September 3, 201212 yr The clips sound okay but are a bit of a disappointment, I was hoping for a bit more variety and everything sounds kind of samey aside from the two singles. Still, if they're going to sound a bit like Gwen solo tracks then at least they seem to have chosen some of the better ones. Yeah it's not quite what I expected, all quite new wave/synthy/80s if that makes sense (except for the two singles) and quite a lot would fit on a Gwen album to be honest! However love the clips from what I've heard, can't wait to hear in full!
September 3, 201212 yr Author About to listen now, although I promised myself I wouldn't. ALMOST peeing myself with excitement.
September 3, 201212 yr It's completely different to what I was expecting...all seems a bit slow/tame (?) for my liking haha, I wanted an album full of 'Push and Shove's! Haha. Won't judge just based on the clips though I guess.
September 3, 201212 yr Album sounds decent rather than great. To be honest I've only loved one previous No Doubt album start to end so I didn't have super high expectations for this. A lot of it being in the same tempo could count against it mind. Easy sounds delicious.
September 3, 201212 yr Author I can't even begin to process listening to those clips again. Ten years. Two wonderful ('Push and Shove' borderline incredible) singles. And a Coldplay album. Edited September 3, 201212 yr by ▲▲▲
September 3, 201212 yr I did warn you :( Although a few of the more new wave things sounded quite good maybe? And we will always have the singles, nobody can take them away from you!
September 3, 201212 yr Ten years. Two wonderful ('Push and Shove' borderline incredible) singles. And a Coldplay album. Perfect summation. 'Push and Shove' gave me SUCH high hopes for this. Still hoping a listen to the full thing will change my mind completely!

September 3, 201212 yr Yeah the clips aren't great. But I'm staying OPTIMISTC. 'Push and Shove' is seriously OUT OF THIS WORLD though. I cannot put my love into words.
September 3, 201212 yr Author Some of those clips sound like the sort of music I genuinely despise with a passion. Cheesy and cliche singer/songwriter-esque ballad? CHECK. The Fray reject? CHECK. 'One More Summer' was supposed to be massive and euphoric, not that. Whatever that is. 'Rock Steady' and 'Love, Angel, Music, Baby' are both mainstream pop albums done relatively right (even with their flaws) but they've somehow spent quite LITERALLY years making this? Really? I knew they weren't exactly going to make another 'Tragic Kingdom' but these clips are just heartbreaking.
September 3, 201212 yr Author I genuinely thought each song would be WAM BAM HOOK HOOK HOOK but I suppose we're not always right. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8u2orGTvl1qd4d7jo1_500.gif
September 3, 201212 yr if ryan doesn't like these clips then WHO WILL ignorance is bliss so i'm not gonna listen to the rest and pretend this is the worlds most perfect 2 song album.
September 4, 201212 yr EEEEEEK not really liking ryan's review and let's be fair he know better than anyone :( :( :(
September 4, 201212 yr Yep. Becoming quite scared for the quality of this album here as well. And it was starting SO great! Both Push and Shove and Settle Down are *.* moments. I haven't heard the clips though...
September 5, 201212 yr Everything kindah sounds the same? It's probably just that album clips never do justice!
September 5, 201212 yr Everything kindah sounds the same? It's probably just that album clips never do justice! Exactly what I thought, after Push And Shove the rest are all mid tempo and fade into each other...hopefully the full versions will be better.
