Gossip

Despite some great moments, there is a sense of disconnection between the vocals and the music, plus it just doesn’t pack as much Ditto as is required.

What’s left is an album falling some way short of greatness, of disposable music for pleasure.

"Guaranteed to win Gossip plenty of new fans."

A Joyful Noise is a solid collection of Gossip greatness that is highly addictive and a sure-fire hit.
