Review of the No Doubt CD Return Of Saturn

The super talented group No Doubt have released their latest CD on the Interscope Records recording label, entitled Return Of Saturn.

Unfortunately, it's not everyday that I get a CD for review that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Return Of Saturn. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you've got one of No Doubt most impressive releases ever.

If you're a No Doubt fan, or just a fan of Rock music this is a CD your collection simply should not be without.

While the entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - Simple Kind Of Life, track 11 - Suspension Without Suspense, and track 14 - Dark Blue

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Ex-Girlfriend. This is a great track!
