Earnest and heartfelt, Handwritten finds the Gaslight Anthem returning with a sound that finds the perfect blend of grit and grace.

"HANDWRITTEN wears its hardcore-punk-meets-rust-belt-rock sincerity like a bandanna tucked into its back pocket....Old-school, DIY...and heartfelt..." -- Grade: B+, 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "HANDWRITTEN is Gaslight's biggest-sounding, most straightforward album....Fallon's a ferocious vocalist, and his way with a hook and Springsteen-schoooled sense of drama makes these songs more cathartic than cornball.", "HANDWRITTEN is The Gaslight Anthem's finest and most authoritative album....With this they now sound like men whose potential and promise stretches many years into the future.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "HANDWRITTEN is pure New Jersey rock, dripping urban romanticism, albeit with extra oomph on the power chords."
