Dinosaur Sounds represents Catch 22 finally growing out from under the shadow of former frontman Tomas Kalnoky. The album is a radical departure from previous work; while the band maintains its trademark aggression and inquisitive nature, the topics have steered back to rock and roll staples like relationship woes and alcohol, occasionally dabbling into the dark themes that made the band so distinctive compared to its ska contemporaries. "Beguile the Time" features a brief but powerful anti-war message, while "So Cold" sounds like a salvo being fired towards Kalnoky and his new outfit, Streetlight Manifesto.

[edit] Track listing

All songs by Catch Twenty-Two and Ryan Eldred except "Chin Up" by Pat Calpin, Catch Twenty-Two, and Ryan Eldred; and "Good Times" and "Regression" by Catch Twenty-Two, Pat Kays, and Ian McKenzie. It is significant to note that the last 5 tracks are mislabeled when played on a computer. The Interlude is labeled as So Cold, Regression as Chasing the Moon, Chasing the Moon as Lamont's Lament, and Lamont's Lament as Untitled Track. This is because "Good Times" was supposed to be a hidden track, but due to an error in mixing it was placed in the middle of the album.
