"Tragic Kingdom" is the third studio album by American third wave ska band No Doubt, released on October 10, 1995 (see 1995 in music) by Trauma Records, a division of Interscope Records. The album was produced by Matthew Wilder and was recorded in eleven different studios across California between March 1993 and October 1995. The album takes it name from the nickname Tom Dumont's teacher had for Disneyland in California – a pun on the nickname "The Magic Kingdom."

After the commercial failure of "No Doubt", the band's debut album, Interscope Records paired the band with producer Matthew Wilder and rejected much of the band's material, refusing to let them record a second album under Interscope. This alienated songwriter Eric Stefani, who withdrew from and eventually left the band in 1994. Frustrated by their lack of progress with Interscope, No Doubt recorded and released their second album, "The Beacon Street Collection", independently. It performed moderately well, selling 100,000 copies and ensured that Interscope would finance another album. During one of the recording sessions for "Tragic Kingdom", No Doubt met Paul Palmer, owner of Trauma Records, who persuaded Interscope to sign No Doubt to him and released the album under his own label.

Upon its release, "Tragic Kingdom" received mixed reviews from music critics. It was commercially successful, selling over sixteen million copies worldwide and being certified Diamond in the U.S. and Canada, Platinum in the UK and 3x Platinum in Australia. At the 39th Grammy Awards, No Doubt earned nominations for Best New Artist and Best Rock Album. The album's crossover success helped to initiate the ska revival of the 1990s, persuading record labels to sign more ska bands and helping them attract mainstream attention. "Tragic Kingdom" yielded seven singles from 1995 to 1998, including "Just a Girl", "Spiderwebs", "Excuse Me Mr.", "Sunday Morning" and their greatest hit "Don't Speak".

Background

No Doubt released its debut album "No Doubt" in 1992, a year after being signed to Interscope. The group's commercial sound came at a time when most of the United States was in the thrall of grunge music, a genre which sharply contrasted with the songs on No Doubt's pop-orientated album.Bush, John.

The band started to work on its second album in 1993 but Interscope, having lost faith in the band, rejected most of its material and so it was paired with producer Matthew Wilder. Eric Stefani did not like to relinquish creative control to someone outside the band and eventually stopped recording and rehearsing."No Doubt". "Behind the Music". VH1. April 9, 2000.] He encouraged other members of the band to write songs but sometimes felt threatened when that happened. Eric became increasingly depressed, and in September 1994, he stopped going to rehearsals, though they were usually held at his house.Heath, Chris. "Snap! Crackle! Pop!". "Rolling Stone", issue 759. May 1, 1997.] He soon left No Doubt to pursue an animation career on the popular TV series "The Simpsons". Bassist Tony Kanal then ended his seven-year relationship with Gwen, saying that he needed "space". ["Born to Be". MuchMusic programming. Original airdate: March 2006.

Retrieved August 26, 2008.]

The band decided to produce their next album independently and recorded their second album, "The Beacon Street Collection" in a homemade studio. [http://www.nodoubt.com/band/ Timeline of the band's history] from their official website.] No Doubt's first two singles were released for "The Beacon Street Collection": "Squeal" and "Doghouse", [http://www.nodoubt.com/music/singles.aspx Squeal and Doghouse] at No Doubt's official website.] under their own record label, Beacon Street Records. [ [http://www.nodoubt.com/music/ No Doubt's discography] from their official website.] Despite limited availability, the album was a modest success, selling 100,000 copies in the year of its release, over three times as many as "No Doubt". Their independence and success attracted Interscope's attention and ensured that they would fund a third album.

Music

Since most of the songs on "Tragic Kingdom" were written by lead vocalist Gwen Stefani, and were about her experiences in life, and those from No Doubt's previous album "The Beacon Street Collection" were written mainly by Eric Stefani, who left the group before "Tragic Kingdom" was recorded, the style of music changed from what No Doubt had previously produced. Guitarist Tom Dumont explained the change in sound in an interview for Backstage Online:

quote|Well, there is a reason that the sound of our music has changed and it's not because we've sold out. Easy for me to say. Eric, our keyboard player used to write most of our songs. He was the main creative force in the band for many years. And at a certain point after that first album came out, he had this personal thing, like he didn't like touring, he didn't like all that stuff. He just liked to sit down and write songs. That's him. He's the artistic side, the total Mr. Creative.

Well, what happened is when Eric decided to leave the band it left the song writing to us, me, Gwen, Tony, the rest of us and it's a really natural thing for our songwriting style to be different than Eric's. Just, we're different people. I mean, we've learned a lot from him and he taught us a lot of things about songwriting, but we write simpler music. We have a simpler style. We're not quite genius like him, I think. This album was our first attempt, it was Gwen's first time really writing all the lyrics herself, so to me, it was the opposite of selling out. We have done something that is even more personal. In the past, Eric was writing songs about his life and having Gwen sing them. Now we have Gwen singing and writing about her own experiences. [ [http://www.nodoubt.com/press/articles/10BackStage.asp Interview with Tom Dumont] by Evan Zelig for Backstage Online on October 31, 1996.]

The songs on "Tragic Kingdom" use dance rhythms influenced by reggae, ska, punk rock, and Tejano, among others. [Eddy, Chuck. "No Doubt". "The Village Voice", volume 41, issue 16. April 16, 1996.]

