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.
Never heard of these and Wiki said American punk ska. 3 words which I dreaded. Very surprised and really enjoyable.
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
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.
Nice and good but nothing special
