C/D : The Gaslight Anthem

btw is there a better band to listen to drunk by yourself? i say no

btw h00s otm american slang is the best album. the new solo reminds me a lot of it.

this is a little crazy imo. "59 sound" is one of my favorite albums ever

tw no idea if anybody else has heard this or loves it like i do, predicting hatred from obvious quarters, but this fuckin kills me

btw hoos you were on point with this post because this is a sick cover

tdlr this band fucking rules and no one cares

i listened to their whole catalog again just the other day. the new solo album is not as good as the band work but it has its moments

i'm listening to the "b-sides" on spottily and yes i am drunk

EVERY WORD HANDWRITTEN

i miss 2009-2010 ILX where are the bros posting about this band

they mostly rep for carly rae now

k3vin my man i am feeling u 4 all time

first 3 songs on HANDWRITTEN (‘45’ -> ‘handwritten’ -> ‘here comes my man’) are still 10/10 classic and worthy follow ups to the 59 sound

Agreed, but it's all downhill from there, sadly. Although Fallon's solo album is pretty great IMHO

“The Blue Dahlia”, from the deluxe edition of ‘Handwritten’, is pretty good too.

Loved the Horrible Crowes album when it came out but haven’t listened to it much lately.

I like the title track from Get Hurt very much tbh

I keep meaning to go back to Get Hurt and wrestle something likeable out of it but I flashback to the visceral dislike I had at first listen and don't do it. Maybe I'll try again tonight.

The solo album was as best as I can remember about as good as a good Gaslight Anthem album.

yeah the solo album is good

Huh, I guess Fallon has a new solo album out. Sounds like you'd expect/want it to sound.

I like this one too. he's in fine voice.

plus i think they know no matter how big they get The 59 Sound is gonna be the record that they need to give people a certain amount of songs from every night.

some headlines have it as "gaslight reunion" bcz they haven't played live together since 2015

Tbf, after 5 albums in 7 years, three years of indefinite hiatus might as well be 30.

I adore how shamelessly, earnestly corny/cliched this album is. Great tunes, though. Probably his best batch since "'59," or at least "American Slang."

I guess he says not to expect another Gaslight album, but really, this is close enough.

huh, i suppose i'll have to take a listen

i'd sorta been figuring they'd revive in 5-6 years going Back to Basics

halfway through and this is solid

Is there any songwriter who references other songs (and songwriters) as much as Brian Fallon? I've been listening to "Sleepwalkers" a lot lately, and from song titles to song lyrics, even names of other artists, this guy is just constantly breaking the fourth wall.

i hate this guy/band so much that i can't even really explain it

if he really loved NJ/bruce/the working man he'd tattoo his face about it

wah oh oh

absolutely exhausted by craig finn but his every bathtub fart remains better than this

whoa oh ah oh

When did "gaslighting" -- as deception -- enter the common lexicon?

Past few years, so several decades after James Redd saw both film versions of Gaslight.

quite the the thread revive.

love this band, mookieproof is now my mortal enemy sorry
