The Gaslight Anthem Band • Page 189

2008 feels like an off music year in terms of releases to me besides obvious all timers like 59' Sound.

2007 and 2009 have waaaaay more albums I return to all the time overall

 

2007 was an insanely stacked year, I remember that quite well

Jack Mannequin's "The Glass Passenger" was 2008 as well but that doesn't hold up the same way to me as Everything In Transit - although it's still a solid album. Vampire Weekend self-titled also got a lot of play at the time.

 

2007 had

Jimmy Eat World - Chase This Light
Circa Survive - On Letting Go
The Starting Line - Direction
Against Me! - New Wave
Bayside - The Walking Wounded
Coheed & Cambria - No World For Tomorrow
Fall Out Boy - Infinity On High
Hidden In Plain View - Resolution
Motion City Soundtrack - Even If It Kills Me
Paramore - Riot!
Thrice - Alchemy Index 1 & 2
Yellowcard - Paper Walls

Just to name a few lol. Wild year.

 

I remember when I stumbled across the band, and 59 Sound was their current album at the time.

I have never listened to a new album more times IN MY LIFE without tiring of it. I hammered that thing so loud and so many times for damn near a year.

 

yeah same, i think i found Gaslight in April of 2010 off a friend's recommendation, and i dont think I listened to anything but 59 Sound until American Slang came out later that summer lol

 

59 Sound


gap


Folie

 

man VLV would definitely take it over 59S for me, but two great albums nonetheless

 

VLV?

 

assuming he means viva la vida

 

Oh duh

 

your getting your Thrice mixed up. Beggars was 09. Alchemy pt. 1 and 2 was 07. Your point still stands though!

 

true, my mistake

 

Man. He’s playing get hurt tonight but I’m really over paying like 40 bucks for a not great quality solo acoustic streaming show.

 

v beautiful piano rendition of rollin and tumblin

 

I wish these could be recorded and released

 

Break Your Heart’s bridge is central to my theory that Brian ghostwrote Teenage Dream by Katy Perry. Great track

 

Interesting take.

 

Someone I hated forced me to listen to ‘59 sound because I was going to that Rise Against, Alk, Thrice tour and they were opening. Kinda annoying my favorite band came from that douche haha

 

I always wanted a studio version of The Horrible Crows' Teenage Dream cover.

 

So good. Love to hear everything behind the songs. I hope they play some shows together again. One of my favourite live bands.

 

Why is Brian trying to make me like Stray Paper... His explanation and that version of it was great

 

Brian’s monologue before playing Stray Paper there actually made me tear up lol

 

I’ve always liked that song, but yeah it was cool to hear him work through it. Also loved the explanation of that “echo” in the title track, never would have guessed that’s what it was.
