Off The Record...
No Doubt
Return Of Saturn
If you liked Tragic Kingdom, you should love Return of Saturn. And if you
didn't, you should still love it. Return of Saturn is a supremely confident
concept album about insecurity. The extraordinarily tight and authoritative
instrumental performances insist this is a band record, one that rocks.
Ex-Girlfriend sets the tone as punk, hip-hop and world beat collide while the
mood swings from manic to meditative and back again. At a time when chart bands
risk few experiments, No Doubt present a kaleidoscope of vivid arrangements that
can still kick.
