one of the best
The themes are consistent through-out the entire album, and references to DisneyLand are hidden through out. This is one of my favourite albums of all time. This is one of those cds you should have on a top 200 basis, especially if you love 90's music. The singles on this album are superb, but even the non-single tracks are awesome. The title track is epic. Also good are Happy Now, End it On This and World Go Round. Classic Ska, Classic 90's, and just good stuff all around.


gwen stefani !!!!!!!!!!!!
dose anybuddy know who no dubt singer is it is gwen stefani she was a great punker now shes a suck rapper with her solo albums i realy like tragic kingdom .


no doubt their best
In my opinion, this is their best album! I like every album they've ever made but simply this is their trademark. .
When you are talking about No Doubt, you automatically think about "dont speak" "excuse me Mr. " & "the climb". . . from the 1st time I heard the whole CD I knew all the songs (this is the 2nd time I buy it)
It's been more than 8yrs since I last heard it, yet I still knew all the lyrics. . . that's how much I love them.


Take This Pink Ribbon Off My Eyes...
The album remained in constant rotation on my CD player for many years thereafter and I count it as one of those "special" albums where everything about it seems to work it its favor. Man, I sure wish Gwen Stefani was still making music like this! I remember purchasing this album back when it was new after hearing "Spiderwebs" and "Don't Speak" on the radio. Gwen sounds fabulous and her vocal range is well displayed, the band is tight, the song lyrics are quirky and unique while also being intelligent and thought-provoking, the album doesn't sound overproduced, and it has a high re-listenability factor (read: you want to listen to it over and over again). Simply put, "Tragic Kingdom" is a modern classic that still sounds fresh today and remains a document of a time when all of the elements came together for No Doubt. It has a very positive, energetic vibe, helped in large part by Gwen Stefani's gutsy, theatrical vocal delivery. She was the alterna-chick that every high school girl wanted to be, with the platinum hair, brightly colored midriff-revealing clothes, and signature red lipstick. And I must admit that I cannot listen to this album without mourning, in a sense, the Gwen of yesteryear. . .

After "Return To Saturn" and "Rock Steady", the beginning of Gwen Stefani's solo career marked a change in her musical direction, and unfortunately not a good one. While I was initially intrigued by the idea of a solo Gwen, both of her solo albums so far seem to have proven how self-indulgent music can sometimes be and the pitfalls that can sometimes happen when one member of a band strikes out on his/her own. Silly songs with juvenile, pretentious lyrics, some of which are just plain dreadful, and a strange obsession with how much she likes her clothing line L. A. M. B. (which, sadly, was not only the inspiration for the title of her debut solo album, Love. Angel. Music. Baby, but was also featured in at least two songs, one of them on her second album). The whole solo career thing just seems so corporate and disposable, right down to the aviator sunglasses, the flat ironed hair, and the gold necklace she wears on the cover of "The Sweet Escape. " When untempered by her bandmates, a little bit of Gwen goes a long way. She used to make music that mattered and now she just makes fluff. I liked the old Gwen, before she had a clothing line and before she let her fame go to her head.

But all is not lost. We still have "Tragic Kingdom" to remember her by. Gwen, come back to us! It's time to take the pink ribbon off for real now.


One of my favorite CD's ever!
I would recommend this CD at anyone looking for something amazing, fun, and full of attitude. This CD is amazing! It is so high energy and fun! This is No Doubt at it's finest and it's most fun! The songs on this CD make me get up and jump around like nothing else.

Bottom Line : Buy this CD! You won't regret it! :).
