Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

As much as No Doubt have protested that they are a singular unit and not "Gwen and her guys", Gwen Stefani's much-touted duets with rapper Eve and techno mogul Moby in the run-up to Rock Steady did nothing to juice the boys' spotlight, which had been steadily dimming since the release of 2000s Return of Saturn. But all that banter is silenced with Rock Steady, on which the music is definitely the star, unfettered by Gwen's cutesy-clouded feminism or dumped-by-the-boyfriend woes. Having mostly departed from their ska home base, No Doubt's well-navigated exploration of hip-hop beats, reggae and the reunion of 1980s keyboards and guitars finds the group picking up the pop-rock baton that Garbage dropped with an unsettling thud. Rock Steady's delegate of stalwart producers perfectly decorate the disc with their respective expertise; Ric Ocasek (new wave), Prince (R&B), Nellee Hooper (trip-hop), Sly & Robbie (dub) and William Orbit (trance) offer some staying power to music that's always been on the edge of disposable. Despite their disparate styles, the songs complement each other like stars and stripes. This is No Doubt's best album to date, and as they continue to expand their influences, the party only gets bigger. --Beth Massa

CD Description

'Rock Steady' is the fifth album from Californian ska punkers No Doubt. The album is produced by a varied selection of people including Sly & Robbie, Prince, Dr. Dre, and William Orbit. 'Rock Steady' is a more eclectic mix of rock, rap, pop and reggae, than previous No Doubt albums.

4.0 out of 5 stars a welcome mix of ska, hip-hop and rock from a wonderful band, 11 Dec 2001

By A Customer

Very good new album by the established ska punkers 'no doubt', Gwen Stefani's work with Eve is evident with rapping being on two of the album's songs 'hey baby' and 'underneath it all', but these fit very well with the traditional no doubt sounds. The song produced by William Orbit (famous for input to Madonna's excellent 'Ray of Light'), (Making Out), is excellent, with Mr Orbit's influces very clearly shown here. Work with another Madonna producer Nellee Hooper (Bedtime Stories) is also fresh, with new unusual sounds, which do the whole band justice. But once again, Gwen Stefani's powerful vocals make the album, and her voice shifts smoothly for the different songs on the album. Working with new producers has been a good move for no doubt, and they even collaborate with 'the symbol' formally known as Prince, giving another excellent but different song. Overall, a fresh, funky album, No doubt doing what they do best, making music!

5.0 out of 5 stars I really was missing out!, 16 Dec 2002

By	Ryan J. Price "uselessdesires" (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a pretty big No Doubt fan but i didn't buy this album initially, despite liking the first two singles "Hey Baby" and "Hella Good", i guess i just never really got round to buying it. I'm glad i have now though. I've owned it less than a week and it is by far my favourite album at present. Each song tells its own little story and its really enjoyable listening to the album right the way through. My favourites are "underneath it all" "platinum blonde life" and "don't let me down". Saying this i'm really impressed with this album and look forward to hearing more very soon from no doubt!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not their best album, but still good., 24 Feb 2002

By A Customer

I have all the no doubt albums and they are all fantastic.
NO DOUBT- A nice mixture of ska and jazz.
BEACON STREET COLLECTION- Very ska-punk , but with a bit of rock too.
TRAGIC KINGDOM- The best of the lot. It still has ska,punk and jazz, but they are also experimenting alittle bit with reggae.
RETURN OF SATURN-Tragic kingdom was a hard act to follow but they have made a good job of this album. It is more punk and rock than ska.

ROCK STEADY-The new album. On this album they have completely dropped their ska roots and are trying out reggae (which is just a slower version of ska). The reggae works very well. It sounds more chilled out and sexy.
I warn people not to be put off buying this album because of the single 'HEY BABY'. This album is not R+B or Hip-Hop. It is strictly rock and reggae.
Standout tracks are:
HELLA GOOD-A rocky track, but mixed with cool keyboard sounds.
MAKING OUT-The best track on the album. It it is so good to dance too.
START THE FIRE-A really chilled out reggae track. Ignore the title.
WAITING ROOM-Not necessarily a good track but,since Prince has helped them with it, it is very awkward and different.

All in all I really reccomend this album.
