The band has been saying many things since the process started, but it’s pretty clear that there are going to be very strong ska and reggae influences heard.

A few critics have described some of the tracks as having a ”neatly updated Rock Steady” sound. Will there be any covers on the new album? No. Tom has confirmed that there will be no covers on the album, all original new material. Will there be any guest appearances on the new album? Yes. It’s been confirmed that Jamaican artist Busy Signal appears on “Push and Shove”, produced by Major Lazer. The band also expressed interest in having singer/rapper Azealia Banks on a track but nothing has been confirmed. Are No Doubt planning to tour with the new album? Yes. Tony already confirmed that the band has plans for a world tour to support the album. There has been no announcement on when that may be however. Snazzy little album guide on Beacon Street.
May 8, 201213 yr I don't know about all "amazing" talks but at least for what we can gather, it's not disappointing for me. Roll on July etc.
May 9, 201213 yr Really starting to anticipate this now after that webisode. Was firmly in after seeing that album DNA though.
May 23, 201213 yr Author Confirmed for both Good Morning America and the Teen Choice Awards in July. Two singles before the album?
June 6, 201213 yr Author oh my days. I thought Sophie Muller had DIED She's mainly awful. Time to let go Gwen.

June 12, 201213 yr PS. Sophie Muller can be TERRIBLE. Case in point: Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Catch You much.
June 28, 201213 yr Author I do love how majority of this thread is just me talking to myself. Anyway! New information! Press have been listening to the new music and seem to be loving it. I'd love to hear some pre-Tragic Kingdom ska influences on the record, although I doubt we'll be getting anything close to that. - Push and Shove has eleven songs on the album. - Tom calls 'Push and Shove' his favorite track. - 'Push and Shove' is over five minutes long; so if it ever became a single (which it’s rumoured to be the second one), it would have to be cut down. - The 'Settle Down' video will be out on July 16. - The band will continue to focus on interviews and TV performances until the album is out. - After the album is out, they will work on preparing for full concerts. - No Doubt is planning to tour in most of 2013.
June 28, 201213 yr I'm not ENJOYING how One More Summer seems to have been sidelined (judging entirely on the description of it)
June 28, 201213 yr I want to give this a chance but I never really got into No Doubt, solo Gwen was so much better. She was quirky in a way that wasn't try hard and irritating like Lady Gaga.
June 28, 201213 yr Hideous. I'm really not expecting much from the video or the album artwork. But I'm happy for the music to do the talking. I want to give this a chance but I never really got into No Doubt, solo Gwen was so much better. She was quirky in a way that wasn't try hard and irritating like Lady Gaga. Do you not even like the Rock Steady album? It's hands down one of the best pop albums of this century. Unbelievable to think it's 11 years old. It's so damn fresh.
