Wow, this band just screams "We're from New Jersey!" The Gaslight Anthem borrows influences from songwriters such as Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and (obviously) Bruce Springsteen and adds a 50s flair and a punk rock edge. The sound might seem unique, but I really wouldn't call it something special. However don't let that discourage you. The magic of The '59 Sound lies with the unbelievable catchiness of the songs. After only two or three listens, I could remember every single track on this album, especially songs such as "Great Expectations" and "The Patient Ferris Wheel." The Gaslight Anthem is certainly a band to watch out for, especially since their next album, American Slang, is set to be released on June 15.
