|  | Not Quite on Par with Everything Goes Numb |  |
I was really, really looking forward to this album and while it is still good quality, it is just not on the same level as "Everything Goes Numb." I have to admit that I'm disappointed in this album, but I am still a true Streetlight fan and look forward to future works.
July 5, 2008This is a great album. A true return to the heart of what made Catch 22 great, with a number of awesome new tricks up their sleeve. One of my favorite albums ever.
July 1, 2008"Somewhere in the Between", one of the most anticipated ska albums and it sure doesn't disappoint. From the blaring horns in the beginning of the first track, to the single string pluck at the end of the last track, this album is addicting. In typical Streetlight style, every track is fast and melodic, every track has an extremely catchy chorus that you can't help but sing along too, and every track has some of the best, most meaningful lyrics you'll ever hear. In my opinion, this album is completely solid. Though, Everything Goes Numb is phenomenal and easily one of the best ska albums of all time, there are several tracks on it that are very easy to skip. With Somewhere in the Between, it's hard to skip tracks, each track is almost habituating in its own way. Even though Tomas Kalnoky writes some of the most pessimistic lyrics, this album is nothing short of uplifting. So if you're just a casual listener of ska, interested in checking out this fantastic band, or ready to move up to whole new level of music, this is, by far, the album to get.

Until just recently, i had never even heard of ska. then my friend (drummer for a ska band) asked me to play trumpet with their band. He then recommended Keasbey Nights and Somewhere in the Between. I haven't been able to stop listening to Streetlight Manifesto since then! All the tracks on this album have caught my attention completely, but being a trumpet player myself i payed especially close attention to the trumpet feature in The Blonde Lead The Blind and the wicked trombone in What A Wicked Gang Are We. This album is a MUST BUY for any of you out there who enjoy a good horn feature or two in your music.
May 3, 2008Streetlight Manifesto is the greatest band ever. This CD is awesome and a must have for any fan of 3rd wave ska.
