String Quartet Tribute to No Doubt

Not For Fans of Lamb Of God

Do you like No Doubt? Ever wonder what it would sound like without a girl singer who's trying to hard? You do? Well that's great. Ever wonder what it would sound like with a violin and a cello? No? Well then what are you doing here on this page! Sorry... you're curiousity probably peeked you.

Well this CD is good. Alot of No Doubt songs are done extremely well here! In Fact, I'd venture to say it's in the top 10 String Quartet Tribute Albums of all time! I love the Hey Baby Version on this CD, and so will all of you.

You a FAN of No Doubt? Then Buy this album. You LIKE No Doubt? Buy this album, it may broaden your horizons. HATE NO DOUBT? Then why are you even here? Go find a string quartet tribute to someone you like, silly goose! July 11, 2008

Interesting...

The string tribute is, of course, not meant to substitute for the originals, but as a No Doubt fan I found the "classical" versions fun and a stimulating alternative. I can put No Doubt albums on repeat and rock out, but it's always great to hear remixes, covers, and different versions of a favorite artist.

I suggest you visit an independent music store or someplace you can better sample the album, rather than rely on the clips. If not, I would recommend the tribute to pretty solid No Doubt fans and to those interested in some refreshing classical music. March 19, 2006

hum...

some of the songs are alright, don't speak and simple kind of life aRE incredible. hella good and hey baby were a bad choice i think cos they are a bit repetitive when done on a string instument. im a little confused about vague moment..is that a no doubt song? June 8, 2005

Good, Depending On Your Taste

I know that some people were very disappointed with this CD; I wasn't, but maybe that's just because I am a tried-and-true No Doubt fan- I find it thrilling to hear different renditions of my favorite songs. Yes, some songs hang on the precipice of being tacky, especially the faster ones, like "Hella Good", and, in some ways, "Hey Baby". However, I think some work quite well. Obviously, all the original songs are better, but sometimes I get in a dramatic, classical-music mood, and this CD is awesome. "Ex-Girlfriend" sounds deliciously devious and dark with the deep string instruments, and "Don't Speak", like its original, is so heart-rendingly beautiful it'll pull at your heartstrings.

Overall, take care. I think the CD is well-made, with a good instrumentalists and fine arrangements, but I can understand how it would put some people off. But don't knock it till you give it a listen. And best of all- it's instant kareoke! November 16, 2004

Ha ha! Surely it's a joke! What? It isn't?!

When I listened to these clips, I cracked up. This is so bad it's funny, kind of like reality TV. If you want a laugh, try this CD. If you want music, I suggest you buy a REAL No Doubt album. No offense if you like chamber music; but these people who did this pathetically bad album have ruined it forever. September 18, 2004
