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?

Judging by how well they execute this pop/rock hybrid sound, Gossip is a risk that paid off.Post-Hardcore is a genre of music that developed from Hardcore Punk, itself an offshoot of the broader punk rock movement. It's the mature final statement on a daring record that marks a new stage for the band. As ever, the singular element that marks it as a Sleeping with Sirens album is frontman Kellin Quinn's glorious tenor, which is pushed to new heights - singing, not screaming - on highlights like "Trouble" and "I Need to Know." Elsewhere, the quintet opts for uplift and optimism, like on the overwhelmingly motivational "Legends" and the defiant punk rock send-up "Cheers." Gossip ends on the powerful "War," which sounds more like a U2-sized arena singalong by way of a worship band than that of a mainstay on the Warped Tour. While there were subtle hints of this evolution on Madness, Gossip is bound to be divisive for fans of their older material ("Empire to Ashes" is the heaviest they get on this set). From post-hardcore blight to a now glossy sheen, the group followed a similar path as contemporaries like All Time Low and PVRIS, whose 2017 offerings also set their sights on the mainstream. Their fifth effort and major-label debut is a streamlined pop offering that says goodbye to angsty screaming, cursing, and the raucous assault that defined their first four albums. Just two years after the release of the rocking Madness, Sleeping with Sirens returned as an almost different band on Gossip.
