This is one of my favorite tracks on Gossip’s Music for Men. Does it sound like the epitomy of angry chick rock? Maybe a tad….But I’ll take it.
Ditto’s vocals are less nasally and more kick ass than in some of the other tracks on the album. The furious guitar and relentless drums serve only to emphasize this fact.
The strange somewhat assonant harmonies that are formed throughout the cut are unreal. I can’t exactly but my finger on it, but there’s something about “8th Wonder” that makes me want to rebel, defy, and be a bitch.
Definitely a track to turn up and rock out to. Cheers Gossip, I like your style.
