Somewhere in the Between is the third studio album by American ska punk band Streetlight Manifesto. Somewhere in the Between was released on November 13, 2007; the band had been selling CD copies at one of their shows four days prior. In November and December 2007, the band went on a US tour alongside Suburban Legends and the Stitch Up. On November 26, an animated music video was released for "We Will Fall Together". A version of it had appeared online the previous of it, which was reported to be a rough cut. They ended the year supporting Less Than Jake on their headlining tour of Australia. Punknews.org ranked the album at number 19 on their list of the year's 20 best releases.
Ska has never really been my thing. Big band punk is such an peculiar, specific remit to hang a whole genre on. But even if I would not seek more of this out, it is clearly a cut above, in the composition and execution of the music and in the smart and well-constructed lyrics.
Hi yes I was in high school in 2007, too.
I'm always a sucker for raucous music with a horn section.
Never heard of these and Wiki said American punk ska. 3 words which I dreaded. Very surprised and really enjoyable.
I’d prefer vocals closer to Sublime than Green Day, but the vibe and songs are well constructed. The horn section, however, really elevates this. Fantastic sound, melodies and composing. Really enjoyable because of the brass.
Rating: 8/10 Best songs: We will fall together, Would you be impressed?, Watch it crash, The receiving end of it all
Some very good songs. Some average. But the whole is quite a Nice album
Ska punk. Me ha gustado bastante. Un 4. Casi vinilo.
Wasn’t looking forward to a ska punk album, but once I had this playing I enjoyed it a lot. Still not my preferred genre… and not experienced to know if this is the best-of-the-best of ska punk… but it was pretty fun!
This one was kinda fun for me.
This a good mix of ska and indie elements which I hadn't heard before. I am not a huge ska fan, but the added layer of orchestral voices to a standard indie mix made everything feel a bit richer and lively which was fun. Does fall into some of the repetitive melodies/rhythms of the genre, but still manages to make a name for itself in its short runtime.
I like ska, but mostly in small doses. It all kind of sounds the same to me. I like the horns in this. 3 stars.
I can do ska in small amounts. 44 minutes as a one-off today will be ok, but I wouldn't make a habit of it. 3/5. Update 20 minutes later: oh god, this really is a lot of ska. The rating stands, but any further ska will get a 1 or 2.
Brassy, energetic and well-played ska punk. The quality of the vocals is a bit irritating to me, but the lyrics are surprisingly thoughtful. Fave Songs: We Will Fall Together, Forty Days, Watch It Crash
This was pretty chill. Not the best ska style but not the worst. It was a decent album. Not a ton to say about it. Just some mid 00s vibe that some people probably loved. 6.1/10
I usually dislike ska punk, but enjoyed this. The emphasis is on the ska, rather than the punk, until the vocal kicks in. Reckon I'd REALY like an instumental version of this. Rating: 3 Playlist track: Down, Down, Down to Mephisto's Cafe. Date listened: 09/12/24
Nice and good but nothing special
Streetlight Manifesto are less obnoxious and better songwriters than most ska-punk/third wave ska bands, but it's still one of the least enjoyable genres of music for me.
Well, the rhythms are what it aims for... acceleration and that's what it causes, it's fine for those who like it, but to me it only seems like music to "jump" at parties with certain South American influences.
