I almost always think No Doubt singles are good tunes (and Spiderwebs is one of my favorite songs ever), but this new song (called Settle Down) is sh!t IMO.

Sounds like a throwaway album track, not a single. Not only that, but the melody is pretty weak (some parts of it sound downright tuneless) and I find myself unable to comitt this one to memory even after several listens, which is usually the sign of a lackluster song, atleast for me.

Pretty dissapointing considering the long wait.

Yeah... I heard it this morning for the first time and was severely underwhelmed. Hopefully they can do better.

It's not bad, but I was expecting more as well. Hope the next single is better.

Honestly, this isn't too surprising a revalation considering the completely AWFUL musical road Stefani went down since the band split. On top of that, what have the rest of the members been up to since the band split up?

Too bad. The band had some solid material back in the day....

My thoughts exactly. Hollaback Girl is one of the worst songs of all time.

As bad as Hollaback girl is, her song Wind It Up is even worse.

I have to say I dont like this song either but it kinda grew on me near the end. Plus, the island vibe works for some parts of the song. I don't see myself listening to this in the future though.
