Everything Goes Numb
: had this album for like a month now... since it came out on the 26 of august i believe and now its the 17 of september... its awesome... not boring at all... every song is awesome... and its even recorded in high fedelity sound or whatever... even sez so on the cover... haha its awesome! buy it you wont regret it.... someone know any other cd that will beat this? i dont....
 I bought this CD about a year ago and i saw them live in LA for the first time a week ago. Streetlight Manifesto is an evolved form Catch 22 during the Keasby Nights era. Kalnoky still plays very fast guitar that doesnt exactly take on the ska beat most of the time whole the horns play lines that are reminiscent of an old fashioned wind band, (additions of Tuba and Clarinet also add on to this effect). There is nothing really revolutionary from this album, just a breath of new life into the ska scene. If you are into fast ska-punk, this should float your boat.
Everything Goes Numb seems like a continuation of Keasbey Nights, which, for those of you who have not heard it, is THE BEST album ever released. I've been waiting for this cd to come out for over a year, ever since I heard the Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution, Tomas' side project. The cd progresses up and down, and is definitely some of the best ska I've ever heard. I can't wait to see this band live (hopefully soon), as the original Catch 22 lineup was always great to see live. Naturally, since this band is made up of half original Catch 22 and half One Cool Guy, they will put on a great live show. If you buy one cd this year, buy this one!
Whooo...this is where it is at. I saw Catch-22 a couple of monthes ago and I realized that their album Keasbey Nights was possibly the greatest ska CD out there. Their new stuff is ok, but nothing special. Basically, if you like Keasbey Catch-22, BUY THIS ALBUM. The lead singer of old Catch brings the old style back to the catchy ska rhythms. I love Streetlight and so will you, trust me. The song Point/Counterpoint is my favorite on the disc and it will remind you of the song Keasbey Nights from Catch-22, and I'm pretty sure is an add-on to that song (there are several things that make comments on the disc to old catch-22 songs). I love it, I think I'll listen to it right now...
Fans of ska/punk and Catch 22 enjoy! Best album of the summer. Listen and be proud to be a skanker.
