About this album
Catch Without Arms is the third album from the Los Gatos, CA rock band dredg , released on June 21, 2005. The album signifies a change to a simpler, and more straightforward musical style for the band.
Lead singer Gavin Hayes comments on his lyrical approach to this album, saying, “The whole underlying basis of the lyrics and the music is opposites, contrasts… I’d written some lyrics that are based around conversations or arguments, so we thought about a record with two halves that contrast each other. The whole basis of the record could be about objection to ideas, and contrast.”
The album was released with a booklet containing art created by dredg bassist, Drew Roulette and lead singer, Gavin Hayes. Initially there was an original painting created for each song and two others, a total of 14 paintings, in the Catch Without Arms Collection, which are available for purchase through the band’s website. These paintings, while abstract in nature, all contain elements directly and indirectly related to the song they portray. The artwork not only was an accompaniment to the album, but also the map to a treasure. Over several weeks, various clues were posted on the official dredg website that were meant to point users to a buried treasure of sorts. Once the treasure was found, another hunt began for the three people who found the original treasure.
Catch Without Arms was produced by Terry Date, who had produced multiple Soundgarden, Pantera, Deftones, and Limp Bizkit albums.

Meh, probably my least favorite dredg album. It was their experiment with more poppy radio-friendly stuff, and it didn't end up really sounding like them all that much. Has a couple really amazing songs though.

Great album, I love Hungover On A Tuesday. However, El Cielo is far beyond this one. Let's all hope the new one won't suck like the Zeitgeist fiasco.

I was a bit sceptical about this album at first, but when I really started to listen to it, it didn't take long for it to grow on me. My first impression was that this was too 'pop', as I was comparing it to El Cielo. But as I listened to it more, and got to know it better, I realised it's far from your usual pop music. There is a lot more to this album than meets the eye (or ear).
