No Doubt - Everything in Time

delightfully surprised

I didn't know this album was gona be this good... I LOVE IT!! :D:D:D Highly recommended, especially if you like No Doubt's older style and good instrumentation... February 16, 2008

Good collection of miscellaneous songs

I tend to like No Doubt's odd collections, like BEACON STREET and EVERYTHING IN TIME, because the songs that are left off the albums (or done on the side or, in the case of BEACON STREET, recorded while waiting for other things to happen) are less slick pop and closer to their first album. I was a big fan of theirs before they were famous, when I was in high school, and tend to prefer their more ska and power-pop songs.

"Cellophane Boy," "I Throw My Toys Around," "Big Distraction," and "Full Circle" are the primary attractions of this CD. January 11, 2007

[LEFT-OVERS] ARE ALWAYS GOOD IN {FOOD} & {MUSIC}

THE GREAT THING ABOUT THIS CD IS.
WHEN A PERSON OR GROUP MAKES AN ALBUM THEY WRITE & RECORD
A PILE OF SONGS.BUT YOU CAN FIT ONLY 80 MINUTES OF MUSIC ON ONE CD.THE GROUP AND THE RECORD COMPANY PICK THE SONGS THEY WANT TO BE SINGLES & MAKE VIDEOS TO;AND SONGS THEY THING WILL MAKE IT TO THE BILLBOARD CHARTS.SO A LOT OF SONGS THEY RECORD ARE PUT ON THE SHELF AND COLLECT DUST & SOMETIMES ARE NEVER HEARD;UNLESS THEY PUT THE SONGS ON THERE NEXT ALBUM.
BUT IF YOU ARE A FAN YOU WANT TO HEAR ALL THE SONGS NOT JUST THE
GREATEST HITS.AND GIVEN TIME & AND A OPEN MIND THIS PILE OF
UNRELEASED SONGS WILL BECOME YOUR NO DOUBT GREATEST HITS VOL.2
WHEN IT COMES TO NO DOUBT WITH GWEN STEFANI ON LEAD.YOU DON'T
HAVE TO HEAR THE SONGS ON THE RADIO,MTV OR VH1 TO FIND OUT THE SONGS ARE GREAT.PICK UP THIS CD AND FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF & TURN THE VOLUME IN MAX !!!

Everything In Time

First off, I would like to say that I love No Doubt (but though I love Gwen, and her music is good in its own way, I think that the solo career was a mistake). I think that they are the most talented band of all time, certainly the most talented band that I have ever heard. I just started to love No Doubt recently, and ordered all their CDs. Though this is a CD of B-Sides, I think that it is one of their best and that the songs should have all made it onto the records they were written for.

1. Big Distraction: 5/5. I love this song, I can't exactly explain why. The horn parts in it sort of sound like their early ska stuff, and I love the tune.
2. Leftovers: 4.5/5. Not my favorite on this CD, but it is good in its own way. It is a bit slow, and reminds me of a cross between something from Tragic Kingdom and Return of Saturn.
3. Under Construction: 5/5. I like the tune and guitar parts of this song. It reminds me of 'Six Feet Under' from Return of Saturn.
4. Beauty Contest: 5/5. A sad song, and has very deep lyrics. The phrase 'born to blossom, bloom to perish' is originally used in this song, but some of you may recognize it from Gwen's 'What You Waiting For?'. Wait until the last few seconds of the song, it's really cute!
5. Full Circle: 5/5. I love this song. The tune is really catchy, and the lyrics are good.
6. Cellophane Boy: 5/5. Another song that reminds me of a cross between something from Tragic Kingdom and Return of Saturn. Slow tune, not very catchy, but the lyrics are great.
7. Everything In Time (Los Angeles): 5/5. This song and Everything In Time (London) sound completely different, but they are both sad sounding and very beautiful lyrically.
8. You're So Foxy: 4/5. I like it, but it's just not one of my favorites. The verses are completely different from the chorus, and that's what sets it apart. On the inside cover of the CD, it said that this was a possible single, but if it was I don't think it would have even made it into the top 20. It doesn't sound like a song that you would hear on the radio.
9. Panic: 5/5. Love the lyrics, but the tune makes me all jittery. Another song where the verses sound completely different from the chorus.
10. New Friend: 5/5. This is one of my favorites from this CD. It's very reggae sounding, and the tune is so catchy! I think that this should have made it onto Rock Steady. Also, the song 'In My Head' from Rock Steady came from this song.
11. Everything In Time (London): 5/5. A very good song, great lyrics, but it makes me want to cry sometimes.
12. Sailin' On: 4/5. This was a cover song, it was originally by the Bad Brains. I like the way that they have adapted and made it theirs, their version is much slower than the original.
13. Oi To The World: 5/5. A really cool Christmas song. The lyrics are awesome, and though this wasn't their song originally, Gwen sounds truly great singing it.
14. I Throw My Toys Around: 5/5. This song was from the Rugrats movie, and features Elvis Costello. The tune is slow but catchy, and the lyrics are really cute.
15. New & Approved: 4/5. The remix is good, but goes on for too long. Personally, I liked the original better.
16 and 17. A Real Love Survives and A Rock Steady Vibe: 3/5. Catchy beat, but it isn't really by No Doubt. It mostly just has Miss Dynamite and Sweetie Irie rapping, and then occasionally has Gwen saying "A real love survives" in the background. Not my favorites. October 7, 2005

Read this!

No Doubt is one of those bands that trys new things, but still acts like.....themselves! They don't try to be someone that everyone likes, they just act like who they really are, and if fans don't accept them, then....fans don't accept them....but, saying that I would also like to add, that not everybody has the same taste---and therefore, don't always like the same genre of music.. but all I wanted to point out, is that Gwen is a beautiful hearted girl, and she loves being an artist and preforming and all that stuff.........this CD is one of the best that I've listened to in a really...really long time!!!! If you don't consider buying this CD, you're crazy! August 10, 2005
