FINALLY ! ... well, not that solo life was bad, it's just that the horizons that were possible from within No Doubt were much more musically interesting and broader than what happened solo.

We'll see. Bands that rise need to slump a bit for the overall maturity to ripen and come out shining in their 'adult' life. Let's see if it happens. I think it can if they reach for complexity, fresh sounds and innovations. Gwen's lyrics were always fun and I expect they will continue if she speaks boldly without trying to appeal to teeny boppers.
