The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound

Have you ever heard a song where for some reason you felt as though you already knew the words, yet it was the first time listening to the song? Well this album has eleven of those songs. This without a doubt makes it into my "top 10 records of 2008". It's different and most people "won't get it". If Bruce Springsteen and The Clash had a child it would be this. I personally think that this is the kind of record that surpasses genre's and elitist taste. It's the kind of music that when you listen, it sends chills down your spine and you can't help but smile.
