| Rock Steady is the latest release from No Doubt, and | | | | December 11, 2001 on the Interscope Records label. |
| is another great one from this talented group. | | | | CD Track List Follows: |
| I wish it weren't the case but, it's not everyday that I | | | | 1. Intro |
| get a CD for review that I can just pop in and | | | | 2. Hella Good |
| comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is | | | | 3. Hey Baby - (featuring Bounty Killer) |
| usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to | | | | 4. Making Out |
| get through. Not at all the case with Rock Steady. | | | | 5. Underneath It All - (featuring Lady Saw) |
| Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me | | | | 6. Detective |
| to listen to from start to finish. | | | | 7. Don't Let Me Down |
| Rock Steady is a nicely varied, mix of 13 tracks that | | | | 8. Start The Fire |
| are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by | | | | 9. Running |
| these clearly gifted musicians. Most of the songs | | | | 10. In My Head |
| display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really | | | | 11. Platinum Blonde Life |
| great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only | | | | 12. Waiting Room |
| imagine are their own personal experiences. At | | | | 13. Rock Steady |
| different points touching on the most real emotions of | | | | No Doubt: Gwen Stefani (vocals, programming); Tom |
| love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly | | | | Dumont (guitar, keyboards, programming); Tony Kanal |
| be heard. | | | | (saxophone, keyboards, bass, programming); Adrian |
| I give Rock Steady my highest recommendation. It just | | | | Young (drums). |
| plain belongs in any serious music collectors collection | | | | Additional personnel includes: Lady Saw, Bounty Killer |
| regardless of genre preference. | | | | (vocals); Django Stewart, Andy Potts (saxophone); |
| While the entire album is really very good some of my | | | | Stephen Bradley (trumpet); Gabrial McNair (trombone, |
| favorites are track 5 - Underneath It All, track 11 - | | | | Clavinet, keyboards); Prince (keyboards, background |
| Platinum Blonde Life, and track 13 - Rock Steady | | | | vocals); Ric Ocasek (keyboards); Robbie Shakespeare |
| My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in | | | | (bass); Sly Dunbar, Phillip Steir, Sean Spuehler, Eric |
| "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 2 - Hella Good. What a | | | | White, Ned Douglas (programming). Producers include: |
| nice track! | | | | William Orbit, Steely & Clevie, Ric Ocasek, Nellee |
| Rock Steady Release Notes: | | | | Hooper, Sly & Robbie. Engineers include: Clif Norell, |
| No Doubt originally released Rock Steady on | | | | Dan Chase, Greg Collins. |
