No Doubt has achieved a lot as a band, including releasing several multi-platinum albums (1995’s diamond-certified Tragic Kingdom, 2001’s Rock Steady, and a 2003 singles collection) and a string of chart-topping hits (“Just A Girl,” “Don’t Speak,” “Hey Baby,” “Hella Good,” “Underneath It All,” and “It’s My Life”). They’ve launched international sold-out tours, won two Grammy Awards and five MTV Video Music Awards, and were invited to perform for Paul McCartney and the President at the annual Kennedy Center Honors in 2010. Lead singer Gwen Stefani has further emerged as a global music and fashion icon. Through all the success, the band members have remained grounded by a long-standing friendship. Their natural camaraderie, not to mention the musical alchemy that occurs when these four friends reunite, is palpable throughout the band’s new album Push And Shove — a supercharged blend of ska-rock, dancehall and electronic pop that will remind people why No Doubt has maintained its position as one of the most beloved and commercially successful acts of the past 20 years.

NEW RELEASE OF THE WEEK: THE WALLFLOWERS RETURN WITH NEW ALBUM, GLAD ALL OVER

Even though Dylan Jr. released two largely acoustic sets under his own name since (The Wallflowers‘ last album), this continuation reunites the singer/songwriter with co-founder/keyboardist Rami Jaffee and long time bassist Greg Richling for another go-round of lyrically challenging, tightly produced and played roots rock and roll.

Judging from these impressive results, (Dylan) has picked up where he left off five years ago with an album that fits seamlessly into the Wallflowers’ existing five disc catalog. Whether there is anything here that will capture the radio waves like 1996’s classic Bringing Down the Horse –- home of the Wallflowers’ three biggest hits that are still played on whatever rock stations are left–remains to be seen. But Dylan’s talent for matching, smart plentiful (arguably too much so) words to chiming melodies supported by a solid, unpretentious rock band and sung with conviction has returned.

Like his dad, Dylan’s earthy style never tried to jump on any trend or bandwagon. It makes this new material reminiscent of everything that has come before. More atmospheric elements like the story song of “Constellation Blues” benefit from producer Jay Joyce’s hands off style that keeps Dylan’s lyrics clear and upfront while the band lays down a throbbing undercurrent complete with mournful slide guitar. —American Songwriter
