Fuckin' A. I like a lot of the slower tempo songs, especially "Bring It On" and "We Did It When Were Young".

Found this











Brian Fallon has told Spin Magazine that the next Gaslight Anthem album will sound more like The 59

Sound, he also goes onto say "When I buy a record by a band and it sounds completely different, I'm

just like, 'Why didn't you change your band name?'"









and is not in relation to American Slang as they quote was from last week.

Yeah, but still...

I love The '59 Sound, but it edges on sounding a bit repetetive towards the end.



Whereas American Slang is more diverse and interesting throughout.



But yeah, wait and see I guess...

Look, sometimes bands are able to rehash old formulas and they still sound completely fresh, like the Alkaline Trio. But, I'm sure that whatever they make will be awesome. If not, then I'm sure whatever succeeds that will be awesome. If not, then fuck it.

I'd also like to point out that I love The '59 Sound. Easily surpasses this.

Very sad song. The lyrical theme is particularly sincere.

This album lacks the edgy emotional punch the '59 Sound had, that being said this is still a fun record, the Diamond Church Street Choir is such a good summer driving song.

I think it's cuz I loved the 59 Sound before this came out



but I can't get into this very much, and the 59 Sound is one of my favorite albums ever
