I've heard the tracks - American Slang and Boxer - they've put out on My Space:

and they've done an acoustic set with a couple more:

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

Last album was superb so i will definitely be "finding" this. If its any good i will buy it.

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.

Loving the fact they have a song called "The Queen of Lower Chelsea" :D

Will have a look for sure, loving Boxer!

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

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 :)

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!

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.

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.

Thanks for the link. I'm listening to it now.

Love it, absolutely love it.

Love it, absolutely love it.

Agreed, listened to it maybe 4 or 5 times now since yesterday and it's absolutely brilliant.

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.

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.
