No Doubt-The Singles 1992-2003 下载, 专辑名称:The Singles 1992-2003 演奏乐队:No Doubt 专辑类别:欧美音乐1CD 发行公司:Interscope Records 发行日期:2003年11月25 专辑介绍: no doubt乐队是美国音乐界,特别是摇滚乐界特点非常鲜明的一支乐队,性感而富有征服力的女主唱gwen stefani是乐队永远的聚焦点,金色的长发、鲜红的嘴唇,个性又时髦的打扮,还有性感的唱腔,最近更被选为是全球五十大性感人物之一,她让No Doubt成为媒体宠儿,一举一动都能得到大篇幅报导,增加了No Doubt的曝光与宣传,当然对于单曲专辑的销售有很大的帮助,不过,No Doubt绝没有让八卦话题凌驾于音乐之上,媒体还是很愿意听他们谈论音乐,因为No Doubt的音乐确实有过人之处。 这个来自加州橘郡的乐团,以根源于牙买加、活泼热闹的舞曲ska为起点,1995年,当流行乐坛上大多数人都在朋克时,他们却反其道而行来个new wave,Just a Girl与Spiderwebs(乐队第一支真正被歌迷所记住的单曲,46届Grammy)这两首风格独具的单曲立刻彰显出No Doubt的存在,1996年,专辑《Tragic Kingdom》登上专辑榜冠军,抒情单曲Don't Speak更是蝉连Billboard成人榜15周冠军。一张《Tragic Kingdom》,No Doubt便丢出了五支单曲,还有较为硬式摇滚的Sunday Morning与Excuse Me Mr.,他们的音乐虽然都是热闹丰富,不过融合了ska、new wave、punk、ragge摇滚各式各样的音乐元素后,便让每首单曲都能带来些许不同的感觉。2000年的《Return Of Saturn》多了一些浪漫旋律,首支单曲New维持了多采多姿的繁复流行曲风,第二支单曲Simple Kind Of Love却如同歌名一般,来个大转变成为简简单单的成人抒情摇滚,之后的Ex-Girlfriend与Bathwater再回来大家熟悉的No Doubt,但比起《Tragic Kingdom》,《Return Of Saturn》中的Gwen成熟了。2001年的《Rock Steady》,No Doubt强调了牙买加的根源,也加入了更多的点缀,首支单曲Hey Baby(获Grammy奖)便与牙买加DJ合作完成,是首欢乐动感的节庆舞曲,Hella Good有着前卫电子味道,由Eurythmics的Dave Stewart所创作的Underneath It All则是甜美轻快的抒情歌,最后的Running更是醉人的柔情旋律。 一路走来,Gwen与No Doubt很明显的进步与成长,这张《The Singles 1992-2003》是最佳的见证,除了《Tragic Kingdom》、《Return Of Saturn》、《Rock Steady》三张专辑的单曲之外,还有1992年真正首张专辑中的Trapped in a Box,以及最新翻唱自Talk Talk的单曲It's My Life,不要怀疑,这就是No Doubt。 专辑曲目: 01.

Trapped In A Box Editorial Reviews From Amazon.co.uk Though they've suffered death, departure and fraught internal and external relationships, No Doubt have kept faith with fun throughout, as The Singles very clearly proves. As their troubles have made them far from prolific, it's culled almost entirely from three albums--Return of Saturn, Rock Steady and their mega-hit Tragic Kingdom--with just the quirky, warped ska of "Trapped in a Box" to represent their eponymously titled major label debut. As said, it's excellent fun, from the opening power anthem "Just a Girl", through the ultra-modern, Madonna-like "Hey Baby" and the urgent, melodious power pop of "Excuse Me Mr" to the Chicago-style break-up ballad "Don't Speak". It's easy to see how this colourful band of Anaheim skanksters came to be seen as an energising antidote to the crushing male miserabilism of grunge. There are a few extras; a reverent cover of Talk Talk's "It's My Life", a dance-metal "Hey Baby" remix and a live repeat of the cute, Leonard Cohen-quoting "Underneath It All", featuring Gwen Stefani's vocal and a simple acoustic guitar. But, naturally, it's the hits that count and they're all here, every bouncing, beaming one of them. It's a fine testament to one of America's most enduring pop acts. --Dominic Wills
