I wish I could svengali them. I'd make 'em record the whole band minus Beth to resemble a Guitar Wolf record...really raw-punk 'em up, then make Beth as clear and strong as possible.

I agree, Standing in the way of control is a little
glossy compared to their older stuff, instrumentally. But I think Beth took her vocals to another level with SITWOC compared to all of their other albums.
I would say
Movement is my favorite Gossip record, its the best of both vocals + instrumentals.
