Let's Chop Cats! 02-23-2006 12:17 PM

Please describe the experience of making the new album.
Making the record was not unlike chipping out each piece.

2: What took so long to make it?
Did it take long? If so it's because be are very busy. Bands make almost nothing from record sales, so we were out touring and whoring in order to pay rent. Plus some other reasons which we are keeping quiet.

3: What is the record exactly, as it's called Keasbey Nights, but no-one knows yet what the record contains.
It's Keasbey Nights. We wanted to get it right for once. Plus ? knowing that blood sweat and tears are poured into and album as opposed to paying 13 bucks for a record they only put a flashy new cover on it. This release is a pre-emptive strike, I guess. Whatever you want to call it, it will piss people off. And that, at the end of the day, is all that really matters.

This confuses me, aren't they paying 13 bucks for a record they already own? Because that is what I thought was happening, sounds like I have it wrong?
Yep you've got it wrong. If there's one thing I can't stand it's when a CD is re-released untouched sonically, with a new cover, and maybe a live video and ? kids are tricked into buying this new edition of something they already have. I was upset when I was told the guys were going to do this with Keasbey so I offered to re-record it, because I've always thought it sounded like pure garbage sound-wise. ? particularly for a band with 7 musicians to record, so we used some of our own money and took our time with this one. So we used some of our own money and took out time with this one. I'll tell you right now, we have no intent of hiding our intentions, we wanted to prevent the re-release of Keasbey untouched as well as to get the record to sound how it should have sounded originally. For that we sacrificed months of our time, and our money and now we feel what we have is worth paying for. Although, truth be told, I don't care if a single record is sold as it is, indeed, old music and kids have a right to know what it is and to decide whether or not they'll pay for it. Do I think it's worth 13 dollars? Yes, very much so, but that's my opinion. What other people decide, that's their own opinion. We're going to keep doing what we do whether or not a single record is sold.

Wow. Okay. First time I have heard it said that this is the same songs. Every time you were asked, you skirt that issue.
Whatever you want to call it, we will piss people off. And that, at the end of the day, is all that really matters.
As my good friend ? always says, you are indeed a ?, and unfortunately just don't get it. Peace out bitches.

Right so your avatar stretches the box ridiculously.

Let's Chop Cats! 02-23-2006 01:10 PM

I was bored so I chopped together Point/Counterpoint and Keasbey Nights again, this time I used SLM's leaked version.

Each piece, not peach pit...

Liebensaft 02-23-2006 03:05 PM

I liked it, regardless of what everyone else says.

[QUOTE=Crack-Rock-Steady]I liked it, regardless of what everyone else says.[/QUOTE]Oh it's good alright, just not as many differences as I expected.

I'm still going to buy it when it comes out.


I'm really digging Giving up, Giving in




And for those of you with itunes/wmp/whatever, what are you putting as the album name? I had it as just Keasbey Nights, but now if I got to play album-Keasbey Nights, it plays both albums. I'm thinking about putting it as Keasbey Nights Two, or Keasbey Nights as Performed by...

_JR 02-23-2006 03:36 PM

put Keasby Nights II, because roman numerals look cool

Liebensaft 02-23-2006 04:01 PM

I have it as "Keasbey Nights vol. 2".

Lukeh 02-23-2006 04:14 PM

Now all we need is for the new BOTAR record to be finished and some other friendly person to leak it for us

Some of the songs I really preffered the Catch-22 versions of, like the title track, mainly because they didn't have all of the band singing the catchy parts which I always love. Then there's the rest of the album which sounds a hell of a lot better than the first version methinks.

_JR 02-23-2006 04:17 PM

im so-so about the whole thing, i personally would have liked it if they changed a lot more, added new lines, whatever, i think everything was too close to the origional.

im not complaining, however

Brain Toad 02-23-2006 04:26 PM

I'd rather have a new album then this, personally.

Liebensaft 02-23-2006 04:31 PM

Everybody would have. That was kind of the point.

Brain Toad 02-23-2006 04:34 PM

Meh.

Moon Flavor 02-23-2006 04:36 PM

No backing vocals whatsoever. And the horns at the beginning of Sick and Sad (one of my favorite c22 songs) sound like really cheesey midi. The sound quality is better, and I like his normal singing better, but other than that, meh.

Kithkin 02-23-2006 05:20 PM

The album name is Keasby Nights as Performed by Streetlight Manifesto.

Not Keasby Nights II.

Led-ZeppelinIV 02-23-2006 06:49 PM

Yup.

Brian Manifesto 02-23-2006 06:55 PM

Can i get these songs on my itunes?

When i click them it opens in quicktime. Can anyone help?

They have backing vocals they are just vary faint and not that good.

Not Keasby Nights II.[/QUOTE]

I just listened to the new one all the way through. It's good, but sounds pretty much the same. The new ending to 1234 1234 is really annoying.

"4321 4321" :p

Seeing as I haven't heard the original Keasby Nights, this doesn't interest me all that much.

So I should listen to the original first.

halfdeadhippo 02-24-2006 10:25 AM

Goddamnit, I suck at self-control. I like the drumming better so far, but I haven't had time to properly form an opinion on the rest.
