Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good Sound, Less Impressive Lyrics
Permanent Revolution is...interesting. Musically, it's a notch above Dinosaur Sounds and a step in the right direction for the band. They seem to have come into their own and redefined their style, instead of just trying (and failing) to recreate the magic of Keasby Nights. If this had been a more...traditional...CD I'd have easily given it 5 stars.
However, Permanent Revolution is a concept album based on the life of Leon Trotsky, a Marxist politician in the early days of the Soviet ... Read More
Rating:  - Excellent.
What do you hear whenever someone talks about Catch 22? "It's not as good as it used to be." Frankly, I think their old stuff sucked, but that's beside point. Don't think about Tomas Kalnoky when you think of Catch 22--he's gone off to do his own thing. While Tomas Kalnoky went off to record exactly the same crap that he's been recording for the past 10 years, Catch 22 went from a bland, overly-staccato ska band with a whiney-sounding lead singer to a band of musical geniuses who aren't afraid ...

Rating: - Skapunk history lesson
Skapunkers Catch 22 are back with a concept album about the life and times of Leon Trotsky. It's a bizarre career turn for a band that's been accused of releasing flat and uncatchy albums of late. Instead of reminding fans why they should still care, Catch puts out a Noam-Chomsky-readin', Che-Guevara-shirt-wearin', oh-so-brainy history lesson set to music. The vocals are horrendous, but as far as concept albums on Leon Trotsky go, the music isn't bad. They pull it off with a good amount of upbeat ... Read More
Rating: - Good
Of course, its not as good as Keasbey Nights, but everyone needs to realize that they are way different now and will never sound like Keasbey Nights again. Definetly better than Dinosaur Sounds, but still not as good as Alone In a Crowd. Well I'll do the thing that a lot of other people do and rate each song.
1. Prologue- Very good opener, kinda decieving tho because it makes it seem like the cd will be very ska, but its not. (9/10)
2. The Spark (1902)- A very cool reggae song, but kinda ... Read More
Rating: - C22 finally develops their own sound
I had almost given up on Catch 22. I don't really need to go into the history of the band, suffice to say I thought Alone in a Crowd was merely an attempt to recreate the glory that was Keasby Nights, and Dinosaur Sounds was simply bad. Bafflingly bad. It seems the guys of C22 finally got the hint. Instead of trying to live up to the hype of "the band that released Keasby Nights" they finally take a bold step and try going in a new direction. That direction, much to my surprise, actually works.
