Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Though they've suffered death, departure and fraught internal and external relationships, No Doubt have kept faith with fun throughout, as The Singles very clearly proves. As their troubles have made them far from prolific, it's culled almost entirely from three albums--Return of Saturn, Rock Steady and their mega-hit Tragic Kingdom--with just the quirky, warped ska of "Trapped in a Box" to represent their eponymously titled major label debut.

As said, it's excellent fun, from the opening power anthem "Just a Girl", through the ultra-modern, Madonna-like "Hey Baby" and the urgent, melodious power pop of "Excuse Me Mr" to the Chicago-style break-up ballad "Don't Speak". It's easy to see how this colourful band of Anaheim skanksters came to be seen as an energising antidote to the crushing male miserabilism of grunge. There are a few extras; a reverent cover of Talk Talk's "It's My Life", a dance-metal "Hey Baby" remix and a live repeat of the cute, Leonard Cohen-quoting "Underneath It All", featuring Gwen Stefani's vocal and a simple acoustic guitar. But, naturally, it's the hits that count and they're all here, every bouncing, beaming one of them. It's a fine testament to one of America's most enduring pop acts. --Dominic Wills



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Music - Great collection
A lovely and very varied collection of No Doubts music. Definitely one for the car!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - No Doubt about it - this is good!
I have to admit that I didn't recognise any of these when I looked at the track titles - apart from Don't Speak! However, when I listened to the album I found that I knew a lot of the tracks but just didn't link them with the group or song titles!

I would never have said that I was a No Doubt fan - something that has, however, changed since listening to this album. It is wonderful and gives a newcomer to or a real fan of the group's music the best of their tracks. Let's face it - ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - WAOW- I love this, LOVE this! (Review by Sarah)
This is possibly my favourite album. I adore it! While I have my favourites I love every song on the album, there's about two I don't listen to as much as the rest.

I can't even list my favourites because I love this album so much! My least faves, but still good songs, would have to be "Ex Girlfriend", "Excuse me Mr" and "Trapped in a box". By the way, if you haven't heard other No Doubt stuff I'd really recommend you listen to "Platinum Blonde Life" although it isn't on this album.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - No Doubt {"it's tremendous fun..."}
Has all the essential No Doubt songs my favourites being:~

Spiderwebs
Trapped In A Box
Running
Just A Girl
Bathwater

A must for any No Doubt fans looking just to buy one album, this really show cases Gwen's ever enigmatic talents, like I said it's fun, I gave this four stars because I think it was sometimes too fun for my liking, and Don't Speak is the only really serious side to them portrayed on here I guess...

Still if you want to get into No ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 5 STAR PLUS!
This is one of the best greatest hits albums ever! and No doubt is one of the greatest bands of all time as they have all different kinds of music. I like all kinds of music and that's why I like No doubt plus Gwen stefanis great voice. Every song is great on this album but heres what I think of them:

Just a Girl- A classic 1995 No Doubt song. Very catchy and their most popular except Don't Speak 9/10

It's my Life- No Doubts lateset song released in 2003. This song was very popular ... Read More
