E85 - No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom

Next up to be dissected inside the Personal Jukebox is Tragic Kingdom by No Doubt.

With this record, first released in 1995 but not gaining mega popularity until early ‘97, No Doubt hit the big time. Blending ska, pop and punk with Gwen Stefani’s ‘one of the guys’ allure wrote the guys their ticket to a diamond selling disc. 
Question is… is the album actually any good? Is there anything on this worth listening to past the big singles? Do the aforementioned big tunes stand the test of time? And were No Doubt just a marketer’s dream at the time when chucking a female frontwomen out there to appease teenage boys was as easy as 1,2,3?
