2014 new Gaslight Anthem album news (pre-details)

I think Misery is one of the most beautiful songs they've ever written. And if it will ever be played live and I'm there I would probably hold my breath for the duration of the song so I don't miss a note or word of it.

Your right a near-perfect song with regards to tempo and timing. Brian must have had some awe full relationships to make such meaningful song with such heartfelt lyrics. I only recently found this song and am tired of listening to it at home with my headphones and mac. Itunes doesnt seem to have it . Does anybody have a place to download it from? please? 

I could send the song to anyone that doesn't have it, just send me your email in a PM.

The amount of times I have clicked on that link now only for it to not be available in my country is getting ridiculous

the same in Germany, I'm now in Germany for my studies and I think in Luxembourg it doesn't work as well...

you can listen to the song on here - right below the picture with dave, its a little bit to scroll down

found this comment on a Gaslight vid where people were talking about the tuning changes recently:

"...They're also playing in this tuning recently because the next record is going to be in it.
I know this because I asked Brian about it when I ran into him at our local music store (I live near Asbury and have met him many times; the nicest, most modest, and genuine person I've ever met in my life, be celebrity or normal working class citizen.)"

Most probably a lie but an intersting thought...
Although i don't see why they would change old songs because of the direction of the new ones

HELL YEAH

18!?! WOW!

Loving this FB update from today  .  

And as far as I am concerned, no need to choose ... I'll happily listen to all 18  

Still holding out hope for a cleaned-up Halloween, but that seems unlikely now. Wow, 18.

Happy Holidays everyone!  We are 18 new songs into a new record! Now which do we choose... Hmmm.  So excited!

what amazing news I can't wait for the new album!!! I was so happy after I had seen it on twitter

18? Baby, bring it on!   

yessssssssss so goooooood
i hope they don't cut out too many, i've yet to hear an underwhelming gaslight song IMO

18 songs would be ok for me too. Can't wait!

I'd love to hear all 18 at some point...but lengthy albums need to be GREAT to justify their length.  I'm thinking like Blonde on Blonde great, or The River, London Calling, The White Album.  Me personally, give me 10-12 songs that are the absolute best.  Then leave the rest for a future outtakes album or for B-sides.

The 18 songs don't necessarily foretell a long album. Some will be saved for b-sides, and some will probably not make the cut.

Don't forget, Springsteen wrote 70+ tracks for Darkness..., and only 10 made the album.

However it's good news that they're productive and hopefully the quality is good.

They started recording Handwritten in late January 2012, and we got our hands on it in mid-July. It would be good the new one follows a similar timetable.

I think it's pretty likely we won't be getting 18 songs on the new album...it takes a lot to make an album that length work (I'm the guy that still thinks 'The River' should have just been one album.) What I do hope though is that we hear all of these songs in some way...whether it be like others have said as B-Sides or on other releases.
