Amazing Box Set, No Doubt worth it!
For No Doubt FANS and casual listeners alike, this box set is a perfect way to sum up everything you've ever heard or ever wanted to hear. From their first radio hit, "Trapped In A Box", to their cover of "Ob-la-di Ob-la-da" and their wonderful video for "Underneath it All", this box set covers EVERY facet of No Doubt.
First is their Singles disc. You cannot go wrong with this, as every track sounds immaculate, including "Trapped", which sounds remastered and wonderfully louder. This disc also includes "It's My Life", their Talk Talk cover.
The next disc is their Rarities and B-Sides, which contains the cute Rugrats soundtrack song, "I Throw My Toys Around" and a couple remixes of "New". This disc makes the box set worth it alone, as all the wonderful "download only" No Doubt tracks are well represented in their full spunky glory.
The third disc is their Video Collection. This shows the simple mastery and wonderment of No Doubt, and the true constantly-improving glamour of Gwen Stefani. Their evolution from ska-punk band to electro-reggae-rock band makes sense while watching their videos. The themes in their videos range from Gwen's inability to snag camera time to a wonderful get-together involving spaghetti being thrown everywhere.
The last disc is something truly awe-inspiring, as it is a disc of Live performances from their Tragic Kingdom album. You cannot go wrong with any live performance from No Doubt. Their energy is high, and JUST in case you doubt Gwen Stefani's stage presence, see how much she sweats in every show. It's insane.
Just like you'd be to pass this gem up. Any No Doubt fan *should* already have this, but if you don't...here's your chance to redeem yourself. A+++++
Huge No Doubt collection all in one tiny box.
I bought this boxset once it was released, and absolutely loved 3/4 of the discs.
I thought the first disc was great (A "greatest hits" CD witch just about every one of their best songs in one collection), I just didnt care for any of the music (Besides 1 song) on the rarities/b-sides disc though. I must've taken it out about 2 times before giving up on it.
Pretty much any No Doubt fan already has the content on the first CD (The greatest hits) and the real reason I bought the set were the final 2 discs, the DVDs.
The first is their entire Video Collection up to the point of Its My LIfe, the 2nd is the DVD Release of the VHS Concert "Live in the Tragic Kingdom" which I've been waiting for for quite a while and was the big selling point for me.
Each of the 4 CD's come in thin cardboard cases much like 'demo disc' or 'free trial' CD's, all packaged in a cardboard box about 2 inches thick.
2 of the 4 discs have been released seperately (The singles CD and the Music Videos DVD), each in *REAL* CD/DVD Cases for a low price ($10 each), Had the Tragic Kingdom DVD been released seperately as well, I would recommend the 2 DVDs + The singles CD opposed to this set, but since that didnt happen, I can easily recommend this set.
3 of the 4 discs are excellent for any fan, and others may like the 4th disc (The B-Sides disc) as well, but I just couldnt get into it. Alongside this set I highly recommend the No Doubt Rock Steady Live DVD.
No Doubt that this Boom Box is BOOMIN'!
OMG! This is a great No Doubt set! It's got 4 discs!
Disc one: 'The Singles 1992-2003' CD
Disc Two: 'The Videos 1992-2003' DVD
Disc Three: 'The B-Sides' CD
Disc Four: 'No Doubt: Live in the Tragic Kingdom Concert' DVD
This is a great set, and makes a great gift for every No Doubt fan! I got this for Christmas last year from my brother (THANKS, MAN!). If anyone is wondering about the Parental Advisory lable on the front,. it's no big deal. On disc four, the Tragic Knigdom concert, durring the song 'Just a Girl', Gwen pauses and says "F!@#$ you, boys". Like i said, no biggie if you dont mind that word.
You MUST buy this!
