Return of Saturn

Fantastic. The packing was wonderful the delivery excellent and of course the music is amazing. Nothing like hearing good music on vinyl.

Such an underrated release from No Doubt. I absolutely love this release.

I am a huge No Doubt fan--so don't expect this review to be completely unbiased-- and while I love ska and ND's earlier stuff, Return of Saturn is, hands-down, my fave No Doubt CD. Gwen's writing is amazing, and she pours her feelings into every song. Ex-Girlfriend - 5/5. A great opening song with cool music. Simple Kind of Life - 5/5. Wow, this song is so gorgeous. A fabulously-written song. Bathwater - 5/5. One of my favorites, with an awesome beat and creative lyrics. Six Feet Under - 4/5. I really like this song, but the lyrics are a bit odd. Magic's in the Makeup - 5/5. Love the lyrics to this song, so truthful. Artificial Sweetener - 5/5. Another one of my favorite. I love the lyrics and the music, and Gwen's voice sounds great. Marry Me - 2/5. In my opinion, the weakest song on the album. I don't know why, I just don't like it too much. New - 5/5. This is my favorite song on the album. I love the music, and the way it alternates between and slow/fast beat. Too Late - 3/5. A pretty song, but not one of my faves. Comforting Lie - 5/5. Awesome lyrics, great beat. Supension Without Suspense - 4/5. Slow song, but nice lyrics. Staring Problem - 4/5. Not the best song on the album, but it's still pretty good. Home Now - 4/5. An overall good song. Dark Blue - 5/5. This song is so depressing and beautiful that it makes me want to cry, but I still love it. Overall, this is an amazing CD, a must-have for any No Doubt fan. If you like ska, though, check out their self-titled debut and Tragic Kingdom. Or, rock/pop tickles your fancy, listen to Rock Steady or Gwen's solo stuff, which is nice but lacking the great lyrics and music she made with No Doubt.

Well to start off with: it’s NO DOUBT!! And they don’t disappoint! Steady pumping’ grooves all the way thru. 🤩 I’ve loved what they’ve done in the past, (both as musicians & people) so it seemed as tho their hearts were still in the right place. THANKS Y’all! Good onya!! ALOHA!! Cozzie…..

Count me as one of the people who was initially if not dissappointed, at least sad that the sound was different from Tragic Kingdom. Well, trust me, this is No Doubt's best album to date...period. It only took me to the second listening to realize that the song writing was much more sophisticated, mature and interesting than on Tragic Kingdom, yet the music, while somewhat mellower than before, is just as great as the songwriting. There are some super up-tempo songs here so its not really as mellow as people would lead you to believe. What really grabs me though is the way that the songs grow on you and are enjoyable after dozens of listens. I can see listening to this one for a long time. And these songs ought to appeal to a broader audience than Tragic Kingdom, which is necessary since no band can survive for long depending on the young teen audience: their attention span is simply too short and tastes too fickle to stay with a band more than a year. I give this album a very high recommendation especially to those with no No Doubt prior experience, and especially for people throughout the 20's and 30's in age.

When I saw this was available on Amazon, I literally added it to my cart so freaking fast. LOVE Return of Saturn. No Doubt is such a great band. This album was shipped and sold by Amazon and came packaged the way vinyl should be. Thanks!

Disk ok case a little broken

Excellent album

Un gran disco de esta banda, creo muy subvaluado.

Pour les fans de No Doubt, cet album fait partie des grands classiques, un peu ancien mais incontournable. A écouter sans modération...

Un álbum magnífico y de compra obligada para todo interesado en el cuarteto de Orange County, California. Las canciones van entre el Rock Alternativo y el New Wave, siempre energizadas por la incomparable voz de la cantante Gwen Stefani y la notable labor de grupo del guitarrista Tom Dumont, el bajista Tony Kanal y el batería Adrian Young. Tiende a moverse entre temas lentos (Magic's In The Makeup, Suspension Without Suspense) y auténticas explosiones del rock más agresivo (Ex-Girlfriend, New), siempre girando en torno de las obsesiones y emociones que siguen al desengaño amoroso. Particularmente aquí se introduce una gran novedad, y es que las letras del álbum, lejos de la simplicidad de su anterior trabajo Tragic Kingdom, presentan un contenido de relieve y en ocasiones dotado de gran fuerza que convierten algunes canciones en puros sentimientos humanos musicalizados, dejando palpitar la dulce aunque desgarrada (y desgarradora) voz de Stefani en todos y cada uno de los temas como uno de los mayores reclamos del disco. También sorprende por la enorme paleta de géneros musicales cubiertos (desde el Ska-Punk y la "cabaretera" Bathwater, el rock con sintetizadores, soft rock y uso de tablas indias, guitarras españolas, pianos y violines, hasta ciertos flirteos con el grunge y el hip-hop en Artificial Sweetner y Ex-Girlfriend, respectivamente). Llega incluso a incorporar una excelente bonus track (Big Distraction) a la cual sigue una versión osquestada de Too Late, novena pista del álbum. A menudo infravalorada por haber sido la obra más artística y por lo tanto menos comercial de la banda, Return Of Saturn es el apogeo de un No Doubt más poderoso, ecléctico, innovador y menos predecible que nunca, e incluso doce años después de su publicación suena tan fresco como cuando salió a la calle. Y eso es mucho decir al paso a que va hoy la industria.

Quando uscì questo album conoscevo già da anni i No Doubt e fu la conferma che questo gruppo sa (sapeva?) non ripetersi mai. Dopo tanti anni ho deciso di comprare questo album in formato vinile. Non riuscivo a trovarlo da nessuna parte, quando finalmente mi capita qui su Amazon una copia usata del 2000, in Giappone, venduta dal negozio Japazon. Non è costato poco, ho dovuto attendere circa un mese dall'ordine alla ricezione, ma finalmente è arrivato ed è in condizioni semplicemente perfette. Non una macchia, non un graffio, suona benissimo ed è un vero, enorme piacere riascoltare e riscoprire questo album, sicuramente il più "scuro" e probabilmente più intimo di Gwen Stefani &Co., se si può parlare di intimità per un gruppo che si è sempre divertito tanto e divertito davvero, e che zitto zitto è sulla scena ormai dal 1986. Disco assolutamente raccomandato, e negoziante ancora più raccomandato. Saeki, di Japazon, è un vero signore. 10/10!!

Great CD
