Posted May 30, 201015 yr 'got' it this week i know there is some fans on here, has anyone heard it yet ? doesnt seem as instant as the last one but im really getting into it. its really pretty good. thinking about catching them in Brum on 22/06 Edited May 30, 201015 yr by bjd
May 30, 201015 yr I've heard the tracks - American Slang and Boxer - they've put out on My Space: http://www.myspace.com/thegaslightanthem and they've done an acoustic set with a couple more: http://www.kexp.org/live/liveperformance.aspx?rID=31566 It's out in mid June. Like you, the songs haven't struck me the way the last album did. That was a cracker. I saw them in Bristol early last year and they were superb live. I'd definitely go and see them again, but I can't make the Birmingham gig, sadly
May 30, 201015 yr Last album was superb so i will definitely be "finding" this. If its any good i will buy it.
May 30, 201015 yr Haven't heard any songs from it (didn't even know a new albm was coming out), but seeing how good the last album was I think this one can't be any better. And as our expectations are so high this might be a disappointment, even if it's not bad. Will have to try and get a hold of it as soon as it comes out.
May 31, 201015 yr and they've done an acoustic set with a couple more:http://www.kexp.org/live/liveperformance.aspx?rID=31566 Loving the fact they have a song called "The Queen of Lower Chelsea" :D Will have a look for sure, loving Boxer!
May 31, 201015 yr Springsteen sounds as young as ever, or is that just the NJ sound. Digging aside, I look forward to hearing it, the acoustic set is top drawer
June 1, 201015 yr I just love the acoustic set of songs. Brian Fallon really has a great voice. Don't know how many times I've listened to him singing "Here's looking at you kid" and "The '59 sound" on youtube. By the way. I just found out that the new album will be out on my birthday here in Sweden so now I know what to ask for :)
June 13, 201015 yr http://www.npr.org/templates/player/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=127405836&m=127372983 I'm listening to it all on that right now, and I've only listened to the first 4 tracks, but I'm really liking it so far, Stay Lucky is an amazing song!
June 13, 201015 yr I prefer Sink or Swim to '59 Sound, but I'll definitely check out the new one. The title track seems a bit forgettable, but Boxer is ok.
June 13, 201015 yr I've just finished it, and as bjd says, it'll for sure be a grower. I'm not fussed on the closing track, but there are some solid tracks on there, Stay Lucky, Boxer and Orphans are my favourites.
June 13, 201015 yr http://www.npr.org/templates/player/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=127405836&m=127372983 Thanks for the link. I'm listening to it now.
June 14, 201015 yr Love it, absolutely love it. Agreed, listened to it maybe 4 or 5 times now since yesterday and it's absolutely brilliant.
June 14, 201015 yr I'm not quite convinced yet. It's not bad, but I won't be rushing to buy it. I think I'll listen to it online a few more times to see if it grows on me.
December 30, 201014 yr I loved the '59 sound album and i can only say they did it again with American Slang. I heard them at Roskilde Festival this year and they did a really good show.
