The Gaslight Anthem 'Get Hurt'

Few past months weren’t rich in new releases which I would wait for and that’s why I started looking for something new, what resulted in getting in touch with The Gaslight Anthem. Honestly speaking Get Hurt was their first album I’ve ever heard. And what can I say? It filled the empty space and made me listen group’s past records.

Before release vocalist Brian Fallon said that with groups fifth album we’ll receive something completely different from TGA previous works. As you listen their records with proper order of release, you can notice the evolution of their sound and that’s exactly how I feel about Get Hurt. It’s not different but something that originated from the past, more radio friendly but still having uniqueness, which makes me remember about the record.

Just after hearing the first lyrics of the record (on ‘Stay Vitious’) it’s clear that the biggest influence on it had Brian Fallon’s e divorce with his wife for 10 years. Nostalgia, sadness, getting over the past are present on the album and no wonder...

Get Hurt is straight forward rock ‘n’ roll record with technically perfect instrumentation, which is rather universal. As my first album from The Gaslight Anthem for sure will have its special place even though it won’t be on top of my favorite ones. It’s a good record, which I will listen to in the future for sure as band’s other albums and I’m happy I eventually came across The Gaslight Anthem.
