The Gaslight Anthem - History Books (October 27th 2023) Album • Page 44

It’s the first album I’ve immediately hit play again the second it ends in I don’t even know how long.

 

I feel like I nailed this?? lol

 

this is what happens when someone listens to too much stone temple pilots

 

Opener at 730 band at 830ish (think it was like 835)

i also quote tweeted the wrong thing because I am violently hungover

 

It's time, see you in about 40 minutes

 

Fact I was immediately singing the riff in Autumn is very encouraging (it's a song I skipped on release) - I absolutely love this so far

 

Morning coffee on a cold Chicago morning as my two kids absolutely destroy the living room with this album on is perfect.

 

Just bridged the sleep gap between waking at 4:30 to walk the dog and 7:15 to start the coffee. Can't wait to throw on my coat and go for a walk today in the fresh fall chill while listening to this.

 

Immediately had to run back Michigan, 1975

Holy fucking shit that's a song and a half

 

It's definitely one of the best songs they've written.

 

I built the rooms of this house to stand ground

(YEEEEEAH)

 

I don't think the production is particularly egregious or offputting in context

 

I Live in the Room Above Her is SO fucking good. I love heavier Gaslight, they don't do it too often but it absolutely clears Stay Vicious and the likes

 

I like Stay Vicious but not to the level that I'd want it regularly. Plus it was the wrong opener anyway

 

Just finished

Don't really think Preludes works that well as a closer but it's a great song, all hits on this one. So happy they're back at it.

 

I went to the first show on the 59’ Sound Anniversary tour which was in DC and it was so jarring thinking and expecting they would start with Great Expectations and all the sudden Stay Vicious kicks in. You could feel the room ready to explode with excitement … and everyone was so taken back to start lol

 

I think one show I went to they opened with Mae which was odd but also awesome lol

 

i love preludes hah

 

Totally

 

I think my anniversary show opened with "Handwritten."

 

i saw them in may and 45 was the opener

 

Honestly why wouldn't you open with that if you could, it's pure adrenaline

 

Good show last night, surprised only 3 new songs played. Couple got engaged on stage and we got the usual fun Brian banter.

 

Yeah they opened with 45 at riot fest and it absolutely went off

 

I saw them in August at four chords fest and they opened with American Slang. Saw them last September and they opened with have mercy.
