The Gaslight Anthem - History Books (October 27th 2023) Album • Page 62

CRAIG

 

I was thinking the same thing. Choosing to believe it is a nod to Lucero!

 

Yeah, they covered The War by Lucero back in the day, so I'd be shocked if it's not a reference to that song/album

 

Finally popping back in to say that I spent a lot of time with The '59 Sound and it is truly fantastic. I've come back to this release again and Autumn just does not get old to me.

 

My only real gripes with the album are the way Brian sings "Fir tree" in Autumn (where it just sounds like Furrrr tree"...and I wish that he didn't go higher on "Losing my desire" in Michigan 1975. If that phrase just stayed with the melody from the previous two lines I think it would have been better, rather than "Losing my De-si-ya!"

Okay I'll go hide from the tomatoes that will be thrown my way.

 

I'm obsessed with Michigan 1975 - it's easily my favorite song on the album and one of my favorite Brian songs of all-time, but I 100% agree on the delivery of desire.

 

the only thing wrong with autumn is that eventually it ends

 

for real, top ten gaslight track

 

I agree! Those are my two favorite songs on the album, and easily what I've played the most. Maybe that's why I'm more critical of those two parts.

 

no

 

tell em grimmy

 

I love how he sings the word "desire" on Michigan haha

 

Ya think there were any songs from Brian's solo career that the rest of the guys heard and were like "Ahhh shit that woulda been a fun Gaslight Song?"

 

I think they said the whole horrible crowes record

 

STACY

 

Anyone who ordered the Tiger Eye orange one receive their pre order yet? Mine still hasn’t come and I’ve heard nothing lol

 

nope, they did send an email saying it was delayed…. But no ETA

 

Damn yeah, same. I got that email and said I still wanted it but nothing since.

I might not be doing too many preorders since I could walk into a local record store day of and get it haha

 

Also still waiting on that tiger eye preorder...

 

yep it sure would be nice to at least have an update.

 

That vinyl order did NOT have the eye of the tiger... #StillWaiting

 

Man, glad I ordered the pink one from the official site.

 

Seeing them tonight, wonder if they'll debut any more songs from History Books

 

What's that you say?

 

I knew ya when
