    Dear God...how am I not going to see this? I have to go. I can't afford to do it, but I have to.

    I agree. My three favorite bands of all time. It's gonna kill me.

    I absolutely love Gaslight Anthem. Seen them x6 already and have tickets to 3 shows in november (UK), however, there new stuff hasn't really blown me away. Felt Rollin & Tumblin was a continuation of Handwritten, and Get Hurt could have been Horrible Crowes. Really diggin' Stay Viscous, though having heard there cover of "Sliver" it's hardly groundbreaking

    Hoping for some amazing album cuts.

    Stream is up on ITunes.I'll say this after zipping through this album I really liked it. I think it will definately get better with more spins.

    That being said it is 100% the different direction they promised. It going to be interesting to see how the hardcore fan base reacts.

    I'm halfway through now and I'm really digging this. Much different than their previous albums which is a breath of fresh air.

    This could be the start of them actually evolving and taking it to the next level depending on how they work these songs and feel into the tour.

    Definately liking this more the second time around

    Love Stray Paper and Helter Skeleton .
    1000 years and underneath the ground are nothing like anything they ever did. If you thought Stay Vicious was a departure wait until you hear these. I like them but they are surely different.

    Haven't made it to the second half for the second time yet but I did really like Red Violins, Ain't that a shame and Dark Places right off the bat.

    The biggest decision I will have to make his week....
    Try to download it to my phone and 'half-listen' to it while I work?
    Or hold off til 6pm tonight and fully listen to it at home?
    I think I'm gonna wait...

    I have been reading things... Seems like everyone is very divided. Either you love it or hate it.
    Worse thing I have read was it being compared to something Taylor Swift could have wrote. :))
    I haven't heard it yet, have to wait til tonight, and it's killing me, can this day go any slower?! :))

    1 listen through and i like it. I'm sure it will grow on me more and more. So far I can say that i like the first half more than the 2nd half.

    I was stuck in a 3 hour meeting and did not see the email until 4 PM so bummed. I am just listening to the stream for the first time as we speak. So far so good.

    It gets better and better if you ask me. I think even though we were told to expect something different the first listen was a little more jarring than subsequent ones. This album has a lot of layers and really good song writing.

    Also, there will be another show in NJ next week. Announced Friday. Don't know where or when but not the Pony as far as I know

    I've listened to it about 3 times through. Love dark places,helter skelton, stray paper. I like the rough edges and I think its going to continue to grow on me even more. Like someone else said there's alot going on. I hear some U2 in Alex's guitar lines. About the only thing i don't like is the new version of Halloween. Its like they fixed the production on the first part of the song, but then ditched the best part when the big guitars kick in.
