I've been choosing to refrain from commenting on the songs to keep my longwindedness out of the way, but on the insistence of cousin Paul and my friend K-Dawg, I'll do 2-3 sentences above each song going forward. Almost always, when someone says "if you like Springsteen, you'll like this." I love Springsteen and almost always, I can't stand the stuff at all. The Gaslight Anthem is a rare exception, maybe because they're not a soundalike artist but one who's influenced not largely by the Boss but from some of his same influences and contemporaries, from r&b to the Clash.
