Album Notes
A kind of classic rock that you'd hear on classic-rock radio if there was any justice in the world, Gaslight Anthem's THE '59 SOUND is a down-to-earth gem that touches on the big-hearted rock of their fellow Jersey boy Bruce Springsteen and the poppy, put-together side of the Replacements. With cool, echo-laden production that hints at rockabilly bounce, and a guitar sound that shimmers like moonlight on the hood of a car, songs like "Old White Lincoln" and "Casanova Baby" speak for the young romantic in every town. They called it THE '59 SOUND, but it's really pretty timeless.
Editorial Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- Fallon's lyrics continue to embrace the Americana ethos that is successfully married with a soulful punk sound as timeless as the sentiments that inspire him.
Alternative Press
4 stars out of 5 -- [They] blast out affecting, soulful punk rock strewn with bittersweet memories of small-town, blue-collar America.
Q
Ranked #2 in Kerrang's Best Albums Of The Year 2008 -- [O]ne of the hottest rock bands of the year.
Kerrang
If you've ever felt love's sting, ever wished a summer would never end or ever felt hopes and promises crumble into dust, hearing THE '59 SOUND might just have the same effect on you.
