Damn, yea, guess we shouldn’t expect a gaslight album anytime soon. I wasn’t really anyway, but that kinda seals it haha. Aaaand if Brian’s solo stuff continues to be as good as it has been, I don’t really mind.
Yeah if I put all of Fallon's work together, 'Elsie' and 'Painkillers' is at the top (and 'Sleepwalkers' seems like it might be right there too). Which isn't a knock on Gaslight - they're one of my Mount Rushmore bands. But I just love Fallon's side/solo work so freaking much.
For a while I questioned @Jason Tate and his view on a new Gaslight record, but according that interview, he’s pretty spot on.
I can't lie, I didn't really think it was going to *that* long before Gaslight did another album, and I secretly hoped this anniverasary tour run would kind of ignite something in the 4 (+ Ian) of them. In that interview he seems to talk about Gaslight the way someone would talk about a romantic relationship that ended with both parties agreeing to part ways and not in like a huge blowout fight or someone cheating on the other. But definitely as a thing of that past that, however beautiful it may have been, is over for now.
Such an incredible vocal performance. From the beaten-down whisper (almost a whimper) in the verses to the howl of the chorus and then the bridge is just an explosion...god that song is a heavy hitter.
I couldn’t imagine a better day for an album to leak (for Brian’s sake) than hours before the Super Bowl haha
shocked Fallon hasnt put horns, especially sax, in more songs. i love the organs all over the album though, give it that vintage jazzy r&b vibe
I hadn't heard any of the tracks yet. I'm in the first chorus of the first track, and I'm already grinning and bopping in my chair. Good shit. Real good shit.
I obviously need to spend a lot more time with this, but this is spectacular. After the first few listens I think this is way up there with his best work. I feel like Neptune - both in it's sound and in what he's saying - is reflecting back on Gaslight. I love that it seems like he stopped trying to purposely avoid singing about the things he loves to sing about. Ferris wheels, Elsie, going down believing.
