The Gaslight Anthem - History Books (October 27th 2023) Album • Page 36

It's out in Oz and first listen was really enjoyable. I Live In The Room Above Her stood out melodically.

I can't wait to dive in more. One thing about the production is that the melodies and intricacies (and even lyrics somewhat) seem to take a few listens to hit. I like the singles more every listen.

 

Oh, we’re ranking albums? Want a hot take? T59S hasn’t aged well at all from a production standpoint. Fair number of songs I skip these days

 

Excited to sit with this tomorrow. Feels like it’s being released at just the time I need it.

 

foolish

 

Not a song even close to skippable on the 59 sound.

 

ehhh film noir

 

Film noir rules though

 

Phaynes..

 

FILM NOIR ??????

 

The worst song on 59 Sound is none of them. Any other album? Sure, can play.

 

Just a bad take

 

im being attacked for being right

 

Shameless

 

Disagree.

 

Glad you agree

 

i’ll sue you

 

I’m just trying to find a better life for me and my own, just some rest for these tired working fingers

 

He is a lawyer. He could sue you.

 

Bad takes are an impeachable offense

 

I've had to pick my least favorite song on The '59 Sound for two podcasts, and 1) I cannot remember which song I chose either time, and 2) know I felt bad about whatever I chose on both occasions. I think it was either "Film Noir" or "Casanova Baby," and I love both of those songs!

 

casanova rocks but yeah that’s probably second “worst”

 

Ok fine. Well here’s another take you will all hate. If I had a GUN to my head and had to pick one I think it might be (ducks) HIGH LONESOME

 

Here’s another take. If you count Once Upon A Time as part of the album (I do) - that song is nowhere near the “worst” on the album either

 

And for my 3rd and final controversial take - the best part of the album is the last 5 songs
