Keasbey Nights by Catch Twenty-Two/Streetlight Manifesto/Catch 22

Pros: Fast, fun ska-punk
Cons: :::

Though I discovered ska along with just about everyone else during the late-'90s explosion led by Sublime, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and Reel Big Fish, it would be a few years before I was introduced to another band that would become one of my ...

Pros: A couple of stand out tracks that pop fans could easily love.
Cons: Some times, the horns can be SO overbearing.

Preamble
No, you haven't entered the twilight zone. It's true. I, Kristina Frazier-Henry, am reviewing a cd that probably never even made it into the Billboard 200. Now here's why...

This review is part of the second annual...

Pros: Everything About It
Cons: Bah

There is almost always an outlier in the way you look at certain types and styles of music. I've always had a hard time getting into the majority of recent ska bands, despite the obvious amounts of talent it takes to get 6+ instruments to sound good ...

Pros: Excellent album (straight through listen)
Cons: none (either you like it or you don?t)

I just heard Catch 22 for the first time, about a month ago, and they have quickly become my favorite band. I am not normally one to have a “favorite band” or a “favorite song”, but somehow Catch 22 pulled it off.

Catch 22 is a New Jersey ska...

Pros: The horn lines are absolutely beautiful with great acoustic guitar playing
Cons: none

Though my musical experiences by catch twenty-two is limited I still got to listen to keasbey nights and what a magnificent album it is. The band has one of the best horn sections out there and has some beautiful acoustic guitars. Their songs are usually ...

Pros: catchy, upbeat ska music with a bit of punk thrown in
Cons: a couple of songs are kind of weak

The first time I heard of Catch 22 was back in November of 2000, when I found out they were opening for Reel Big Fish. I wasn't expecting much; after all, most of the ska bands I had been hearing for the first time really weren't very...

Pros: It's the best punk/ska music I've heard
Cons: The band didn't stay together in this lineup

This is going to start the same way as most of my reviews; if you've read many of them, you know what I'm going to say next. Yes, my dad gave me this CD. As usual. He's the man :) As cool as my dad is, I wouldn't expect him to find me punk/ska CDs,...

Pros: Great all around cd
Cons: ahhh... ummm... can't think of any.

First off I should just like to let you all know my disappointment to find this band and album filed under "heavy metal" on epinions. Perhaps someone should have listend to it before that poor poor mistake was made.

I don't like ska...

Pros: Use of insturments, lyrics, drums!
Cons: None

Catch 22 Keasbey Nights is the best ska Cd I've ever heard. This Cd was released back when all seven members when in the band. All of the songs on this Cd are awesome. About 3 months ago I got a chance to see them live in Austin, Tx and they put on...

Pros: Catchy Lyrics, great songs
Cons: eventually after the 100th time of listening to it you will have to take a break

I heard about Catch 22 through my friend who is Mr. Punk/Ska - your "hardcore Joe". I am glad he introduces me into great music such as this band, and album. It was well worth listening to him.

Catch 22 is a ska/punk band...

Pros: Probably the best ska you'll ever hear
Cons: Catch-22's lead singers tend to quit the band a lot

Catch-22 is one of the most talented bands around, and this album clearly reflects it. With excellent lyrics, horns and overall feel, there is no way one could not love this CD. Some of the band's best and most popular songs ("Keasbey Nights", "Dear...

Pros: Great horns, catchy(pardon the pun) guitars and drums
Cons: Some songs sound the same

I first heard about Catch 22 a few years ago, through a friend who played the last track, 1234 1234, for a school project. Needless to say, I was impressed. I went out the next day and purchased the cd, figuring that I at least knew one song was good...

Pros: Has amazing talent
Cons: songs will get stuck in your head.

It'll started back in March of '99, on my birthday, when my brothers friend decided to get me this album from the 'zine he worked at. I got home to listen to it, and my ears were rejoicing. I loved it.

The musicallity of the whole album is...

Pros: Everything on this album kicks.. you know.
Cons: Welll, i can't think of any. I'm sorry :)

I have been a fan of Catch 22 for about 3 years now, they were at the first ska show of my life! And i have seen them get better and better and better over the years.The departure of the original lead singer is a disappointment to me.
Nevertheless,...

Pros: Great talent
Cons: Maybe too good (its suspicious)

Keasbey Knights is probably the best cd i have ever listened to. It's varying styles of songs, fast paced rhythms, and talented execution all come together to make a cd that has been unsurpassed in greatness. Too bad dinosaur sounds is no where close to being as good as this cd.