Production

"Tragic Kingdom" was recorded in eleven different studios in Los Angeles, "wherever [Interscope] could get a deal on a studio," starting in March 1993 and finally being released two-and-a-half years later in October 1995. During one of these recording sessions, the band was introduced to Paul Palmer who had previously worked with Bush and was interested in mixing No Doubt's new album. After mixing the first single, "Just a Girl", Palmer went on to mix the rest of the record. He wanted to release the album on his own label, Trauma Records, which was already associated with Interscope, and succeeded in getting the contract. This ensured that "Tragic Kingdom" got the focus that comes from a small company.Sandler, Adam.

The album is named after the nickname Dumont's 7th grade teacher had for Disneyland, which is located in Anaheim, California where the band members grew up. It is a pun on the popular nickname for Disneyland - "The Magic Kingdom". [ [http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1432752/19960408/story.jhtml Interview] with MTV on March 8, 1996.] The album cover features Gwen in the foreground and the rest of the band's members standing in an orange grove in the background. Although it was a source of tension for the band, Gwen pushed for Eric to be included on the album cover, reasoning that although he had left the band, he had still contributed substantially to the album. Eric is seen near the back of the picture, looking away from the camera. The pictures on the cover and in the liner notes were taken on California city streets and in orange groves. The red dress Gwen wears on the cover was loaned to the Hard Rock Cafe and was later displayed at the Fullerton Museum Center in an exhibit titled "The Orange Groove: Orange County's Rock n' Roll History".

Reception

Release and impact

"Tragic Kingdom" was first released by Trauma/Interscope October 10, 1995. The album sold poorly at first, and it did not appear on the "Billboard" 200 chart until the first week of January 1996.Basham, David. [http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1452903/20020314/brandy.jhtml "Got Charts? The Long Road To #1—And Those Who Rocked It"] . MTV News. March 14, 2002. Retrieved September 16, 2008.] To promote the album, Trauma launched a street campaign targeting high schoolers and the skateboarding community. No Doubt performed on the Warped Tour, which was sponsored by several skateboarding companies, and at several skateboarding festivals. The album remained low on the "Billboard" 200 and did not enter the top hundred until February 1996, when it jumped twenty-seven positions to number eighty-nine. Palmer attributed the jump to a Channel One News program that Stefani hosted in January 2006, which was broadcast in twelve thousand classrooms, and the band's following performance at a Blockbuster store in Fresno, California. [Borzillo, Carrie. "Trauma's No Doubt keeps faith". "Billboard", volume 108, issue 6. February 10, 1996.]

In May 1996, the band worked with HMV, MuchMusic, and the Universal Music Group to put on a global in-store promotion. The band performed and answered questions in MuchMusic's studios in Toronto, Ontario. The session was broadcast live to HMV stores worldwide and on a webcast so that fans could watch and ask the band questions through MuchMusic's VJs. Sales of "Tragic Kingdom" doubled the week after the event. The event's sponsors lobbied Guinness World Records to create a category for the largest virtual in-store promotion to recognize the event. [Smallbridge, Justin. "Show and sell". "Marketing", volume 102, issue 23, page 15. June 16, 1997.]

"Tragic Kingdom" eventually reached the top of the chart in December 1996, and it remained there for eight weeks. It was listed second on the 1997 year-end "Billboard" 200, behind the Spice Girls' "Spice".

Critical reception

The album received mixed reviews from critics. Allmusic called it "pure fun" and described the music as something "between '90s punk, third-wave ska, and pop sensibility" and a mix of "new wave melodicism, post-grunge rock, and West Coast sunshine", indicating the songs "Spiderwebs", "Just a Girl" and "Don't Speak" as "postively [ruling] the airwaves"."

Retrieved on September 13, 2008.] "Entertainment Weekly" gave the album a C+ rating. Reviewer David Browne attributed No Doubt's success to Gwen Stefani's "leggy, bleached-blond calling card" and concluded that "sex still sells". Browne however described the music as "a hefty chunk of new-wave party bounce and Chili Peppers-style white-boy funk, with dashes of reggae, squealing hair-metal guitar, disco, ska-band horns" and the band as sounding like "savvy, lounge-bred pros". Individual songs were singled out and commented on: "Just a Girl" was described as "a chirpy, ska-tinged bopper", "Don't Speak" as "an old-fangled power ballad" and "Sixteen" as a "song of solidarity with misunderstood teenage girls".

"Tragic Kingdom" Tour

No Doubt embarked on the "Tragic Kingdom" Tour after the release of the album. The band chose Project X, headed by Luc Lafortune and Michael Keeling, to design the stage. No Doubt suggested decorating the stage as a clearing in a forest. Project X created three anthropomorphic trees with glowing oranges. The show included clear and mylar confetti designed to look like rain. Lighting design was difficult because there were only four rehearsals, so the show was arranged to be flexible to allow for what Lafortune referred to as "a very kinetic performance." [McHugh, Catherine. "Keys to the Kingdom". "Theatre Crafts International", volume 31, issue 7. August/September 1997.] The band expected that it would tour for two months, but the tour ended up lasting two and a half years. An early 1997 performance at the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim was filmed and later released as "Live in the Tragic Kingdom" on VHS and later, DVD. Directed by Sophie Muller, the video includes cover versions of Sublime's "D.J.'s", "The Imperial March" from "", The Specials' "Ghost Town", and The Beatles' "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da".
