 Gossip Is Good For You June 22, 2009
The Wolf (uk)

Gossip is a band. That's the main message here. A manifesto.
br /
br /Ms Ditto has been clear in recent interviews that it's not
br /all about her. An impressive black and white portrait of
br /stunningly androgynous drummer Ms Billie gets the front page.
br /The symbolically/symbiotically cloned Paine/Ditto image, however,
br /is relegated to the backside but bears clear witness to their long
br /friendship and increasingly fruitful musical collaboration.
br /
br /2006's breakthrough album 'Standing In The Way Of Control' paved
br /the way - 'Music For Men' takes a winning formula and pushes it
br /further with even greater clarity and energy.
br /
br /In no small measure the vivid realisation of these 12 new songs
br /(+ 2 remixes) succeeds due to Mr Rubin's masterful production.
br /
br /He brings out the best in all three band members.
br /Ms Ditto has never sounded better. Her unique and instantly
br /recognisable voice (with its wonderfully wayward tendencies)
br /has greater power and focus than ever before.
br /
br /Mr Paine and Ms Billie provide solid support throughout
br /but we are left in little doubt, despite their best intentions
br /to persuade us, that Ms Ditto is indisputably the star of the show.
br /
br /....and what a great show it is !!
br /
br /From the four-square blues stomp of opening track 'Dimestore Diamond'
br /to the post-post-punk rollicking ride of 'Spare Me From The Mold'
br /( with Mr Nielsen's silly sax adding to the mayhem ) we know we are
br /in the presence of a great little band firing on all six cylinders.
br /
br /There's no waste here. It's all good. It doesn't let up for a moment.
br /'Men In Love', 'Heavy Cross' and 'Four Letter Word', with its
br /grungy synthesiser arrangement, are all standout tracks.
br /
br /Finely honed, consumately executed, elemental rock
br /played straight from the heart. Truly stonking stuff!
br /
br /Highly Recommended.

Heavy weight contender June 22, 2009

Gossip, formerly "The Gossip" return after there aclaimed album "Standing in the Way of Control" which only seemed to gain a following after the title track being use on "Skins" - following this, powerhouse Beth went on the celebrity circuit, appearing in numerous daily rags in skimpy clothing, talking about eating squirrels on talk shows and doing the various music venues with gusto...
br /
br /I feared that when Gossip finally returned with their next album they would have succumbed to music execs and would have tamed their rock roots. Thank god I'm wrong - a worthy return and worth buying the album for "Heavy Cross" alone, something to fill the stereo until Florence and the Machine finally hit the scene.
fantastic, brilliant, the best album I have bought this year. July 31, 2009
L. Broom (maidstone england)
This was my first gossip cd, after being encouraged to listern to them by a very good friend. The album is absolutely brilliant, this is the first time I have bought a cd, and loved every track. It is punchy, and exciting, and I was able to let my daughter listern to it with me without censoring it due to swearing. ( she loved it to). I would recommend the gossip to anyone, and have now bought two of there other albums tonight.
