Thanks for the great review. I love Gaslight, and having been a huge Springsteen fan for awhile now, I feel like they're the band I have been waiting for. At first I was disappointed with "American Slang" in comparison to "The 59 Sound," but the more I listened to it, the more I enjoyed it. You're right; it's not a sequel. "American Slang" is a completely different experience altogether, and although I will always be partial to "The 59 Sound," the fact that The Gaslight Anthem are growing and evolving as a band makes me incredibly happy. I wish I could have been there.
