A collection of ten dark and heavily-themed tracks feature on this album, which is a far cry from the light and catchy tunes we’ve come to know and love.

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

"Die hard Keane fans will be pleased to know that the album is still littered with the emotive ballads for which they are best known and loved ... which all hark back to Chaplin’s trademark high-stretched vocals accompanied by tinkling piano."

For any big Cranberries fans, this album will be a treat, although it could pack a bit more punch.

There are a handful of tracks in the collection that do play to Gray’s voice and style, including a mash up of The Toyes/Sublime’s Smoke Two Joints and Sail by Awolnation, both of which embrace a more complete and suitable sound.

A perky collection of 15 covers tracks from musical legends The Faces and Bob Dylan through to fellow ‘90s rockers Teenage Fanclub and Travis.

All in all, a very fun and entertaining gig that just reinforced Bluejuice’s position as one of Australia’s greatest live bands.
