Return of Saturn
Return of Saturn is the fourth studio album by American rock band No Doubt. It marked the band's first album as a quartet. The album maintains the ska punk and reggae influences of the band's previous work, but with slower, more ballad-like songs. The lyrics to many of the songs describe singer Gwen Stefani's pining for more domestic life, contrasting that with her commitment to a music career. - Wikipedia
