In a few words:
...
I always thought that No Doubt made a huge success due to their hit singles, like "Don't Speak" that is included here. However, when I first listened to this album I was very surprised and impressed from their songwriting. Although "Don't Speak" - probably their most known song - is a very good (power) ballad, the rest songs have nothing to do with it. So, we have a punk altitude in guitars, some wind instruments (like trumpet) that implying ska influences and a crazy singer with a very good voice. There is a musical variety in the songs, which makes them interesting plus a positive feeling. The album is quite enjoyable this season.

Personal highlights:
"Excuse Me Mr.", "Sixteen" and "Sunday Morning"
