Album of the Day: Tragic Kingdom- No Doubt

Album: Tragic Kingdom Artist: No Doubt Year Released: 1995 How obtained: The Sandell Memorial collection   Summary: I feel guilty about the oddest things.  I feel like I should support No Doubt because they are the hometown favorites and there aren’t that many female lead bands these days.  I liked the first album when it came out but I got so tired of hearing the music everywhere I turned. There are only two albums that I willingly have given up since I acquired my first records when I was 2 or 3 years old*: Howard Jones and No Doubt’s “Tragic Kingdom.”  Howard Jones I gave up because a girl in my English class talked about him non-stop to the point where I couldn’t even listen to his music without hearing her voice in my head.  No Doubt was so overplayed that I gave my copy to my sister.  Hearing their music was akin to eating a food that you had ingested just before a bout of stomach flu: not anything you would willingly put yourself through. Still, the album was one of those left in Rich’s music collection so I kept it.  I just listened to it for the first time in about 10 years. It’s still incredibly pop-py, I’m still not quite ready for a helping of it.   Side 1:
  1. Spiderwebs
  2. Excuse Me Mr.
  3. Just A Girl
  4. Happy Now?
  5. Different People
  6. Hey You
  7. The Climb
Side 2:
  1. Sixteen
  2. Sunday Morning
  3. Don’t Speak
  4. You Can Do It
  5. World Go ‘Round
  6. End It On This
  7. Tragic Kingdom
  *That doesn’t mean I still own them all, I did have someone who would “spring clean” my belongings while I was at school on trash day.  I lost some gems, too.
