sounds awesome, am much more looking forward to the prospect of this album than i was just assuming it'd be more of the same

"It's really big, like Tom Petty songs played by Pearl Jam or the Foo Fighters,"
i mean this is just not a description of a record i would buy unless it said 'gaslight anthem' on it

their 'the river' obv
kind of pissed they skipped nebraska
god, i cannot wait for this
btw after only liking "blue jeans and white t-shirts" from it i've completely fallen for all of that EP, esp "say i won't (recognize)". still can't get into the first album tho
― dharunravir (k3vin k.), Thursday, 26 April 2012 01:40 (twelve years ago) link
it took me some time to get into it but i p much like all 3 albums equally now
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 26 April 2012 01:46 (twelve years ago) link
1st album is a little rough imo, but yeah that EP is great
― some dude, Thursday, 26 April 2012 01:51 (twelve years ago) link
how was that side project btw?
― dharunravir (k3vin k.), Thursday, 26 April 2012 01:54 (twelve years ago) link
horrible

Given that The '59 Sound sounded like Tom Petty or Springsteen as performed by Green Day, I'd say this is a pretty good sign. The last album went wrong partly because they took the adolescent rock component out of the equation so the whole thing felt a bit chuntering and mid-paced and Mojo-friendly.

how i'd characterize pearl jam & latter day foo fighters tbh
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 26 April 2012 07:29 (twelve years ago) link
no arguing it was midtempo though
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 26 April 2012 07:30 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah I'm kind of thinking of Foo Fighters pre-1997 or therabouts really.

Side project basically sounds like Gaslight Anthem.

i just think it's hilarious that HOOS is worried about a band that quoted Counting Crows on one of its best songs being tainted by '90s mersh rock
― ✧✧✧✧✧✧@are.forever (some dude), Thursday, 26 April 2012 20:51 (twelve years ago) link
honestly its just that i hate pearl jam tbh
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 26 April 2012 21:10 (twelve years ago) link
i had a roommate who owned a shelf's worth of pearl jam bootlegs
and who, on hearing The 'Mats cover of "Black Diamond" coming from my room, said "oh who's covering this pearl jam song"
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 26 April 2012 21:11 (twelve years ago) link
Pearl Jam would do a great version of "Black Diamond."
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 26 April 2012 22:37 (twelve years ago) link
Oh, of course they did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ERfV7x2ctI
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 26 April 2012 22:38 (twelve years ago) link
Huh, apparently I even saw them do it once. Way to go, memory.
Last time I saw Gaslight Anthem, they covered Lucero.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 26 April 2012 22:40 (twelve years ago) link
oh man, was it 'the war'? i kinda hated the version i saw on youtube.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 26 April 2012 23:03 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, it was "The War."
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 26 April 2012 23:46 (twelve years ago) link
did you enjoy it or
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 26 April 2012 23:56 (twelve years ago) link
To be fair the worst thing about Pearl Jam is the Vedder voice and unless they're getting him to sing on the record I doubt that'll be an issue really.
Also given how much Pearl Jam veers close to mid-period Springsteen anyway I'm surprised this is even something the Gaslight Anthem felt the need to bring up.
― Homosexual Satan Wasp (Matt DC), Friday, 27 April 2012 09:20 (twelve years ago) link
somehow i totally missed that the band finally gave into the inevitable and signed to a major last year, so this is coming out on Mercury Records -- would kind of like to see them get huge, frankly. Tom Petty it up, fellas!

i was sold 30 seconds in before they even got to the harmonies in the chorus
love the vocals mixed a liiiiiittle lower in the mix
i can hear where one might say 'tom petty' with this but my first association is bouncing souls

the record's out in mid july! whole thing'll be on my summer playlist, i suspect
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 02:24 (twelve years ago) link
sounds dope, "American Slang" was a really uninspiring lead single for a good album imo but this hits the spot
― some dude, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 02:32 (twelve years ago) link
you guys are getting me excited
― dharunravir (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 02:36 (twelve years ago) link
whoa, this sounds perfect. there's a tone to his voice i haven't heard before from him - there's this emotional urgency that's implicit in all his songs but never really released like this
― dharunravir (k3vin k.), Sunday, 6 May 2012 03:59 (twelve years ago) link
I have a hunch what you hear in his voice is him in the hands of a capitol P producer, but hopefully Brendan O'Brien will be pretty sympathetic throughout.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 6 May 2012 04:12 (twelve years ago) link
is ted hutt not a capital P producer
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 6 May 2012 05:15 (twelve years ago) link
i mean i know brendan o'brien is big shit poppin and all i'm just not sure i understand the distinction
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 6 May 2012 05:17 (twelve years ago) link
Well, Hutt has stuck pretty much within the same range - blue collar punk/pop-ish stuff, with the occasional horns in Lucero or I guess the Bosstones (right?). But Brendan O'Brien has produced several huge, arena-filling bands with a much bigger, wider musical range. He seems like a go-to guy when a band wants to make a step up. Hutt seems like the Side One Dummy in-house guy.
