Disco de No Doubt: “Everything in Time (B-Sides, Rarities, Remixes)”

Descripción (en inglés) :

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. No Doubt: Gwen Stefani (vocals); Tom Dumont (guitar, keyboards, background vocals); Adrian Young (drums, percussion, background vocals). Additional personnel: Ms. Dynamite, Sweetie Irie, Elvis Costello (vocals); Stephen Bradley (trumpet, keyboards, background vocals); Phil Jordan (trumpet); Gabrial McNair (trombone, keyboards, background vocals). Recording information: 1996 - 2001. Previously only available as part of BOOM BOX, No Doubt's EVERYTHING IN TIME is exactly what its subtitle (B-SIDES, RARITIES, REMIXES) suggests--a collection of tracks that either didn't make it onto the band's official albums or were created for non-album purposes (i.e. movie soundtracks, etc.). Luckily, none of these recordings are throwaways; all are up to the standards of No Doubt's major releases and powerfully showcase the Southern California ensemble's trademark mix of ska, punk, and New Wave sounds. Several songs reveal the quartet's more experimental side. "Cellophane Boy" recalls the Beatles' SGT. PEPPER'S-era work, employing psychedelic Mellotron swirls and bouncy, McCartney-esque bass work from Tony Kanal. "New Friend" is one of the most hip-hop-oriented tracks the group has done, and wouldn't sound out of place on a Beyonce or Usher album. "You're So Foxy," on the other hand, brings Gwen Stefani's Debbie Harry influence to the fore, its propulsive disco rhythms strongly recalling Blondie's classic "Heart of Glass." Topping off the rarities section is the grand, mid-tempo Elvis Costello tune "I Throw My Toys Around" (from THE RUGRATS MOVIE), which features an appearance by the distinguished author himself.

No Doubt is truly a cutting edge band. This CD of 17 rare tracks are truly worthwhile. The styles vary from edgy new wave rock to dance oriented tracks to soothing reggae to two touching versions of the pretty ballad Everything In Time. Excellent hooks and touching arrangements on both versions as it truly is a CD highlight.

My other preferences include the upbeat Oi To The World, the reggae bopping Beauty Contest, the varying paces of New Friend, and the steady Under Construction. Now there is a mismatch between adjective and song title for you.

Anyway, I can see that in time I could really like nearly all the tunes on this recording. Even the Rock Steady remixes and the New and Approved have their moments.

Not perfect but certainly a B Plus rating at the minimum.

I bought this album simply because I am a No Doubt fan. I didn't expect much out of it except a few pretty good songs. I was so wrong. This CD is amazing. All of the songs were good enough to be on the albums if not singles! I enjoy all of the songs on this album. In fact, one of them has become my favorite No Doubt song of all time, if not my favorite song of all time. That song is "Full Circle". It's got amazing lyrics, vocals and melody. I love the line "Six degrees of seperation/ we all love someone else/ it all comes full circle." My second fave song on this album is "You're So Foxy". In the liner notes it said that this one was a possible single. You'd think that it at least would have made the album, but oh well. It doesn't matter now because you can have it anyway. All of the songs on this album are amazing. This is a must have for anyone, especially a No Doubt fan.

I originally got this CD as part of the No Doubt Boom Box limited edition box set. Now almost a year after the release of Boom Box, all four of the CD's and DVD's available in the set are available for individual purchase. Everything In Time is a No Doubt CD that the late 90's early 2000's No Doubt fan will appreciate. I have heard a lot of old fans complain that this CD has none of their pre-Tragic Kingdom or Beacon Street rarities or remixes. The CD opens with the song "Big Distraction." This is a really awesome CD nad it has a place in my collection right along with my other No Doubt CD's.

"Beauty Contest" will bring back memories of "Magic in The MakeUp" and other "Return of Saturn Songs." Another reason I really dig this CD is because you get some No Doubt songs that weren't available on their previous releases such as "Throw My Toys Around" featuring Elvis Costello and "Oi To The World." This CD rocks and it's really to great to fall in love with songs like "Full Circle" and "New Friend." These songs are so great I know it must be a really hard job for No Doubt to decide which songs actually make the album beacuse the ones that miss the cut are just as good!

This album is great for listening to while cleaning your house! I listened it to yesterday while I was cleaning, and it was really fun to dance to the great reggae beats while working. Gwen Stefani and Company sounded great....and I really liked the remixes at the end of the CD. The song EVERYTHING IN TIME was an appropriate one for this album. It showcases Gwen's singing ability along with great work from the band, and it has a timely message. No Doubt have come along way in the 10+ years they have been around, and no sound has been left unturned. If you are a serious NO DOUBT cd collector, then this one has to be included!

If you like classic No Doubt (tragic Kingdom & Return of Saturn), this CD is for you! I LOVE it! It's B-sides from when No Doubt was still Ska-ish--before Gwen started experimenting with the hip hop/R&B. There are a few--maybe 3 songs I don't really like that are remixes, but the other 15 are great! BUY IT!
