Every fan of No Doubt must own this album. Ok, so it's different to their more well known stuff, but it's equally good, if not, in some cases, better.
The intro - BND - is short but still amazing
Let's Get Back - Probably my favourite song from the album, great, catchy, fun tune.
Ache - A fun, lively song, full of surprises
Get on the ball - Repetitive, but that's not necesarilly a bad thing, another great song
Move on - not one of my favourites, a bit different to the others, but definitely not bad!
Sad for Me - I love this song, quite short but really simple and beautiful
Doormat - Another great, upbeat song
Big City Train - Again, what can I say aprt from that it's really good?
Trapped in a Box - the only single from the album, I'd heard it before I got it, so not as 'fresh' as the others, but it's a really great song.
Sometimes - A sad one, Gwen's voice is great (as it is on all of them), a nice change from the faster tracks..
Sinking - This ones great, expecially the bit inspired from 'row row row you're boat'
A Little Something Refreshing and Paulina - Eric Stefani sings with Gwen on both of these short tracks, both great.
Brand New Day - a lovely, cheerful ending to the album

I bought this album after I had got all the other No Doubt albums. I bought it not knowing what to expect. I bought it as an act of blind devotion to my favourite band in the world ever. And it was a gamble that payed off. It's totally different from all the other No Doubt albums, a completely different sound more reminiscent of bands like Madness. One of the main reasons it stands apart from ND's other albums is that it is driven by ex-member Eric Stefani. People more used to No Doubt's modern output which is lyrically dominated by Gwen Stefani's life and relationship with Gavin Rossdale will be suprised.
In terms of the album's tone, it has a lot in common with the Beacon Street Collection. They're both cheerful, summery, happy albums. But this debut is still one of a kind. The tracks are generally knowingly funny and upbeat, and as a diehard No Doubt fan myself it was really great to hear some of their early work because it is very clear where their original influences lie. You can really see how the band has developed.
This is an album that you should probably buy after listening to the other 4 albums. Though it has little in common with stuff like 'Return of Saturn', No Doubt's self titled and almost completely overlooked debut album will give any No Doubt fan a much better understanding of the band. Hopefully, the fact that this album's only single 'Trapped In A Box' was included on No Doubt's current Singles 1992-2003 collection will lead people to give this album a listen.

this album is amazing! most people havn't heard of this album ( No Doubt-No Doubt) and think that all No Doubt's music is gonna be like Rock Steady, Hella Good, Hey baby etc. This is very different from this. A brilliant ska album. The best songs on it are probably Trapped in a Box adn Big City Train. Paulina and A little something refreshing are close seconds. the whole album is amazing!

A Strong, Misunderstood Debut
When the eponymous debut album of No Doubt came out in 1992, it was a resounding flop due to its sound being most unlike that of the grunge rock bands so popular at the time. Read more
