Push and Shove by No Doubt

Pound for pound, all of these ideas were better represented on Rock Steady, a weirder, more eclectic album that unfolded at a more leisurely pace and never strained as hard for the Big Moments.

Push And Shove seems less like a triumphant return than a delayed continuation, dutifully extending the mixture of shiny pop and dancehall that characterized 2001’s Rock Steady, with little concern for either forward thinking or nostalgia. 

Push And Shove is a decent, solid pop album, but it lacks the sense of occasion and excitement that you'd expect from a band's first album in 12 years.

The album’s greatest affront is that the lyrics are abysmally bad.
