While the production on the album is a lot better than the original, it has a definite 'overdone' feel, along with some bitter undertones that make it difficult to appreciate. If this were a new album, rather than a remake, it might be a '3'. Stick with the Catch 22 version.

I was never a big fan of Catch-22, and that was mainly due to really bad production, so I was happy when Streetlight decided to re-record it. The results are very positive, and the passionate efforts help to breathe new life into the record. The quality between stronger and weaker tracks is noticeable, as Tomas was still developing as a songwriter and lyricist, but all the things that make SLM so damn catchy are present. At it's worst, Keasby is dorky as hell and can suffer from weak lyrics, but at it's best it's one of the funnest records out there, and contains thoughtful, whimsical lyrics and flow coupled with bouncy soundscapes that invoke visions of Latin America. The production sounds great, and I approve of Thom's reasoning behind making this album.

I prefer this over the original catch 22 version. Does that make me an asshole? I dunno.

I feel that it's a shame that you anticipate a new album from one of your favorite bands, until you realize that it's just the same album they released years ago. Keasby Nights was good with Catch 22, there was no need to re-make it, no matter how many band-fights you get into.

Well, to be completely honest, I didnt hold the negative view of this album like most others did. I actually thought it was a great idea from the get go, and hey, it still is. I think its infinitely better than the Catch-22 version. The production quality is crisp, and I dont care what anyone thinks, "As the Footsteps Die Out Forever" is a great song, and probably one of my favorite ska songs of all time. "Giving Up, Giving In" showcases the bands more punk side and really is a standout performance. Unfortunately, some tracks, namely "Kristina She Doesn't Know I Exsist" and "Walking Away" are just complete lyrical flops and ruin an excellent album.

When I listen to this album, I think of red. The color that has come to represent Streetlight Manifesto, in my mind. I will agree that this is a good album, but I can't see the point in redoing an entire album just because your previous band mates covered some of your songs.
Overall this is a good CD and not much is different from it and the original Keasby Nights.
