical stance is given ample room to flex its muscles, and because of that very fact, JAGGED LITTLE PILL is indeed a tricky swallow. Pushed into the public eye by the scathing single "You Oughta Know," Morissette's American debut (she had two Canadian releases as a teen popster) lives up to its title. Recalling Siouxsie Sioux and Sinead O'Connor, Morissette's ...

U2 Pop CD  (1997)

Tragic Kingdom
CD $10.79  4.2 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
Like much pop music in the mid-1990s, POP is cobbled together out of buzzy synthesizers and reverberant keyboards, techno drum loops and funky live drums, guitars distorted into clouds of metal, vocals you sometimes have to work to hear, and songs that seek God and sex and other important stuff in the world's trash heaps. And it's obsessed, more than anything else, with pop itself. At its most frisky, as on the dance-club single "Discotheque," POP sounds like Oasis backed by the Chemical Brothers (see that combo's recent single "Setting Sun" for comparison). Drop the club ...
