MojoAug 20, 2014Get Hurt proves the balance between The Gaslight Anthem's Springsteenesque heroism and their punk fire is key to keeping them from tumbling into the trite. [Sep 2014, p.88]
-
Aug 15, 2014Breaking away from their by now trademark South Jersey, cruising with the radio on brand of punk rock that first got them noticed, the band is likely to alienate some early fans with Get Hurt. In doing so, however, The Gaslight Anthem is doing much more to preserve the band in the long run, evolving at a steady, but satisfying clip.
-
Aug 12, 2014The band has framed Get Hurt as a shift in its Springsteen-meets-Replacements sound, but they're overselling things a tad: only a couple of songs, like the title track, truly feel all that different from their last couple of records.
-
Aug 11, 2014The music on Get Hurt is broader and more muscular. It feels like music made from the outside in, not the other way.
-
Aug 11, 2014It’s a good record, just one unlikely to ignite the true love its predecessors did.
-
Aug 5, 2014That’s not to say that Get Hurt isn’t a good album, with some excellent songs on it. But, if you’re looking for more of the blue collar punk of the band’s early years, you might initially be underwhelmed by what it has to offer.

UncutAug 5, 2014Excessive emoting is unfortunately typical of the record's exhausting inclination toward overwrought histrionics. [Sep 2014, p.74]
-
Under The RadarSep 5, 2014Ultimately the result is varying from a group known for its tightness and intricacy. [Sep/Oct 2014, p.81]
-
Aug 13, 2014The verbal intensity and reaching for the back rows attitude seldom pauses long enough for the listener to catch their breath.
-
Aug 13, 2014Get Hurt is the most brooding, ashen release yet, and not quite with their usual sombre charm.
-
Aug 18, 2014Get Hurt sounds like The Gaslight Anthem trying to figure out what kind of band they want to be.
-
Oct 30, 2014A stylistically diverse collection that reaches for the stars, but can't touch the gold standard of the Jersey boys' 2010 hit American Slang.
-
Q MagazineAug 28, 2014Get Hurt is neither weird, nor, unfortunately, all that wonderful. [Sep 2014, p.116]
-
Aug 11, 2014Their fifth album is a disappointment, however, with the 12 tracks here smoothed of any interesting rough edges and aimed squarely at stadium crowds.
-
Aug 7, 2014The results should have at least been interesting, but Get Hurt is nothing but the same old overblown rock sound with every dial turned up several digits past 11.

Aug 14, 2014A more introspective, sombre album but with the same great tunes and melodies. Took a few listens to appreciate how good it is. Currently on repeat.
