The Singles 1992–2003
The Singles 1992–2003 is No Doubt's greatest hits collection, released in November 2003 on Interscope Records. It gathers singles from Tragic Kingdom, Return of Saturn and Rock Steady, along with "Trapped in a Box" from their 1992 self-titled debut. That makes it a handy run through the band's changing sound, from ska-punk energy to a more electronic, pop-minded style.
It also marks a pause in the band's story. They had gone on hiatus in April 2003, after four singles from Rock Steady, and regrouped that September to record the one new track with producer Nellee Hooper: a cover of Talk Talk's 1984 song "It's My Life", which was released as a single. Critics generally liked the collection, praising the range of styles it covers. It was reissued as Icon in 2010.
