The Gaslight Anthem return with their fifth full length album, having released last album "Handwritten" in 2012. Lead single "Rollin and Tumblin" was delivered with news that the album would see a dramatic change in sound, which was a little confusing, as the track sounded like it was lifted straight from "The 59 Sound". They weren't kidding with the warning signs though, as besides the lead single and maybe one other track, this album is very slow, dull and pretty forgettable really. If you enjoyed the slower numbers on "Handwritten" you'll probably think this album is great, but if you're expecting another "Sink Or Swim" or "59 Sound", then you're in for a major dissappointment. This however, may just be the perfect cure for insomnia.
