No Doubt - The Beacon Street Collection

Another great CD

If you like No Doubt's other CDs, you cannot miss with this one. May 21, 2007

umm....

I love Gwen Stefani and No Doubt, adn I figured, to tide me over until the Sweet Escape, I'd get one of ND's older CDs since I have all of them Tragic Kingdom and on. It was between their debut and this. since Beacon Street got rave reviews, i bought it over the self-titled one.. When i popped it into my stereo, it was only alright. Some tracks were ok, but some made me feel nauseated and I could only listen to it for the first 5 seconds. *cough* blue in the face *cough* The only songs that I liked were By The Way and Doghouse was ok. I lovvveee by the way though. Overall its worth two stars for me. [I love the inside of the disc all the pics are so cool. I also like the disc with all the little band members!]

Blue in the face... Caise your always in a hurry....

Beacon Street Collection is with out a doubt one of the best No Doubt cd's they ever produced. Second, barely, to Tragic Kingdom. the Beacon Street Collection is just great, true ska. May 8, 2006

No Doubt back when they were ska!

I'm having a hard time deciding if I like this one more than No Doubt's self-titled album. They are both excellent albums and everyone should listen to them at least once. Here's a song by song:

1.Open the Gate: Love this track. Gets really catchy near the end. 9/10
2.Blue In the Face: This song is really annoying to me; it's too slow and Gwen's buzzy bee noises are annoying. 4/10
3.Total Hate 95: No Doubt and Sublime team up to bring us this incredibly catchy and fun jam. One of my favorites from this album. 10/10
4.Stricken: Gwen's singing is so cute and catchy on this one. I love it. 9/10
5.Greener Pastures: I didn't care for this one at first, but now I like it :) 8/10
6.By the Way: This one is somewhat slow and is carried by Gwen's singing. 7/10
7.Snakes: This one's ok, not particularly catchy but the guitars on this one are great. 8/10
8.That's Just Me: I love this one. 10/10
9.Squeal: Another really fast and catchy song. I like the horns on this one. 10/10
10.Doghouse: A great finisher. I love it. 10/10

I highly recommend this album if you (1) are interested in hearing what No Doubt sounded like before Tragic Kingdom (2) you really like Sublime (3) you are just interested in high-quality albums that are generally avoided by the mass media. If you really like this one, be sure to check out the self-titled one. March 30, 2006

Beacon Street Collection

Easily one of No Doubt's finest, the Beacon Street Collection stars amazing frontwoman Gwen Stefani in the band's early, raw, ska sound. A must-have for hardcore ND fans!
