LA RECENSIONE
Son venuto a vedere qualche de-recensione e ho visto che non c'è minimamente traccia dei mitici No Doubt. A dire il vero per cominciare a scrivere dei No Doubt bisognerebbe recensire l'album più famoso e di successo per avvicinare magari anche il neofita a questo gruppo. Ma in fondo di Tragic Kingdom hanno recensito un po' tutti, di meno forse del loro omonimo esordio del 1992, che, rispetto al disco che ho appena menzionato, non ha avuto lo stesso consenso di critica e pubblico.
Il primo disco che ho comprato dei No Doubt è stato proprio questo ed è da qui che ho iniziato ad amarli, così alla fine ci sono particolarmente legato. Ma non solo perché è stato il mio primo disco dei No Doubt, questo cd lo consiglierei a tutti per passare tre quarti d'ora in compagnia di ska, reggae e pop; una miscela che definirei un crossover che a tratti ricorda moltissimo i Red Hot Chili Peppers.
In questo miscuglio di sonorità emerge però una canzone all'inizio sussurata dolce melodica che poi esplode in tutta la sua dolcezza e grinta nel meraviglioso chorus. Beh, se avete appena preso il disco e non sapete da dove cominciare oppure siete incuriositi fermatevi alla traccia n° 10, la canzone si chiama Sometimes e non mi è andata più via dalla testa da quando la ascoltai la prima volta un po' di tempo fa. Penso che a voi Farà Lo Stesso Effetto. Vi assicuro che non ha nulla da invidiare a Don't Speak. E vi ho detto tutto.
Da ricordare anche pezzi da urlo che ti fanno scatenare già dalle prime note come le varie Let's Get Back, Get On The Ball, Doormat e Move On ma tutti i pezzi in generale non si discostano dall'essere frenetici e molto ballabili con la voce di Gwen che già qui dimostra tutte le sue qualità ma che raggiungerà forse picchi ancora più elevati per ecletticità vocale nei due dischi successivi: uno autoprodotto (Beacon Street Collection) e l'altro il famoso Tragic Kingdom. Da citare poi l'ultima traccia A Brand New Day che ricalca abbastanza lo stile dei No Doubt che verranno negli anni seguenti.
Se anche voi volete entrare nel mondo dei No Doubt questo sicuramente è da non lasciarsi sfuggire, sia per chi non li conosce sia per chi non lo ha nella propria collezione.
Carico i commenti... con calma

03 Ache (03:48)
Woke up this morning and felt no too cool
'Cause every time I tried to make my mouth move
The pain I'm having is so discomforting
Please make this suffering go away
I told my mom what I was feeling
And how long I've been dealing with it
Knew it was coming, but didn't know how soon
She said I've reached another adolescent monsoon
OOoo Ahh... the pain is tremendous
Why can't I take it like a man
OOoo Ahh... the pain is horrendous
Why don't you lend a helpin' hand
He was a well-educated man, had his degree in medicine
I noticed his hairy hands... he was a very, very hairy man
He looked right down in, shook his head and then
said "These teeth must be pulled right away!"
He turned around, rolled up his sleeve
I rolled my eyes then suddenly
A horrible pain grew, the next thing that I knew
The doc had pulled my wisdom teeth...OUT!
Well along with my teeth my money also left me
As he made out the bill, I was moaning
OOoo Ahh... the pain is tremendous
Where the hell is my prescription...of codeine?
But when will I speak, how long until my mouth feels natural?
How long will they bleed, when will they heal, where's the real meal
? How do you feel? How do you feel? How do you feel? How do you
feel?
I feel good...I feel great...there's no pain...there's no ache
I feel good...I feel great...just let me recuperate
Because the codeine has left me drowsy, leave me be...just let me sleep!
04 Get on the Ball (03:32)
Don't wait too long or she'll be gone fast as a blink
Get on the ball if you love your lover
No gesture to small
Tear down the walls if you love her
Just give it your all
Ooo yeah, you've got to tell her that she's the only one
Show her, make sure she'll never feel abandoned
Get on the ball if you love your lover
No gesture too small
Tear down the walls if you love her
Just give it your all
Don't wait too long or she'll be gone fast as a blink
Don't wait too long or she'll be gone fast as a blink
Ooo yeah, you've got to tell her that she's the only one
Show her, make sure she'll never feel abandoned
There won't be time to even think
So use your mind and instinct
She'll drive you crazy
So don't be so damn lazy
05 Move On (03:55)
Some chickens crossed the road, straying
far from the hen
Five reached the side one step below Zen
One was a female, four were mad-men
Who moved on, moved on move on
Standing in line and falling asleep
Building a fence while we're counting the sheep
We'd let you help out but our projects are too deep
Move on, move on, move on
You have to understand that when it comes
to making music
We meshed the styles of five alive and
intertwined and fused it
Life comes from life and through our strife we
strove to make the sound true
Compelled to spell it out, in search
of what we must do
Our house was to small so we had to move
The neighbors had much doubts so we had to prove
That our soulful dimensions were true to the groove
We, moved on, moved on, moved on
Water the music, plant the seeds in the pot
Music is life flowing through... is it not?
Don't forget your roots, but also don't rot
Just move on, move on, move on Don't be afraid, let your feelings show Wear
your heart on your sleeve,
and let yourself glow
06 Sad for Me (01:59)
Please Miss Fried
He don't mean to be mean
He just needs to leave
He hopes he does not
Cause you inconvenience
Why can't you see?
He says, "please don't be sad for me"
Oh Miss Fried
Please believe you're his queen
He must fight for his dreams
Lovely Miss Fried
He will too miss you
He just needs to be free
He says, "If I should ever cause you to
bleed... don't pretend to be naive"
Don't take him wrong, let him be
Sometimes he feels like he ought to be alone
He says, "Please don't be sad for me"
09 Trapped in a Box (03:24)
Trapped in a box of tremendous size
It distorts my vision, it closes my eyes
Attracts filthy flies and pollutes in the skies
Sucks up our lives and proliferates lies
Trapped in a box
Trapped in a box, four walls as sky
Got a screen for a window about two feet wide
My mind rides and slides as my circuits are fried
No room for thought, use the box as my guide
Trapped in a box
Trapped in a box
Watch the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
We're all trapped in a box
Trapped in a box I'm not alone
I know of others with a box as their home
Light only enters from a crack or a hole
This is not enough for a human to grow
Trapped in a box
CHORUS
Always wanting a different view
Instant gratification for you
Reality gone in a single click
Just hope that that switch won't stick
Trapped in a box my life becomes void
All I thought for myself is now destroyed
Controlling my mind, what to eat, what to buy
Subliminal rules: how to live, how to die
Trapped in a box
CHORUS
13 Paulina (02:30)
Paulina - she's on the cover of a magazine Paulina - a woman in my nightly dreams Paulina - who makes me grin in any pose Paulina - I wish she'd take off all her clothes Paulina - well I stare at her pictures all day long Paulina - and as I do I sing this song Paulina - my father says to act my age Paulina - as I single handedly turn the page Paulina - well I paste her pictures on the wall Paulina - sit by the phone and hope she'll call Paulina - although I know she never will Paulina - to indulge myself is such a thrill Paulina - she's the big red apple of my eye Paulina - I wish she'd lay down by my side Paulina - but if she ever knew my pursuit Paulina - she would probably file a huge lawsuit Yeah yeah oh oh oh oh

La voce di Gwen è da brividi, il gruppo la asseconda a meraviglia… lo adoro.
Questo CD non vale i 10 euri spesi… ne vale il doppio, il triplo, il quadruplo.
