also, i'm quite surprised by how popular they've become, bearing in mind the sort of attitudes that people hold

I'm not a fan of this band's records so much. The last one especially turned me off with it's high-production sheen. But the Gossip are pretty outstanding live. Beth is a firebrand. Brace has some awesome licks and moves to make 'em fun to watch. Drums are solid enough to fill in the no-bassist hole.
I wish I could svengali them. I'd make 'em record the whole band minus Beth to resemble a Guitar Wolf record...really raw-punk 'em up, then make Beth as clear and strong as possible.

I agree, Standing in the way of control is a little glossy compared to their older stuff, instrumentally. But I think Beth took her vocals to another level with SITWOC compared to all of their other albums. I would say Movement is my favorite Gossip record, its the best of both vocals + instrumentals. |

I have Standing in the Way Of Control and I think it's really great, groovy but somekind of "retained" (I mean there's not many explosions, and it is really minimalist), really interesting and good in my opinion

'standing in the way of control' is a good album, but it doesn't get me as excited as their earlier stuff. when i wanna dance, though, it's a great album.

That's a pretty conflicted outlook.

Their "Standing In The Way Of Control" has been played so much on stations like Radio 1 and XFM (which I pretty much have to listen to at work all day) for so many weeks, me and my fellow workers have come to totally despise it, and this includes those who actually dug the tune initially. Comments about the band's look/sexuality are pretty tiresome and low, but I can live blissfully without hearing another note by them again.

Really? I don't have opinions about anything. I'm from Italy and i just don't know about stuff, or rather i wouldn't want to know.

that's why these colors don't run, obviously.

They've never struck me as something particularly amazing but they're decent.
