No Doubt returns with
by Douglas Smith
features co-editor
This past week No Doubt
reappeared on the music charts after
a five-year hiatus. The group
released Return of Saturn, a 14-song
disc with a new edge. The traditional
ska songs that many No Doubt fans
are used to have faded for a pure rock
sound.
“Ex-Girlfriend” was the first single
released off of the album. Many fans
may remember the first performance
of the song on MTV’s New Year’s
Eve show. This performance made
the anticipation grow, as the album
would not come out for over four
more months. However, many may
not realize that the song is about lead
singer Gwen Stefani’s current hubby,
Gavin Rossdale of the group Bush.
They had actually gone through some
tough times in the past months before
reconciling things and getting back
together. Some fans may think the
song is actually about bassist Tony
Kanal, who had a relationship with
Stefani years back. The songs about
Kanal can be found on No Doubt’s
last album, Tragic Kingdom.
The latest single was officially
released on Tuesday. “Simple Kind
of Life” deals with a simple
relationship that results in a happy
family. Stefani sings, “I always
thought I’d be a mom. Sometimes I
wish for a mistake. The longer that I
wait, the more selfish that I get. You
seem like you’d be a good dad.”
This theme is sung throughout the
album as Stefani herself wrote many
of the songs on Return of Saturn. The
motivation for wishing to be part of
a solid family can be from Stefani’s
most recent birthday. She recently
turned 30 years old, so she seems to
be questioning her life as though
there is much that she is missing. In

“Magic’s in the Makeup" she
questions who exactly she is. She
seems to be searching for a meaning,
but the exact question she is asking
is not known.
Other songs on the album include
“Marry Me” and “Bathwater.” The
first is self-explanatory and
“Bathwater" follows the “Ex-
Girlfriend” mold of a bitter
relationship. Obviously Stefanihad
a lot of input when it was time to sit
down to write new material.
The ska influence of old No Doubt
is still existent, but the real ska touch
is not heard in a song until the fourth
track of the album. Many ol lhe songs
carry a somber beat or just a pure rock
mood. “New,” off the Go
Soundtrack, is possibly the most
upbeat song on the album with a
rather fast beat. This could possibly
be because the soundtrack came out
a year ago before the other songs on
the album were constructed.
There was a time in the past two
years after three consecutive years of
touring that the band contemplated

calling it quits. The drummer, often
naked Adrian Young, was the
calming force in the whole situation.
He kept the atmosphere calm and it
allowed No Doubt to get back into
the studio. They have now been
toeether for the past thirteen years.
No Doubt is scheduled to tour
again this summer and has conducted
a few shows for the promotion of
their record. They are scheduled to
appear at the I.C. Light Amphitheater
in Pittsburgh on June 29 with Lit.
Return of Saturn is a wonderful
album and No Doubt seems to be
soaring back to its status as a shining
group. The tone of the album is
wonderful and shows Stefani is no
longer “Just A Girl."
