No Doubt Album: “A Tribute to No Doubt”

Wow! This CD turned excellent songs into completely unlistenable tracks. The backing music is dull and the singing is karoke-style - very unpolished and awful sounding. The singers sound like old ladies putting on a tarty attitude (really - that bad).

No Doubt fans = Don't buy it.

I'm not sure why people would choose to make a tribute album for a band that is still very active and making music. I can see it if you really did want to pay tribute to them, but these artists didn't even get the lyrics right! It is "Simple Kind of Life" NOT "Simple Kind of Love"! Most of the songs on this disc are bad cover songs taken from Rock Steady, an album that was released only 1 year ago. The rest are also horrible and are seriously lacking in talent. DO NOT waste your money on this album, if you want to hear AMAZING No Doubt music then buy their albums! I own every one of No Doubt's albums and they are all EXCELLENT! Better still you can hear all of these songs live as No Doubt are still doing a US tour with a setlist featuring every one of them! My advice is go for the real deal: Gwen, Tony, Adrian, and Tom. Maybe 30 or 40 years down the road there will be another "tribute album" to No Doubt, hopefully then, there will be some talented artists paying a much deserved tribute to the greatest band ever...for me anyways, No Doubt. One more thing: the cover art is cool, but where is the rest of the band? This is a No Doubt tribute right?

If you like No Doubt, I recommend you don't buy this CD. I've loved No Doubt forever and I just bought this CD today. The only reason I gave this two stars, besides the fact I'm being nice, was for "Simple Kind of Life". It's the only well done song on the entire CD. All the other songs are horrible. Every singer sounds exactly the same and it sounds like music from a karaoke bar. Especially "Hey Baby", "Rock Steady", and "Making Out". Whoever sang "New" should've taken a look at the lyrics prior to recording the song because she obviously had never heard the song before.

Yes, this CD is horrible and will totally annoy any No Doubt fan. If you can, listen to this version of "Simple Kind of Life" because it's actually really good. But by all means, write off the other bands as pure crap. And they didn't even cover "Bathwater", which actually could be a good thing. I don't want any cover band ruining my favorite song!

No Doubt fans, be warned. This is the worst tribute to anybody to ever hit store shelves. These songs are horrible. It says they are sung by different people, but they all sound the same.Shelly Haddick, the person who sang New, one of my favorite songs, shame on you. If your going to sing a song, make sure you at least know the words first. This cd was obviously a lame attempt to try to get nobodys out into the music world. No Doubt deserved better than this.

Uh...this is 1 women singing with some computer-made instruments in the background or something...it can't be all different bands. And did anyone else notice that for "New", this girl got almost all the lyrics wrong and mumbled most of them? This CD is the worst thing I've ever heard. Really.
