The Gaslight Anthem

– The '59 Sound

ein hammeralbum. die perfekte durchmischung von hot water music, Leatherface und bruce Springsteen.

Härte mit wohlklingender melodie...ich bin begeistert!!!

This is an amazing album! I heard it a few times at work without realizing what I was listening to, then I was singin along and in love with it without even knowing the artist. As soon as I found out what it was, I had to buy it. Non-stop play for several weeks. For a band I'd never heard of before, I fell in love quickly. The standout is the opening track, Great Expectations, but there is so much good on here it's hard to choose only one.

It's a fine album that's for sure. I was drawn in by the excellent title track and although I couldn't find a track to top it, I was not disappointed. They have a great ('59 :P) sound to them and there isn't a bad track on the album. 5.5

Tut mir leid (ha, ha, nicht wirklich!), aber da muss ich den
6-er Ring doch gnadenlos sprengen. Ein sehr ordentlich
gelungenes Rock-Album, vom Sound her irgendwo zwischen
Bruce Springsteen und den Killers, aber was wirklich
überragendes habe ich hier nicht vorgefunden.

Zum Teil ganz gut gemachte, aber am Ende dann halt doch
nur durchschnittlich-solide Radiomusik....

4 +
