Then go either After the Party or Rented World (ATP is more produced, both are great though) and then Chamberlain Waits when you get bored of those albums. Thanks dude. I'll throw On the Impossible Past when I'm done with lunch and head back into work. I'm sure I'll dig it. ATP is great. Love it. Feel like I've been living under a rock since this band exploded. Better late than never. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better late than never. After the Party I feel is their ‘Enema of the State’. It’s a pretty great album with no real obvious flaws. Rented World is a bit darker, and a bit average as an overall album, though there’s some great tracks On The Impossible Past is their breakthrough, full of great songs. ‘Casey’ is absolute magic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know how the Dude Ranch haters feel coming in so late in the game haha. But seriously I loved the entire On the Impossible Past album. Not a bad song. Gonna give it a few more listens till I have a favorite song etc. Listening to the other album tomorrow night at work. I've been playing ATP and PUP's The Dream is Over a ton at work lately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltdown Tracker Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 On the Impossible Past might be my favourite album, from a lyrical standpoint, of all time. So many great and relatable tracks on it. Mexican Guitars probably grew on me the most since first listening to it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Their drop from On The Impossible Past into Nice Things is something. Never fallen so quickly in love with a record as I did when I heard that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like the Hearts All Gone Interlude before HAG starts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CW is more rough around the edges for sure, and at times can be a bit jarring in the change of pace/mood of songs. I like it and it has a lot of potential and charm, but I don't think the band really found their groove until subsequent albums. They really hit their stride in writing lyrics and guitar riffs from OTIP onwards, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favourite Greg broken voice bits is the part in Rivalries where he screams “hey man I’m on your side”. Incidentally, does anyone else ever look at band photos and wonder how they got Jimmy Fallon playing drums for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching the Gaslight Anthem play on his show a couple of times and he seemed really enthused on how good their performance was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not really Jimmy Fallon, just that Joe Godino their drummer is a dead-ringer for Fallon haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltdown Tracker Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 They released two new tracks on vinyl today - 'No Penance' and 'Cemetery's Garden', recorded during the time they made After the Party (so essentially B sides?). Can't find them anywhere online, anyone have a link/stream? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meltdown Tracker Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Fuck I'm so glad this band exists, they really did fill the void Blink left. On the Impossible Past rivals any Blink album in my view. Lyrically it's probably not even a debate. After the Party is also produced similarly to a Blink album. Tom's guitar riffs in the pre-chorus for Burn After Writing and after the first verse in Thick as Thieves sound like a cross between Tom Delonge and Offspring. Any word on a new album? They've only really put out two songs in 2.5 years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 In a recent interview I did to Greg, he confirmed that the new songs they dropped a year ago wouldn't be on the new album, although they kind of set the pace for the record (Toy Soldier and The Freaks). I don't remember if they confirmed it before I asked, but well... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
