Fresh off their first album in five years, "Return of Saturn," Gwen Stefani and her No Doubt pals are crisscrossing North America this summer to spread their infectious ska-tinged pop-punk sound.

But Stefani, at 30 no longer "Just a Girl," is exploring ever-more-mature musical topics as she bounces around those stadium stages. "It takes Saturn 29 years to orbit the sun, and No Doubt's new album refers to the idea that it takes that long for individuals to understand themselves," notes Sarah Quelland of Metro San Jose.

Adult issues mixed in with the band's trademark high-energy performances? Sounds like a not-so-guilty pleasure to us.
