Join the album club and listen along as Steve Lamacq plays the whole of Gossip's 2006 album Standing in the Way of Control.

The album, the band's 3rd, was released in January 2006 and reached number 22 in the UK Charts and number 1 in the UK Indie charts. Produced by Guy Picciotto and Ryan Hadlock. The Irish Times described Beth Ditto's performance on the album as "a compelling combination of Brenda Lee, Dolly Parton and Siouxsie Sioux."

The album's title track was placed by NME magazine at number 23 in its list of the "50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever". In October 2011, NME placed it at number 34 on its list "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years" and in 2009, Pitchfork placed the song at number 429 on its list "Top 500 Greatest Tracks of the 2000s".
