[QUOTE=Enishi;17965628]I'm not confusing them. Streetlight didn't start sounding like they should until Somewhere in the Between. I can't help but cringe at their remake of Keasbey Nights because it was just everything Catch wasn't. Catch had so much energy and soul in it and Streetlight stripped that away. It felt far too rushed and it was even admitted by Tomas that he didn't even want to do it. It was a huge disappointment and forgivable to a point. It doesn't make up for Everything Goes Numb's bad sound either.[/QUOTE] What? Catch 22 rushed all of Keasbey, the only song on it I prefer is Supernothing. Just compare the tempo, Streetlight made it so much cleaner, so much easier to hear and appreciate. Catch slips up a lot, and they're full of little mistakes. And you can't say they sound like they should when the composer/lead singer/lead guitarist hated the way it sounded in Catch, and made it the way he wanted it in Streetlight.

It's about high energy and having fun.
