Fallon and the Clash-loving quartet earned high praise for 2008's "59 Sound," mixing Americana-rooted stories  deathbeds and a girl named Maria, old cars and white T-shirts  with hard-driving hooks and fist-pumping choruses. They're familiar images, borrowed from the libraries of classic songwriters and universally translatable.
Or, this is how the Gaslight Anthem used to sound.
"I've kind of abandoned all of that," said Fallon. "There are no names and none of the old stuff. I feel like I've said a lot of what I had to say about that old stuff. I'm moving on. ... ['American Slang'] is a hyper-literal album. These stories are coming out of my life and the reflections on the things I've gotten as I've gotten older. It's more autobiographical, definitely more direct. Not so shrouded in mystery. I'm not trying to confuse anyone with a trail of images on this one."
"I think I have a better focus on what to say to people. Now, I have a reason to tell people things, instead of crying on someone's shoulder. I just kind of got ahead on it [life], and I know where it's going."
I love Sink or Swim! Between the two, I think I prefer it more than The '59 Sound. Apparently the songwriting is a bit different for American Slang according to that link I posted.bobbyjames wrote:Sink Or Swim has become one of my favourites of the 00's

Just like Sum 41 back in the day. I'm so excited for this new record.Hentaiman wrote:Great news! Those guys are fast, they released two great albums in two years, and now another album, nice! haha, I bet Sum 41's new album will come out later than American Slang, and the Sums are working more on it.
Haha, yeah well June 15th is the date set for American Slang and if everything goes well, (which I hope it does) it will most likely come out before Sum 41's album, which they said would be coming out this Summer. Different styles in the songwriting process I suppose, haha.Hentaiman wrote:Great news!
