Sleeping with Sirens is talented enough that any songs they record sound compelling. The best song on Gossip is arguably the confident, dynamic and energetic “Empire to Ashes.” This is the most political the band have ever been, and the lyrical imagery is more sophisticated than in previous songs. On “Trouble,” the band seamlessly integrates pulsing percussion with a smooth, groove-heavy melody. “Trouble” is the most ambitious and experimental song-and it works, it shocks, it wins you over. The louder rock songs, including, “Trouble,” “Cheers” and “Empire to Ashes” are the highlights of the album. There's not a single screamed vocal on the album, although the bridge of “Chase” comes close. Gossip is split between riff-heavy, Royal Blood-esque rock–and–roll songs and a set of acoustic–driven radio ballads. The band has gone in a slightly different direction, but hasn't gone far enough. Its follow–up, Gossip, which still echoes the style of Madness, does not do as much or do it as well. The band successfully incorporated pop sensibilities into hard–hitting rock. The precursor to this year’s major label debut Gossip, 2015’s Madness was a fully realized, diverse and cohesive album. After making an album that firmly cemented them as a post–hardcore band, their sound has been inching towards a more pop–influenced rock style. What a waste.It seems like everything Sleeping with Sirens does is a departure from their debut album, 2010’s With Ears to See and Eyes to Hear-if you believe they’ve “sold out,” it would be hard to pinpoint exactly when they did. Closer, Hole In My Heart, and the title track. A bit shallow musically, but passable as something I could listen to in the future and still think it holds up. There's maybe 3 songs that I think sound decent. This easily could've been a Kellin Quinn solo album with a studio band and a ton of help from a producer
and the rest of the album feeling like billboard top 200 alt/indie rock trash, devoid of any passion. It feels like 1/4th of the album I could see being a natural progression of SWS. I tried, I listened to it a handful of times already front to back, hell I'm even hoping that the 2 bonus songs could make me think, "huh, not that bad of an album" but man, these song are some of the most cliche, watered down versions of SWS songs to date, with little to no redeeming qualities. Gossip is extremely disappointing and following every single up to it's release date has been like watching the slowest car crash and being in denial of it happening. Feel is a pretty forgettable album but it's still decent, and I loved madness albeit very soft and poppy all things considered. Lets cheers to this is a fantastic album. I'm extremely forgiving of musicians and like to constantly give the benefit of the doubt when it comes to artistic decisions. I'd like to think I'm pretty open minded. I'm very lenient on bands changing their sounds now a days and usually stay loyal from when I find a band that I like. Wanting to arrange an AMA?
