ChristyJul 7, 2004Funny how the same critics who trashed Return of Saturn liked Rock Steady more when really it's a piece of crap to most of their o.g. fans. I miss the No doubt of the Beacon Street, Tragic Kingdom, and Return of Saturn era.

SpookyJun 29, 2002There's a couple of radio-friendly hits on this latest effort but overall it is all over the place. Using multiple producers was a horrible idea, resulting in a mish-mash of stylings none of which particularly suits the group. How anyone (Entertainment Weekly, for one) can say this is their best effort is beyond me. It's such an uncomfortable album I almost feel embarrased for them.

JossS.Dec 25, 2001another pointless release. nothing new here. if you liked the no doubts other releases then you might want to give it a go. otherwise, run away as fast as you can.

Everything its predecessor wasn't: bouncy, joyful, carefree, and mostly engaging.

Sure to convince doubters and win new fans, the set roars with the sort of fire rarely seen from a group with four albums under its belt.

Rock Steady certainly isn't that good, and at times it's rather bad (usually when Ocasek gets a bit Cars). But it does have its moments, most of which come at the hands of [co-producer Nellee] Hooper...
