My favourite memories of Gossip were their live shows. Wild, untamed, and with unlimited energy. Songs like 'Heavy Cross' and 'Standing In The Way Of Control' are still among the defining moments of the Noughties. And while I fully get that they have matured as a band, if you call a track 'Real Power', you better be able to back it up. Aside from Beth Ditto's predictably fantastic vocals, it all feels a little tame. It's a solid song, sure. But I am used to them putting out numbers that could destroy tall buildings when played at the right volume.
