Somewhat satisfied
The cd was in great condition. I was somewhat satisfied considering that the only thing that mattered to me really was the cd. It did ship really fast. But the only thing that I'd think twice about is whether or not you prefer to have a cd cover covered in wax. I don't mind just as the cd plays perfect. And it does. So I thank this person for giving me a happy smile on my face as I put I the cd into my stereo. :).


Another great CD
If you like No Doubt's other CDs, you cannot miss with this one.


umm....
It was between their debut and this. I love Gwen Stefani and No Doubt, adn I figured, to tide me over until the Sweet Escape, I'd get one of ND's older CDs since I have all of them Tragic Kingdom and on. since Beacon Street got rave reviews, i bought it over the self-titled one. . When i popped it into my stereo, it was only alright. Some tracks were ok, but some made me feel nauseated and I could only listen to it for the first 5 seconds. *cough* blue in the face *cough* The only songs that I liked were By The Way and Doghouse was ok. I lovvveee by the way though. Overall its worth two stars for me. [I love the inside of the disc all the pics are so cool. I also like the disc with all the little band members!]

AC.


Blue in the face... Caise your always in a hurry....
Second, barely, to Tragic Kingdom. Beacon Street Collection is with out a doubt one of the best No Doubt cd's they ever produced. the Beacon Street Collection is just great, true ska. .


No Doubt back when they were ska!
They are both excellent albums and everyone should listen to them at least once. I'm having a hard time deciding if I like this one more than No Doubt's self-titled album. Here's a song by song:

1. Open the Gate: Love this track. Gets really catchy near the end. 9/10
2. Blue In the Face: This song is really annoying to me; it's too slow and Gwen's buzzy bee noises are annoying. 4/10
3. Total Hate 95: No Doubt and Sublime team up to bring us this incredibly catchy and fun jam. One of my favorites from this album. 10/10
4. Stricken: Gwen's singing is so cute and catchy on this one. I love it. 9/10
5. Greener Pastures: I didn't care for this one at first, but now I like it :) 8/10
6. By the Way: This one is somewhat slow and is carried by Gwen's singing. 7/10
7. Snakes: This one's ok, not particularly catchy but the guitars on this one are great. 8/10
8. That's Just Me: I love this one. 10/10
9. Squeal: Another really fast and catchy song. I like the horns on this one. 10/10
10. Doghouse: A great finisher. I love it. 10/10

I highly recommend this album if you (1) are interested in hearing what No Doubt sounded like before Tragic Kingdom (2) you really like Sublime (3) you are just interested in high-quality albums that are generally avoided by the mass media. If you really like this one, be sure to check out the self-titled one.
