Streetlight Manifesto - 99 Songs of Revolution Volume 1


Streetlight's album leaked and will be released tomorrow for real. This is volume 1 of 8 that will be released consisting of 99 cover songs. I normally hate ska, cover songs, and especially Streetlight Manifesto, but I'm really enjoying this whole thing. Good song selection and good covers.

6. "Linoleum" (originally by NOFX) – 2:44
7. "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard" (originally by Paul Simon) – 2:27
8. "They Provide the Paint for the Picture-Perfect Masterpiece That You Will Paint on the Insides of Your Eyelids" (originally by Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution) – 3:33
9. "Red Rubber Ball" (originally by The Cyrkle) – 2:49

    It's funny how I've been waiting for this album for so long that when it finally drops I no longer find it appealing at all.

    I found this album to just be bad.. especially for the amount of time and hype there was.

    Just ska-ified a whole bunch of songs that just make them sound awkward. Ska horns doing the opening for such great heights... I mean.. realllly?

    I don't know, I'm pretty biased from being a ridiculously huge ska fan, but I think they did an amazing job with all of the songs on there. For the ones I didn't think were equally as good as the covers, I thought they were better.
