Description: After No Doubt sold more than 10 million copies of Tragic Kingdom, riding that wave of success without toppling over must have been a daunting mission. No sweat for No Doubt. The band toiled as national unknowns with a loyal local following for a decade before that album's release, and during that time the band members were learning how to be better songwriters and musicians. The follow-up, Return of Saturn, glides along that continuum of songcraft perfection. The band presents a cleaner, less apologist representation of their influences. They pull off some of the more difficult maneuvers of pure reggae, ground-pounding ska, and Cars-esque New Wave. Gwen Stefani, the fearless Orange County princess, belts a powerful pout, her Mae West-meets-Siouxsie Sioux vocal bravado the bungee cord that springs in between the band's retro tendencies and SoCal pop-punk attitude. It seems believable that she could stamp her foot and always get her way, but her self-deprecating confessions evade brattiness. Songs like "Bathwater" and "Ex-Girlfriend" reveal the singer's vulnerability to being hurt or dumped on, and the band's sense of humor and exploration (albeit firmly controlled) matches the songs' sentiments. This group is growing out and tightening up, and while the rest of the ska-punk surfer-dude bands do nothing more than repeat history, No Doubt is creating it. --Beth Massa

Comforting Music

This cd is one cd that you can start it off and listen to the whole thing through without getting to a song you have to skip. Each song is dark and comforting, and all of the work put into this album is absolutely amazing. Each song brings you a gift that is so amazing.



Gwen and the rest of the band puts so much emotion into each song, you can feel how they feel. Most songs are dark and slightly depressing on the cd, but a couple of them are brighter. I love this cd very deeply and I love this phase and style the band went through while making it. It's full of heart ache with some anger, and all the mixed emotions resulted in one totally kick a** album.



The time to buy the album is now, I highly reccomend it.

Probably their best

"Tragic Kingdom" put them on the map, and I love the breezy, fun-loving "Rock Steady", but "The Return of Saturn" is probably No Doubt's most artistically accomplished work. I think what makes "No Doubt" such an intriguing band is the juxtaposition of the mercurial, innovative, fleshed-out sound of the band combined with Gwen Stefani's sincere, vulnerable lyrics and vocals. Those two powerful, yin/yan forces really come together beautifully on a lot of the tracks here. While the band explores and experiments with sounds and influences, Gwen adds the emotional core by singing about lost love, insecurities and longing for family. The result is pop music bliss.

WAHOO!



Wow, ive literally listened to this cd thousands of times and i never will get sick of it. This is defenitly a cd you can listen all the way through and never get sick of it. I love how theyve mixed so many kinds of music together to really get their own sounds. Ska, Punk rock, Pop and Dance Id say are all on this album. I really love it alot.

EX - GIRLFRIEND- 5/5 I love the rock sound on this track and the lyrics are great and interesting.

SIMPLE KIND OF LIFE- 5/5 I love Gwens voice in this song and the acoustic guitars and the chorus too.

BATHWATER - 4/5 This song cracks me up for some reason i think its the intro but i still love it. I always love their lyrics and how unique they are.

SIX FEET UNDER - 5/5 I love this! Especially the up beat tempo and how it builds up until the chorous. Its a really Pop - Punk to me. And lyrics are hilarious.. kinda odd too. :)

MAGICS IN THE MAKEUP - 4/5 This song has a ska feel to it which is great they still use ska even though its pretty much dead. Tom's guitar solo is great in this song too.

ARTIFICIAL SWEETNER - 4/5 not my favorite but still very damn good.

MARRY ME - 3/5 defenitly not my favorite the lyrics are i dont know wierd but it really grows on you.

NEW- 5/5 i love the drums.

TOO LATE - 5/5 One of my favorites and i looooove the lyrics.

COMFORTING LIE - 5/5 Great bass.

SUS[ENSION W/O SUSPENSE - 3.5/5 Really grows on you. AT the beginning i didnt like the lyrics but now I like them a bit more.

STARING PROBLEM - 3/5 This song is really odd to me and i can picture savage beasts running around at the beginning.

HOME NOW - 5/5 My favorite.

DARK BLUE - 5/5 You need to be in a somber mood to really appreciate this song.
