Aaaahhhh, that explains it

Also dinner was ready & my stomach comes first

How come is the Black Keys album up at the top

Sounds like an inferior 70's album

But that’s the whole point Finn, you ought to listen to them - if not the whole album in full at least giving them a go.

Funny you say that, the Gaslight album was ok but thought a lot of it was 80's Springsteen

At least it has a modern feel mate

[1964white]

Sorry folks, I prefer albums to sound fresh & different during the 2000's, it's just me preferring something more challenging, each to their own!

Not sure it does tbh mate.
Actually I got half way through it, and thought, I'm surprised Leon likes this.

Well there you go, I do surprise now & again

Gaslight Anthem came late to me tbh

[1964white]

Have you not followed the Black Keys' development, then? They started off as a raw garage blues outfit, but there was always more to the songwriting than retro tropes.

Attack and Release is the first album with Danger Mouse, a collaboration which has seen them move in a more complex, psychedelic soul direction. Each album is a development and a progression, so I don't think your criticism holds up.

Try El Camino or Turn Blue, both excellent albums.

I'll give those albums a couple of listens Sara

[Mick Jones shoulder]

Everyone to their own.

[The Subhuman]

About a thousand bands that sound like The Gaslight Anthem, they're decent as is the album but it's not challenging. It is catchy though so can understand the appeal to some. Nothing original here though, which is fine.. Reminds me of the Doves at times

[The Subhuman]

Black Keys are more interesting though again not really something I'd chase down, but if they have evolved from the first album or two I could be wrong. It would be a rare thing to find a band of whom the latter albums are the identity.

Don’t have time mate, my life in the last 10-15 years is far too hectic.
Any spare time is spent reading stuff on this site - far too many new threads keep popping up
