Push and Shove
There is “No Doubt” that this CD is an effort by the band to return to its glory days. Unfortunately, those glory days were in the ’90s and music has changed dramatically since the twentieth century. “Settle Down” was the first single the band released from the new album. The song sounded somewhat comparable to a tribal chant and a combination of garbled sounds. The second single, with Busy Signal and Major Lazer, was called “Push and Shove,” the album’s namesake. This song went in a whole other direction and sounded very techno, with pop and marching band influences. Overall, the CD is scattered and a there is no theme in the music to unite the sound. The diamond in the rough on this album is “One More Summer,” which is a very catchy song next to the rest. I do not recommend this CD; the lyrics are meaningless and the music does not compensate for that. In fact, I would “Push and Shove” this whole album away.
