5 out of 5 stars Great album, only a dash of what they've done........2005-01-02

In response to the review that advised people that "if you buy just one Toy Dolls album, but this one", I want to clarify that they probably haven't actually listened to all of the Toy Dolls albums. Yes, this is an excellent album! The very best Toy Dolls album? Not even close, in my opinion at least.

Consider this, if you're a fresh Toy Dolls fan; there are 16 full-length albums to date. Many of the songs on the albums repeat, but sometimes (generally) they are different versions of the song, which is great for die hard fans.

Instead of Idle Gossip, I would highly recommend Toy Dolls album: We're Mad! Anthology Anthems. It is a much better value, about 45 songs total, for the price of one CD; 15.99 or so. It gives you a much more in depth Toy Dolls experience, and twice as much material to put on permanent loop in your stereo, until you get the next album you can find.

Toy Dolls never disappoint, so if you're ever struck with indecision at the record store, you can't go wrong with a Toy Dolls album. They're all very worthwhile and full of entertainment. I garuntee if you like just one of their songs, you will be happier with one of their albums instead of most anything else, because when you buy something else, you're paying full price for maybe 3 worthwhile tracks usually. With these guys, every track is of the same calibur with the Toy Dolls flavor.

So what are you waiting for? Get out there and dig that groove, baby!

4 out of 5 stars If you only buy one Toy Dolls Album - Buy this one.......2003-08-09

Even it is obvious, that even the Toy Dolls themselves don't take their work too serious, they are actually excellent musicians. While all their albums are similar, this is the one with the best production. On none of their other albums do the guitars sound as powerful and the vocals as strong (especially the multi layered choruses). Also, they really lined up 12 excellent tracks here :

Idle gossip
Do you wanna be like dougy bell
The lambrusco kid
You won't be merry on a north sea ferry
Harry cross (a tribute to edna)
Geordie's gone to jail
Silly billy
If you're in a pop group you'll end up paying...
PC stoker
I tried to trust tracey
Keith's a thief
I'll get even with steven (steve is tender)

If you like your songs fast and fun with furious guitar solos, buy this CD and the chances are, that you will come back and pick up their entire back catalogue.

4 out of 5 stars This album is awesome.......1998-09-09

Once again the Toy Dolls manage to come through with an awesome album which I listen to everyday. If you're in the mood to escape reality and enter into the the world of British comedic punk this would have to be the Cd I would get

5 out of 5 stars Completely brilliant!.......2004-02-04

The Toy Dolls are a dark horse from the original punk era in rock music. Everyone has heard of the Sex Pistols, why not the Dolls? Because these guys didn't take themselves seriously. Instead of being surly and angry, this music is fun with the same hard edge as their better known punk counterparts. Listening to them, you might wonder if they recorded and then sped up the music, but I can assure you that this is what they sound like live.

Some tracks of note: the title track is a lot of fun replete with blazing guitar riffs. "Do You Want To Be Like Dougy Bell" is ridiculous to an extreme. "You Won't Be Merry On the North Sea Ferry" is a blast to listen to, but will make you wonder how awful the North Sea Ferry really is. "Geordie's Gone to Jail" is probably the most serious song on the album, but I take a little less seriously because I have a version of it in Japanese.

This CD is worth every penny!
