Here is what I love about the Donnas : Fast Songs, 1-2-3 Ramones like anthems, lyrics that make me smile, tight guitar sound, all their releases up to 'Spend the Night'.
Here is what you get on Gold Medal : Mid-Tempo Songs and thin 70's guitar sound.
I think, 'Spend the Night' was their peak. The production was tight, the songs were great and fast, and the lead guitar was somewhere close to Ace Frehley. Unfortunately, on the new album, they abandoned their punk/ramones roots and deliver more of a 'Glam Rock' approach album. But the production is thin and the songs are just not as good as they used to be. This album is a disappointment to me, and I hope, they will return to their bubblegum-punk before the party is over. I suggest, buy all their previous CDs before spending your money on 'Gold Medal'.
