This is all in all a good album for any fan of the New Jersey crew, especially for those that missed out on the "Alone in the Crowd" Bonus EP. The CD includes two brand new recordings, all the songs from the previous "Washed Up" EP (Including the hidden live songs, which are now tracks), the "Alone in the Crowd" EP mentioned above as well as whole slew of live recordings!!

Unfortunately, the new live recordings are the "bad" part of this CD, the sound quality on some of them is mediocre at best, and sometimes it's hard to even make things out.

All of the songs are fun though, especially the hip hop styled "No Love for the Roadie," and the new recorded songs show alotta promise.

A good CD to pick up for anyone that's a Catch 22 fan, but I have to give it a four out of five because of the poor quality on the new live tracks

This truly is a great CD, maybe not Catch 22's best, but still a great CDs.First of all, as for the live recording, live recording is hard, plain and simple. The live recording are bad quality because they were most likely not recorded with the best equipment possible. Keep in mind that Catch 22 is signed to Victory Records, not exactly what I would refer too as a "Major" record label. Second of all, skacore is good and so is ska, if you dont enjoy skacore, i wouldnt reccomend this cd because atleast half of it is skacore.

I respect Catch 22 a lot, they are one of my favorite bands and I believe the CD is good, but the quality on the live recordings could be A LOT better. Other than that the songs are great. I'd recommmend getting Keasbey Nights if you want to hear Catch 22 at it's best. Peace out. Enjoy your ska listening.

Keasby Knights was a great CD, but this one just isn't worth your money. There are one or too good songs on the CD, but the rest.... just save your money, and if your looking for a good CD buy Keasbey Nights to hear Catch 22 at its best.

this is not a very good catch 22 cd. the first 2 songs are ok, but catch 22 are capable of better songs. These songs on here would have been great for another band, but catch 22 can do better. The live songs sound like they would have been good, but the quality is terrible. there isn't much going on in these songs, just get keasbey nights.

When did Catch-22 turn into a skacore band? This is pathetic. The double-bass too-fast drums don't fit into any of the songs, which all seem to sound the same. Even the live tracks of classic songs from keasbey nights lack the old luster. Save your money. Get Keasbey Nights and/or Alone in a crowd

This is a very OK cd. I think if you like more punk/ska Alone In A Crowd and this one are for you. But if you like the more ska type stuff get Keasbey Nights, its Catch 22 at its best no matter what kind of ska you like.
