The most striking aspect of Gold Medal is the band's remarkable maturation process over the past two years.

MojoThey've come within a hairclip's breadth of producing the rock'n'roll riot they always promised. [Dec 2004, p.114]
-
Their craft has gotten way deeper than hey-ho blitzkrieg bop.
-
Five albums in, these ladies have outgrown their limited palette of good-time party tunes about boys, cars and getting high, and have tapped into an emotional well full of more bile than anyone could have expected.
-
Brett Anderson has always been the weakest link, so pointing out weak rhymes and the frequent unconvincing moments (she’s upstaged by the background vocals on the highlight “It’s So Hard”) seems cruel.
-
On Gold Medal, even when they fail, it seems as if that failure is a result of The Donnas trying to carve their own identity rather than just being a cute cover band that ran out of ideas.
-
Under The RadarUnoriginality at its best. [#8, p.109]
