No Doubt continues its platinum success with ROCK STEADY, led by the undeniably adorable Gwen Stefani. Besides being a wonderfully charismatic front woman, Gwen's cute quotient is so high you can't help but like this band. While the group's last release, RETURN OF SATURN was more introspective and had a slightly more pop-oriented approach, STEADY returns the group to their roots sound of reggae and ska, while still mixing in a pop/rock feel. "Hey Baby", the first single, has an irresistible sing-along charm (including a rap by Bounty Killer) that makes it a natural for radio play. "Hella Good", possibly the album's standout track, is a funky, danceable tune reminiscent of peak-era Blondie. Gwen's sweet vocals shine through on the pretty "Running," and "Underneath It All" is a fantastic slow-tempo number that builds with a tight horn section.
An all-star cast of producers helped to make this the fun, polished album it is. Co-producer Ric Ocasek boosts "Don't Let Me Down" with a Cars-like synth hook, and injects "Platinum Blonde Life" with a crunchy guitar riff that also sparks memories of his former band. Other star producers include Prince, Sly & Robbie, and William Orbit. ROCK STEADY's musical mix has a wide appeal, custom-made for bringing in many new fans to the No Doubt fold.

Editorial Reviews
7 out of 10 - ...Just great...Such is this album's potential for hit singles, No Doubt will live to fight another day...
NME (01/05/2002)

...The best album they've ever hatched... - Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly (12/14/2001)

3.5 discs out of 5 - ...ROCK STEADY is fearless...veering from bubblegum soul jams to clipped, electro-funk, step-aerobic escapades and includes cameos by dancehall A-listers...
Vibe (02/01/2002)

8 out of 10 - ...The band sticks to its guns...and like all good suburban punks, [they] honor their origins, and their feelings...The most consistent touchstone of the album's high-detail sound is new-wave....Stefani's honesty is what makes her loveable...
Spin (01/01/2002)

3.5 stars out of 5 - ...Loose and frisky...the music here is simple and propulsive...Producer Ric Ocasek is definitely on some serious CANDY-O s*** here...
Rolling Stone (01/17/2002)

      IT NEVER GETS OLD-THAT UNIQUE STYLE THAT IS NO DOUBT
    Review created: 05/06/08

    I had this cd when it first came out. It would get me in a better mood after a hard day at work. Gwen's voice is so unique and sultry. And the beat is awesome. It is classic. It never gets old. This is one to have for your collection.
