Overall, this album is striking; however, it’s not stunning. And while the band have clearly made an effort to amble down new paths, they continue to do so through the soul and sound of one man.

After a five-song encore rounds things out, you have to agree that for The Gaslight Anthem, right now, business is good.

“Working with those two guys there... they’re characters. But when it’s time to get serious and get some serious sounds they’re absolute professionals."

"We’ve always been pitched as a heart-on-your-sleeve sort of band, and I think you’ll really see it this time."

“A lot of people would make jokes or doubt that a Something For Kate record was capable of doing that, so I’m really happy to hear that you find it uplifting."

Yes, there’s been a wait since Splendour 2010, but my god was it ever worth it.

You gotta hand it to the Kid...

It’s a drug bender that doesn’t climax; background music that never stops you in your tracks.

“We kind of come up with that stuff on the spot, sometimes the night of the show; five minutes before we go on we might be still coming up with the set."

"Thanks for the memories Coachella; you've been a magnificently generous bitch."

“I’m dumbfounded by bands today... like someone was talking about a band and said, ‘they’ve got a good live show’... What? As far as I’m concerned as a band, that’s all you have!”

"It was frustrating for the offers not to come in [from promoters] but we understood it."
