Album Description
Available in:
The Singles 1992–2003 is a greatest hits album by American rock band No Doubt, released on November 25, 2003 by Interscope Records. It features thirteen of the band's singles from their later three studio albums — Tragic Kingdom, Return of Saturn, and Rock Steady — and the single "Trapped in a Box" from their debut album, No Doubt. The album also included a cover of Talk Talk's song "It's My Life", which was the only new song on the album and which was released as a single. It was released alongside the DVD Rock Steady Live, a video of a concert as part of the band's Rock Steady tour in 2002, and the box set Boom Box, which contained The Singles 1992–2003, Everything in Time, The Videos 1992–2003, and Live in the Tragic Kingdom.
No Doubt went into hiatus in April 2003 after the release of four singles from their fifth studio album, Rock Steady, allowing the four members to spend time with loved ones. This also allowed their lead singer, Gwen Stefani, to work on her solo music side project, under which she has released two albums, Love. Angel. Music. Baby. in November 2004 and The Sweet Escape in December 2006. The band regrouped in September 2003 to record the lead single for the album, "It's My Life", with producer Nellee Hooper. Additionally, in May 2010, the band regrouped again to start work on their latest record.
The album sold moderately well, being certified double platinum in the United States and Canada, and platinum in Australia. It received mostly positive reviews from music critics, who praised the variety of music genres on the album. The album was re-released on November 2, 2010 under the title Icon, featuring a brand-new artwork.
User Album Review
Christmas is nearly here! You can tell because record shop shelves all over the land are suddenly flooded with an abundance of Best Of Compilations and Singles Collections. No Doubt's The Singles 1992-2003 is unlikely to stand out from the crowd. Leading lady Gwen Stefani, with her white-blonde tresses and full red lips has always had more impact than the songs she sings.
Things get cracking with Gwen and Co.'s breakthrough single "Just A Girl" and its a hugely enthusiastic, upbeat, guitar-fuelled pop stomper that just builds and builds until it almost bursts. It's one of the most competent tracks of the whole album and a fine example of how ludicrously contagious these guys can be. They have the admirable ability to get you singing along even after one listen. Very clever!
Fitting neatly into this category is No Doub's party piece "Hey Baby", with its catchy dancehall groove and addictive chiming chorus. Recorded in Jamaica, it sports co-production credits from reggae percussion legends Sly and Robbie and MC antics from Kingston bad boy Bounty Killer. Later on there'sa nod to more traditionalist reggae, with "Underneath It All", which includes cool chatting from Lady Saw as well as a damn catchy hook. Great stuff.
The tepid "Hella Good", produced by hip-hop heavyweights The Neptunes, is No Doubt on a dance tip, yet their familiar growling guitar licks still shine through to good effect. Unfortunately there is little else that makes much of a mark. Lukewarm offerings such as The Pretenders inspired "New" and a cover version of Talk Talk's80s hit "It's My Life" are weak and unexciting.
Running at almost 70 minutes this collection is too long and gets tiresome about half way through. A more stripped down and condensed package would have prevented the likes of smash hit "Don't Speak", the foursome's most glorious pop moment, from being buried and almost forgotten. What a shame!
