She Loves You is a great track, but I can see why it's not on the album. Don't know where they'd put it.



Fallon knows how to pluck that little twinge in your heart. His crowing on "Old Haunts" is literally haunting. Fucking amazing (Reminds me of Wherefore Art Though, Elvis?)

She Loves You might have made this perfect. Old Haunts is absolutely wonderful

Definitely a grower, but once it clicks it's really good album.

They're onto really big things if their fourth album is as good as the 3 so far

They're already one of the best bands around.

Marvelous album

God, I like American Slang more than Sink or Swim.

I understand that "She Loves You" is an amazing song, but, if I were part of the band, I would have no idea where on the album to put it without ruining the flow (unless it were to replace "We Did It When We Were Young").

i hope the new album speeds things up more often (like on 59 Sound/Sink or Swim)...

That would be a shame IMO... I think it's great they expand their sound from the 'standard' punk fare.

this is about the same tempo as the 59 sounds really.

Nah, this is DEFINITELY slower. Maybe not by a lot, but DEFINITELY.

all i am saying is maybe a higher percentage of the up-tempo songs...not to eliminate the slower songs.
