Reviews
Reviewer Thomas Pilgrim ruled on plattentests.de: " ( Gossip ) drive way continue her playing with gender roles. In the album title, which of course was deliberately chosen and wisely. In the long-drawn chorus of " Men in love", which a little later about both chubby cheeks grinning "with each other" follows. And a good laugh, the band has always given the twelve more or less flawless hits that they planted with this album in the landscape. Cool, unpretentious, functional slimmed down. "
