No Doubt, Push and Shove | Album Review

Each album also receives a star rating, on a scale of 0 – 5 (½ stars are used as well), that is visible at the beginning and ending of the review.

No Doubt returns after an 11-year hiatus between studio albums. ‘Push and Shove’ serves as the band’s follow-up to Rock Steady, which bowed in 2001.
Overall, ‘!Uno!’ Is a solid and sound effort from Green Day. It accomplishes its purposes to resurrect the band’s punk roots.
‘Food & Liquor II’ is another strong album by Lupe Fiasco that relies more on critical success as opposed to commercial aspiration.
On Rich Girl, neo-soul veteran Angie Stone delivers a consistent, good album that never quite reaches the status of a great album.
‘Babel,’ the highly-anticipated sophomore album from Mumford & Sons, gives them a solid, but not necessarily innovative album.
Once ubiquitous rapper DMX releases Undisputed, his first studio effort since 2006. He was once a force on the East coast rap scene.
‘Away from the World’ is an enjoyable album by Dave Matthews Band. There is excellent musicianship shown throughout the effort.
Following a 10-year hiatus, pop group Matchbox Twenty returns with ‘North,’ an effective and enjoyable comeback album.
On ‘Welcome to Our House,’ star-studded rap collective Slaughterhouse delivers an album that has its fair share of notable moments.
All in all, ‘Kiss the Ring,’ the latest DJ Khaled project, is a well assembled, star-studded affair that rarely misses.
Trey Songz doesn’t tread too far from his past albums, but manages to make his fifth studio album, ‘Chapter V’ compelling.
