Product Description:
Although New Brunswick, NJ's Gaslight Anthem have only been around a couple years, they've become one of the punk underground's most celebrated acts. They've toured with Against Me, The Loved Ones, and The Bouncing Souls. Their Side One Dummy debut reconciles their love of classic rock and soul icons Bruce Springsteen, Otis Redding, and Tom Petty with their NJ punk roots to create a unique musical amalgam.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Best of '08
In my opinion this is the best CD of 2008. I also saw them live last night and they were phenominal so I may be riding a little high from that amazing show. I have read the comparisons to Against Me!, Springsteen, and the Killers and I do hear a mix of influence from all of these artists. I also hear a lot of down to earth originality with the lyrics. All of the songs on this album are awesome. The album flows together nicely with a variety of songs. I recommend all of their music. I think ... Read More
Rating:  - I can't believe nobody else hears this influence
Though I can only comment on the 4 songs I've heard off of this album (in their entirity, the rest just 30 second clips), I can't believe that not one reviewer has brought up comparisons to the Replacments. They have that same, hard working, reckless, bar sound from the 'Mats mid to late eighties stuff. Plus, I think this guys voice sounds a lot like Paul Westerberg's (not a knock at all). I really like what I hear and will have to check this album out. They sound like a breath of fresh air in ... Read More
Rating: - That 59' Sound!!!
I have never heard the Gaslight Anthem before but i was immediately enticed by their song The 59' Sound. The cd is a solid in the lyrics. It should really appeal to anyone who has listened to classic music like Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan, so if you like rock, alternative, punk, and folk this cd is definately worth listening to. Some of the songs are very catchy. The only reason i give it a 4/5 instead of a 5/5 is because i wish that there was a little more variety in the vocals and it sounded ... Read More
Rating: - This band is going to be huge
In 2007, New Jersey's the Gaslight Anthem became a hugely buzzed band in the punk scene, owing in part to their fiery live shows, and in part to their fantastic debut record Sink Or Swim. Now, a year later, following an interim EP (Senor and the Queen) released earlier in the year, the band returns with their sophomore album, The '59 Sound.
This album lives up to all the hype it garnered in the wake of their previous two recordings, and then some. For this album, the band turned down the ... Read More
Rating: - It's All Here
I'm seldom moved to offer reviews since I will only do so when I have unusually high praise to offer. In this case, I really do. The Gaslight Anthem is a terrific band, and this is one of the very best albums I've heard in the last five years.
It's all here; the song writing and the musicianship are top notch, the production is exciting, and the music ... well, there are lots of obvious influences here - The Clash, Springsteen, Lou Reed, Tom Petty - but the result is an instant classic filled ... Read More
