The Gaslight Anthem - The 59 Sound
 

Best album of 2008. No contest

AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZINGGGGGGG BAND

I havent been this in love since I discovered Alkaline Trio.

seriously...holy shit

Yeah they are pretty ridic. Old White Lincoln might be the catchiest song of the year.

Also pretty hot live. Saw them open for Rise Against.

there's not a bad song on this album. They're all great. The Patient Ferris Wheel is my favorite song of the year possibly. But they're all my favorites.

I thought last night that i might be over hyping this album, but after 3 more full listens, its for sure the best album i've heard in a couple of years. Its like young Bruce Springstien, with a punk twist.

I just downloaded it a couple of days ago, not listened yet though. I download anything compared to Bruce Springsteen because he is a musical God.

Listen now. I dont go hyping albums out of nowhere. This one just blew me away.

Thanks to this thread I decided to go d/l it. My friend has also been obsessing over it but I never went out of my way to hear it.

Great Expectations is ridiculous. Haven't listened to the last 3 songs yet. Their vocals sound similar to the Killers. But these guys are 1000x better.

I love gaslight anthem

This album is extremely catchy.

Fantastic band...downloaded a few songs in Feb/March based on a piece in Kerrang magazine on them...blew me away.

Best fucking band i've heard in forever. WOW.

Downloading now. I hope I didn't get excited for nothing. :mad:

A couple of their videos.

You guys convinced me. I'm currently downloading the album. So far so good.

Just want to reiterate, I :heart: this band.

The first 4 songs are golden. The rest is good too. Really glad I took your guys' advice.

Not doing much for me. They are not unpleasant to listen to by any means, but I don't really find myself wanting to listen to them anymore. Not sure what the fuss is about.

I guess.
