About
The Gaslight Anthem’s 2023 LP <i>History Books</i> serves as their first since 2014, and the band brings such ferocity to their return, it sounds as if they’re trying to wipe away a near-decade’s worth of cobwebs in a single riff, cymbal crash, and lyric. Somber but not sad, <i>History Books</i> recalls the urgency and triumph of the band’s sophomore effort and breakthrough, 2008’s <i>The '59 Sound</i>. Singer Brian Fallon sounds reinvigorated and as tenacious as ever, yet also a bit wiser since the last time he and his band checked in. Opener “Spider Bites” shines with soaring guitar solos and a galloping drum groove. Fallon’s voice is awash in distortion, less desperate but no less passionate than he sounded as a young man 15 years prior to <i>History Books</i>. .
