This thread is for all discussion of The Gaslight Anthem, positive or negative opinion. If you’ve got something to say about this band, it goes here.

I for one am a big fan of this band.

Sink or Swim is actually my least favorite of theirs… but only by a little.
Love this band.  Too bad their cover sold atrociously last year…

Quite possibly the best live band i’ve ever got to see and American Slang is higher than a 7.5

So these guys are definitely one of my favourite bands. At some point I will be getting lyrics tattooed on my body, but I can’t figure out whether I should get “No retreat, no regrets” or “Stay hungry, stay free and do the best you can”

Really like them.  I haven’t listened to the new album, so I have no opinion on that.  I’m focusing on other music right now.

However, I get to see them in August, for FREE, which makes me ecstatic.

Senor and the Queen is easily their best work. Sink or Swim in a close second

Lately it seems ‘1930’ is beating out ‘Boomboxes and Dictionaries’ as my favorite Gaslight song..

Love them.

American Slang definitely took a couple listens to grow on me though. I think it’s fabulous now though.

This is just one of those bands that has always had a special place in my music collection. I play all of their releases regularly and it’s almost impossible to decide my favorite album of theirs. The world needs more bands like The Gaslight Anthem.

Yes, I will. Not another soul will love you like my rotten bones do, Adam.
