The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound

Another album of same-y sounding songs that is enjoyable if you really are into the sound. Mining the Bruce Springsteen americana of The Hold Steady, the album is full of celebratory anthems of young love. Kind of a 80's-flavored power-pop ala Gin Blossoms and late Replacements. "Here's Looking At You Kid" is more of a late-80's introspective Bruce, but most songs sound exactly the same.
