It appears The Gaslight Anthem’s Brian Fallon will make a guest appearance on the new record.

I can't wait until we get Brian's description of the new album that's later proven to be inaccurate:

"It's like Frank Zappa harmonizing with the Beach Boys and being backed by Def Leppard (but with RUN DMC as the rhythm section.)"

At this rate, I feel like he's not gonna say anything till the first single comes out haha

I don't think they'll go that route again, I feel that Handwritten was very much in that musical direction.

Will update if anything is posted.

Nothing relevant to the recording of the new record or Nashville related was posted.

I said any stores or out on the town stuff in Nashville I would include.

Yeah, a while ago. It's Mike Crossey, who produced Arctic Monkey's Favorite Worst Nightmare and he worked a lot on Jake Bugg's first album.

Great stuff. It actually kind of reminds me of the new Hold Steady album.

God, it's so good. I cant wait to hear the rest.

wasn't expecting something this 'forward punching' after "halloween" and "this is where we part".
But man, this is ACE!!

Today I quit the US Army...

Obviously needs it's own post. Sounds from the studio

Sounding good.

Do you think those are lyrics, or is it just something that I don't know the context of?

Praying those are lyrics because that would mean Brian's branching out into storytelling rather than just writing about himself and his experiences, which he previously said is all he can do

Yeah if "Today I quit the US Army" is a lyric then there's no way I'm not loving this album. Shit's gonna be good

Jesus. I need to hear that entire song instrumental. It sounds so frickin beautiful.

See I was thinking the opposite. If that's a lyric, I'm waiting for the Springsteen comparison's to increase, which would be a step backwards. Honestly though, this is not enough of anything for me to really form an opinion. I've got my fingers crossed for 90 second clips like we heard in the "making of handwritten" video that got out before that album.

EDIT: Not that that lyric could only be considered Springsteen-y, I can think of several others right off the top of my head, but you know people and their love of making this comparison (the hypocrite says as she makes the comparison herself).

I'm hoping that's a lyric as well. Incidentally, Handwritten (the song) got even better for me when I chose to ignore the "story of a record" backstory that the video presents and decided it was about a soldier in the heat of battle writing back home to his sweetheart.

Just re-read the lyrics with that in mind and you're absolutely right. Makes it way better. (I always thought the "story of a record" thing was kind of cheesy.)

Hmm, it's obviously not great quality audio but I'm not digging that super-80s chorus/flanger effect on the guitars. Makes it sound like Brian's going to be donning a bleach-blonde wig and try to fit into David Lee Roth's leopard pants.
