Product Description
NO DOUBT Rock Steady (2001 UK 13-track enhanced CD for the fifth album by the American rock band including the singles Hey Baby Hella Good and Underneath It All plus also includes the video for Hey Baby Screensaver and The Making of Rock Steady video complete with picture sleeve)
From Amazon.co.uk
As much as No Doubt have protested that they are a singular unit and not "Gwen and her guys", Gwen Stefani's much-touted duets with rapper Eve and techno mogul Moby in the run-up to Rock Steady did nothing to juice the boys' spotlight, which had been steadily dimming since the release of 2000s Return of Saturn. But all that banter is silenced with Rock Steady, on which the music is definitely the star, unfettered by Gwen's cutesy-clouded feminism or dumped-by-the-boyfriend woes. Having mostly departed from their ska home base, No Doubt's well-navigated exploration of hip-hop beats, reggae and the reunion of 1980s keyboards and guitars finds the group picking up the pop-rock baton that Garbage dropped with an unsettling thud. Rock Steady's delegate of stalwart producers perfectly decorate the disc with their respective expertise; Ric Ocasek (new wave), Prince (R&B), Nellee Hooper (trip-hop), Sly & Robbie (dub) and William Orbit (trance) offer some staying power to music that's always been on the edge of disposable. Despite their disparate styles, the songs complement each other like stars and stripes. This is No Doubt's best album to date, and as they continue to expand their influences, the party only gets bigger. --Beth Massa
Chronique amazon.fr
Avec ce cinquième album studio, les trois musiciens de No Doubt ne prennent aucun risque : ils resteront loin des feux de la rampe, dans l'ombre de Gwen Stefani, leur emblématique chanteuse sexy aux cheveux roses ou blonds platine. Sous l'influence du duo formé par Gwen Stefani et Eve le temps d'un single "Let Me Blow Ya Mind", le combo canadien dédaigne désormais son attirance ska-punk, terreau de sa renommée depuis 1995 pour négocier d'autres virages sur des riffs new wave de guitares claires et des vocaux sucrés. Entre la Jamaïque et Los Angeles, No Doubt navigue entre hip-hop donc avec les producteurs de The Neptunes ("Hellagood"), reggae ("Hey Baby") enregistré avec la section rythmique légendaire Sly & Robbie et electro-pop sous les conseils avisés de William Orbit ("Making Out") ou de Prince qui prête même sa voix sur ("Waiting Around"). Avec cette flopée de producteurs émérites au service de hits-singles qui font le grand écart entre rock et hip-hop, Rock Steady transforme la simple chanteuse Gwen Stefani en diva pop. --Sabrina Silamo
