These pictures were taken from this album (not mine) that goes into detail about her costumes. It's very interesting: https://imgur.com/a/ZIkZR It doesn't include anything from the most recent season but her costumes in the most recent one were D as hell, I would say, except her white fur coat.

I kind of expected going into this that since most of the female costumes in GoT involve a long vertical line, that most of what we would see were D/SD/FN lines. There was a little SN and G sprinkled in there too in what I saw here. Please correct me if you think I have any of these wrong!

I don't think I saw a single R costume here because of the long lines of most of the costumes but you can definitely see a huge contrast in how her face is flattered when she wore costumes with softer types vs the dramtic/flamboyant types.

I've been thinking about some of my favorite summer albums and there are a couple that I don't see talked about nearly enough. No Doubt's Rock Steady is easily one of those all-time classic albums for me.

There are some who see it as No Doubt's pop sellout era, and it is easily their most pop friendly album, but it's still a sonically innovative, experimental, and diverse pop-rock album. (Plus, No Doubt were always a pop band, let's be real.)

It took their trademark ska-punk/pop-rock sound and introduced elements of reggae, dancehall, new wave, synthpop, and electronic rock into their sound, with more light-hearted lyrical themes. All in all, it's a perfect summer album and one of the most influential albums of my childhood. I still have memories of the summer of 2003 when I got this album, swimming outside with my cousin listening to it, or playing it in the car on the way to the beach.

Here's a breakdown of all the tracks:

1. Intro

I love how this acapella interlude gives us just a little taste of the title track that closes the album. Transitions perfectly into...

2. Hella Good

One of the big singles off the album. It's easily a highlight. A Billie Jean flavored drum intro, the dark bass, the glitchy synths, Gwen's vocals. An awesome track. All-time classic.

3. Hey Baby

Probably the biggest hit off the album. It was the lead single, and it became No Doubt's biggest hit in years after their previous album "Return of Saturn" didn't recapture the success of "Tragic Kingdom" and had only moderately successful singles. "Hey Baby" is easily the poppiest song on the album and the most dancehall inspired. You've all heard this one.

4. Making Out

William Orbit of "Ray of Light" fame produced this one. Such a good jam. Gwen's sexy and cool af vocals with the synths. And the instrumental breakdown before the bridge is just pure ear candy.

5. Underneath It All

Another big hit off the album. What I remember most about this song was the video with tons of iconic Gwen outfits, with Gwen wearing less and less makeup with each outfit. I love the summery reggae beat, drums, and the crunchy guitar that appears in the final chorus. This is a super sweet love song. Although, knowing what we know about Gavin Rosedale now... it makes you read this song completely differently. Like, have you ever listened to the lyrics of this song? It's basically saying: "Underneath all these giant red flags, you're pretty great!"

There's also this line: "And when it's

Has anyone been able to find the No Doubt - Icon Walmart Exclusive for $15? I have been to many local Walmarts in Georgia, and have not been able to find it!

Has anyone had any luck with this album?

Personally I feel this album is very under rated what are your thoughts?

Based on this article there’s no doubt in my mind that Toornst Hulpft is a stand in for Dave Grohl.

“Josh Homme is up to something, and it apparently involves Dave Grohl and ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons.” Billy Gibbons explicitly said in the press that he was recording with Dave and Josh and claimed it was a QOTSA record coming out around Halloween. We now know that's Desert Sessions.

And...

“Homme hinted at such a project just last month, and over the weekend, while appearing on Homme’s The Alligator Hour radio show, Grohl joked with Homme about having “always want[ed] to” participate in a Desert Sessions record. “I just don’t want you to,” Homme quipped in response.”

Dave Grohl is on this album.

This is now a Coldplay appreciation thread.

I just picked it up on vinyl and WOW, this is such a wacky album! There's ska, punk, disco, funk, and all sorts of crazy influences on this record. I would be hard pressed to say it's a 100% ska album (IMHO), but it's very enjoyable.

Thoughts?

I wanna see y'all opinions. What do you guys think? In my opinion it is indeed.
