Product Description
From Amazon.com
No Doubt's 1995 release, Tragic Kingdom, brought Southern California's ska scene to a national stage while elevating the band to star status. An irresistible mix of reggae, punk, and power pop, Tragic Kingdom scored several hits, among them "Spiderwebs," "Just a Girl," and "Don't Speak." Singer Gwen Stefani's looks made the group MTV shoo-ins, but her soaring voice is the real star, as evidenced by such songs as "Happy Now?"--a classic you'll-regret-you-dumped-me anthem that recalls Blondie--and the bouncy "Sunday Morning." Despite recurring themes of pain and regret, Tragic Kingdom manages to somehow feel sunny throughout. --Courtney Kemp

It Doesn't Blow Me Away,
By
This review is from: Tragic Kingdom (Audio CD)
Tragic Kingdome seems like the most hyped recording by No Doubt. With all those singles: Don't Speak, Spiderwebs, Sunday Morning, etc.... I thought that this CD would be a classic. Somehow, it is not.The thing is that in addition to the five singles there are ten other tracks. And many of them just do not do anything special for me. I think the hooks are less memorable as on Rock Steady and The Beacon Street Collection. Sixteen is an exception as its a fairly catchy new wave rock tune. Different People has a nice jazzy beat to it with good horn arrangements. And the title track has some interesting textures to its style. Therefore I count the recording as about a fifty fifty split between good songs and nothing special ones. Therefore three stars seems like the right rating.

my first,
This review is from: Tragic Kingdom (Audio CD)
this was a first for me, liking a band with a ska sound, but I do not regret it. I still rock the album today. Have fun hearing Gwens thoughts on being young, a woman, in a relationship and a breakup.

Not So Tragic,
By Joseph "JoMo" (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tragic Kingdom (Audio CD)
Before No Doubt released Tragic Kingdom they weren't well known. They actually just released this so they could get their songs out, then they would go on with their lives. Luckily their first single "Just A Girl" hit well and they didn't have to do that. Tragic Kingdom in my eyes is No Doubt's best work, filled with all good songs. I don't there are many cd's where I happen to enjoy all hits, but this is definitely one of them.The cd starts of with "Spider Webs" which is an ingenious song. One of my favorite songs in No Doubt history is "Excuse Me Mr." which is just an awesome song. Next is "Just A Girl" which was their first single and possibly the "star" of the cd. Another one of my favorite songs from no doubt is "Different People" which is just so awesome. Then later comes their other hit from the cd, "Don't Speak" which is still getting radio play today. "You Can Do it" is also a fun song, though it kinda sounds like something the Spice Girls would sing. Then comes my favorite song on the whole cd..."Tragic Kingdom". It's so fun, heavy, deep, imaginative, and basically has a nice flow. The whole cd is just loads of fun and I would suggest it to anyone who has only heard their new stuff.
