I like it more than the first one. I like it a lot, in fact.
It totally sounded like Eddie Vedder when the vocals came in and at around 02:25!
EDIT (for the narrow minded): that doesn't mean I'm comparing them, or saying Brian sings like Eddie at all. It's just he sounded like Ed for a moment, similar vocal intonation and tone - and I'm not the only one who says that about this particular track.
Woke up this morning to an email that this was available for me on iTunes. Its the first track on the album... and I was shocked how much it changed pace/tone throughout the song.
It appears they are all over the place this album. Some heavier stuff, some of the same, and some poppier keyboard sounding songs.
Fallon did say they were going for the Pearl Jam's fourth album, No Code, approach. So maybe the mixture of heavy stuff and original Gaslight Anthem is derived from that.
Really really enjoyed the First Play on iTunes. Very excited to see them next month in Philly.... I feel like Dark Places could become the new set closer, over taking the BackSeat
still hate the album cover though...
