Title: A sampler CD?
Product review: I was highly anticipating the new release from No Doubt. Unfortunately, I am quite disappointed. "Rock Steady" plays like a sampler CD. Nearly every song begins with a sort of fade-in. Absolutely no intros: guitar, bass, drums, or otherwise. Then the song is four or so minutes of a chorus repeated again and again. One reviewer described it as listening to a broken record. I have to concur.I'll admit, the grooves and sounds on this CD are superb, but there's no semblence of a decently constructed song. Maybe this works for trance, but it doesn't suit No Doubt very well.The one notable exception is "Hey Baby" which actually has a normal song structure.I'll stick with "Tragic Kingdom" and "Return of Saturn" and hope No Doubt puts out some better material in the future.
