POLL: favourite new songs on 'Handwritten'

I think Too Much Blood is one of the best track in the album and of the best TGA songs overall, can't really understand why it's so underrated. Handwritten and Here Comes My Man are amongst my favourites, the ones I still can't get into are Mae and Biloxi Parish

Biloxi would probably be tops for the moment, but Mullholland, Mae, and National Anthem are climbing.

Right now I'm gravitating toward Mae, but the whole album is fantastic so that might change. Other favorites are Mulholland Drive, National Anthem, and Handwritten, (and 45).

The fact that Blue Dahlia isn't on here is a ROBBERY

Here are my top 3:

Blue Dahlia -- even though it wasn't listed (bonus track) I think it definitely should've been included on the regular version!


Too Much Blood -- love the chord progression (?), chorus

Handwritten -- who knew? those of us not thrilled right away with the album title, totally redeemed itself with the title track. I love it.

With how much people seem to be raving about Howl, I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more votes. It's not one of my favorites so I didn't vote for it, but that doesn't mean much since I love every song on the album. I had to limit myself to 4, haha.

has to be

(45)
Mae is definately my fav and the lyrics are incredible and great for a drive with my girl
Biloxi Parish
Howl
Blue Dahlia

that is all

I went with Mae, Handwritten, Desire, and National Anthem. But along with many, I love every song on this album.

Mae, Howl, Handwritten, Biloxi Parish. Only song I don't really like that much at this point is Too Much Blood, I realized it reminds me of Shinedown and that's not a good thing coming from Gaslight. But I love every other song, and I'm with everyone else on Blue Dahlia being one of the best on the album.

My top 3 songs from the Cd are Howl,Mae, and the outstanding Blue Dahlia.Of course i was being a cheap putz and said to myself" The 3 extra songs on the deluxe Cd will be average at best" so i got the regular edition.Now i gotta buy the deluxe edition!! I seriously cannot stop listening to Blue Dahlia!!

Adding Here Comes My Man to the list. So apparently half the songs are my favorite.

Handwritten
Howl
Too much blood
Mullholland Drive
45

These are my favorites.

My favourite is Mullholland Drive, followed by 45.

That said, Biloxi Parish and Howl are only just behind. And Keepsake has an awesome dark sounding piece in it.

What I love about Howl is it just jumps out as one to sing and dance to. I was watching Gaslight perform at Lollapalooza, and Brian had no guitar on and he looked like he was having a blast performing that song.

Handwritten, 45, and Mae are probably my favorites so far.

Probably biased and wrong but i voted for all songs

Howl. No question. Post-punk masterpiece. It resonates so soundly with me. Never ever get tired of it.
(And I'm a literary nerd sooooo... )

I voted for Howl and Biloxi, but between the 2 Howl wins. Makes you want to jump around wherever you are.

Agree with some of the points already made, Blue Dahlia should DEFINITELY be on the list! The biggest tragedy though is only getting the one vote.

Guys, I'm starting to think that "Mae" is maybe the best Gaslight's song ever.

That song is an asshole. Definitely in my top 3 favorite Gaslight songs.

It was Handwritten when I first heard the record and now after 6 months, its still the same. Some things will never chance.

It's funny that often the songs I immediately love from an album end up not being my faovurites after awhile as others take longer to grow. For example, on '59 Sound, one of my instant favourites was 'High Lonesome', and now it's not even in my top 5 on that album, but 'Here's Lookin' At You Kid' is my second favourite after the title track, and I never gave it much chance at first...

Anyway, that's the case most of the time, but not with Handwritten. Other then '45', my instant favourites were 'Handwritten', 'Biloxi Parish' and 'Blue Dahlia', and I wasn't keen on 'Keepsake' & 'Desire', and that remains the case still.

Interesting! (not really)

Absolutely agree with you.

Revival!

Mae, Mullholand Drive and Blue Dahlia, even though it was a "bonus" track.

Here Comes My Man, Handwritten, 45, Howl, Biloxi Paris, Mae and Blue Dahlia. But if I had to chose only one, it would be Howl without a doubt, this song is my Gaslight all time favorite song (and so is this album, sorry ahah).
