Much anticipated follow up to what I found to be a bit boring, previous album “American Slang”. Featuring 14 new songs and a cover of Nirvana’s ‘Sliver’ if you get the deluxe edition or simply 12 new songs otherwise. Lead in single, the very catchy “45” received a lot of airplay and set the stage for what is to follow. First listen and I was tapping along straight away to the catchy “whoah oah” choruses on the more upbeat songs on here that really make this album. There are a few slower numbers, which bop along and are kept interesting, but I really find the strength to Gaslight’s music is when they quickening things up a touch. Sure it’s no “Sink Or Swim” but hey, what is? Big improvement on their last effort and overall a really listenable album.
