Fuck...I sure hope so. I really want this to top 59 Sound but that record is so damn good I'm not sure if even these boys can.

Believe me -- I'm going to be pushing for this. I will be sure to keep everyone up-to-date on any cool possibilities.

Yes, yes, yes. Cannot fucking WAIT for AS to drop...

If this shouldn't be posted, I'll delete it.



Nah, I just saw that on one of the gaslight forums I visit once in awhile

Okay thanks man. And I wouldn't recommend leaving that link there. Not sure what the AP policiy is though...I PM'd it to the guy who asked. People can google it and find it pretty quickly.

It's a cool song...but did anyone else notice it has the same annoyingly slow drumbeat as "American Slang"? Still, super-stoked for this to drop....in two months.

By the way, thanks for telling me to go listen to Ryan Adams' Gold the other day. I actually bought it on vinyl yesterday, and it is quickly becoming one of my favorite albums. Good shit, dude.

glad i could help you find something you like. 90% sure you've heard of wilco's "yankee hotel foxtrot," but if you haven't, please check that out. you'll love it as well.

Yeah...I agree with that. I think the album should still be good though. We'll see. I feel like a need a full album to really judge.

Haha...yeah that's already one of my all-time favorite albums. Thanks though. Being There is great as well.

Ah. You bitch. Would kill for a copy. Literally.

Then again, we've seen Against Me, Coheed & Cambria, Deftones and Thrice all leak months in the advance this past year.

So, yeah haha

No way was Ups & Downsizing anywhere near as anticipated as American Slang.
Columbia's protection of My Dinosaur Life, however, was quite impressive.

Seriously, what's up with the hate for this song? Personally I like it a whole lot...I think it's a great closer for the album. Sure it's not "The Backseat," but "American Slang" is no "The 59 Sound." I think it works. I think everything on this record works except the first five seconds of "Boxer" and that boring-as-fuck slow drumbeat that pops up on the title track and some other places. And I've even kind of come to terms with that.

And ya, I still don't know what I think about the beginning of "Boxer," but other than the beginning the rest of the song is great.

Alright. I gotcha. Personally, I still think it's a good closer. Sure they have better...but you can't have it all. I might like it better than "Red at Night" though, just because that song is so close to the one I have posted below, which I have known for much longer.

Oh, don't get me wrong."Boxer" is probably my favorite song on the album.

I noticed this too. I do like the general guitar style though.
