Can't fucking wait. Great review, Thomas. Spot on.

The new Thrice album will be my 99% this year, I imagine, but I will definitely give this a thorough listen. Especially after hearing it has a Please Come Home vibe.

I feel as though these things can not be predicted. I was anticipating this record, but I was not expecting it to be nearly this good.

I'm completely not surprised by this excellently written review and the score. Album sounds like it'll define my Fall/Winter, so excited.

But the TWY review was more general, and I never called it AOTY. This is the record I call my AOTY because I know it won't change.

Yeah, that wasn't a shot at you specifically - just an observation and criticism of reviews in general. (I'm certainly guilty of it too, btw.)

Everyone is a little.

Heh.

Yeah, i remember reading that review too - gonna grace us with a review of the new blink 182 album? Don't think you've written one yourself in a long time!

I had no idea Brian Fallon was doing a side project. Love GLA, so probably will check this out.

Unless Jason wants to review it, you'll be stuck reading that review as written by me instead haha.

Oops, didn't word that well at all. What I meant to say was that I'm highly anticipating both records, but I imagine I will like the Thrice album more. Of course, I'm going to let the music do the talking :)

99% ROFL absolutely fuckin' ridiculous.

Lol, you gave it a 99%? Might as well have been 100%, but then again, I don't believe in 100%'s on any piece of writing or music.

Awesome review. You're not making it any easier to wait till Sept 6th!

And although I already basically held this opinion, what Elsie proves is that it’s time to place faith in Brian Fallon. He’s proven himself multiple times over now as a premier songwriter, a passionate vocalist and a poetic lyricist. Beyond all that, though, is the sentiment that Fallon is a reason to be excited about rock and roll music. The humble New Brunswick native is playing the same music he grew up listening to, but he’s leaving very much his own unique branding on it. The comparisons to rock and roll apostles before him may never end, but the future is just as bright as the past is legendary.

Brian Fallon is the future – and very much the present – of rock and roll.

We should put a moratorium on people who don't get to the end of a review. Or maybe make users take a test on reading comprehension before letting them comment.

Comparing Brian Fallon to Springsteen is like comparing Chris Brown or Usher to Michael Jackson.

I'm sure it's a great album and believe the review, but I'm with the other guy, every article or review written about Fallon or Gaslight always brings up Springsteen, it's unnecessary. It's not Nebraska or Darkness on the Edge of Town and he's not Springsteen.

Woah. I will check this out.

I kinda lost interest in TGA and Fallon after their last record.
