Dinosaur Sounds is a 2003 Catch 22 album and shows the band finally emerging from 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.

Track listing

All songs written and composed by Catch 22 and Ryan Eldred unless otherwise noted. 

It is significant that the last five 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"; "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.
