Rock Steady (No Doubt)

September 19th, 2009 ...Tragic Kindgom being my first about seven years after its release, and Return Of Saturn in June 2006. 1. InTro * A snippet of the last track, Rock Steady. (3) 2. HeLLa gOOd * Lots of attitude and very dance-able. I didn't like this when it was out but I like it a lot now. Probably my favorite track on the album. Closer to a 4.25. (4) 3. Hey BabY * The first single off the album. Catchy, and was my favorite with Running back in 2001. Features Bounty Killer. (3.5) 4. MaKing OUt * Surprisingly, this song is funner than "Hey Baby" to me. I never heard it until this year, shortly before I got the album. (4) 5. UnDerNeaTh IT alL * A nice, relaxing track with a slight Jamaican vibe to it. The third and final single off the album in the US. Love the bridge. (4) 6. DetectiVE * Kinda fun, but more on the filler-ish side. Some say it has a dark vibe to it but I don't really hear it. It's just kinda quiet. (3) 7. DoN'T lEt me DoWn * A solid track. (4) 8. StarT ...

Hella Good is one of the best albums from No Doubt...Couldn't stop listening to it. I had order this cd and it was quoted to arrive in 5-7 business days. When the arrival date came and pasted and called and complained. After some resistance from th customer care agent he finally agreed to send me my cd's by expedited FedEx. The first set of cd's didn't arrive until another week later. I advise to never have something like that to arrive my US Mail. It is a nightmare.

Rock Steady by No Doubt is their last studio album before Gwen went solo, and boy that was biggest mistake she ever made. Gwen can't sing but the band rock! Gwen is all about image and looking good (which she rarely achieves) she knows her voice is lacklaster and that's why the only thing she can focus on is the materalistic BS! Rock Steady has too many producers and not a clear and simplistic sound. Songs I do like include: Platinum Blonde Life, Don't Let Me Down, In My Head, Hella Good, and Running. The rest of the tracks are over-played and filler. Hopefully the band will reunite in years to come but the talent and success doesn't go to Gwen, it goes to the hard-working and under-appreciated guys.

Good album. Real fun music. Always a No Doubt Fan.

Sorry, love No Doubt. They're fun as hell and one of the most under-rated live bands in music. This album tried it all and was utterly fearless about it. A great record. www.mypoproks.com

This CD is too much of a detour from their traditional sound, but it is pretty good anyways.

Rock Steady by No Doubt is a mixture of good tracks with some rather fluffy, insubstantial, not too creative stuff. The album begins with some catchy, energetic tunes: Hella, Hey Baby, Making Out. Underneath it All is a slower, crooning tune. Thereafter, the album doesn't really have much punch. Detective is kinda catchy, but also silly. Don't Let Me Down and In My Head and light and bouncy. Platinum Blonde Life has a good rock edge and is a good tune to have toward the end for some balance. Overall, a very listenable album, but doesn't register too much impact on the listener. Tragic Kingdom was more forceful.

best female singer in rock..

Not as good as old ND...TK and ROS were better, but everyone disses this albums o bad, I'm giving it a 4.

one of my faves from '02 and pretty good live

Used to be good, now sell-outs.

the cd should be pretty good. has more than a few good songs

it was ok ( the songs it's self ) but most of the videos were trashy-

hey. i really like no doubt because of their lyrics. also they dont have any pop in their songs and thats a major PLUS. has only one person left a comment? the videos are alil trashy but thats what makes them so funny and laid back
