It's called Battery Charge and I'm very curious about what it'll sound like. I can't wait to listen to it tomorrow.

Positive Charge and it’s out now! About to check it out 


I’m pretty lukewarm on it. Cool guitar and some decent melodies but didn’t seem to flow that well, especially in the first half. I’ve only listened on my phone speakers so that might be part of the issue.

I agree with you. My post-midnight snap reaction is that it sounds like a Brian Fallon solo song that was jacked up and given the Gaslight treatment. The production is not that great and I wish the chorus was a little more punchy, but maybe it'll grow on me.

It sounds like the vocals and music are from two different songs.

These are spot on and articulate my issues with the song better than I could. 
 

It wouldn’t be a big deal if this wasn’t the first TGA song in like 7-8 years, but the hype was a bit higher for me. I’m hoping the rest of the album (assuming they are recording a new album) is better. I’m curious to see who is producing it.

I listened to it again twice, once this morning and now, but I haven't changed my mind. What's good though is that I've always seen them as an "album band", so maybe it will sound better in context of a couple more songs.

The album is coming out in the summer, but it hasn't been announced yet and Peter Katis allegedly produced it. It's the guy who produced almost all the albums of The National and Interpol and it seems a weird choice for The Gaslight Anthem?

Brian Fallon seems like he’s really big into the National. Some of his songs clearly have that influence in them (the softer parts of Stay Vicious).

The third song from the new album has now been released. I think this is my favorite of the three songs that have been released so far.

The Gaslight Anthem - Little Fires

It’s alright, but I appreciate them changing it up. There’s a style in the production of Positive Charge and Little Fires that reminds me of Halloween off Get Hurt. Really looking forward to this album though! October is going to be an amazing month for new music
