I think its a good album butnot great. very consistent but nothing really blew me away.

That's what I thought at first, but then it really grew on me. I enjoy it a lot.

I have a lot of records that didnt make the top 50 on my list but thats ok. I am surprised I was likely the only one with the Danger Mouse/Daniele Luppi record on there.

Had I heard them sooner, I would've put Thee, Stranded Horse and Elephant Revival on my list. They're better than everything in that top 10 combined.

I forgot that one :(

The Stranded Horse one was good but kind of dull. I'd of taken the These Trails album over that one if either had made my list

I love El Camino. Glad it made the top of the list over Vedder, Radiohead, Bon Iver and the like.

Fun fact: neither of the top 2 albums were #1 on any list.

Color me surprised that a Vedder ukulele album made it so high up on this board. Impressive.

Few albums i have not heard of that im getting after right now. Good little list. Bon Iver is still amazing.....

For me, Elsie is just the solo album that Brian Fallon said he wasn't interested in doing. There are some good (maybe even great) songs on the album but it really seemed to me like Brian was trying to go in too many different directions on this. There are a few songs that I wish he would've saved for the next Gaslight Anthem record though.
