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. Former Queensrÿche guitarist Chris DeGarmo worked with the band on production and arrangement of the album. DeGarmo also shares writing credits on two tracks.

Ode To The Sun
dredg Lyrics
It's gone from light to gray
But I'll move those clouds away
Letting the sun shine through
In this ode to you
Let the demons have their place
If so it's angels you'll create
And disguised within the dark
Light will wait
My heart I owe you my soul
Will you please accept
Please accept this honor
This is all for you
Transcend
We flip towards the sun
Wheels skidding on the road
A flowing sea of red
The whole city groans
My heart I owe you my soul
Will you please accept
Please accept this honor
This is all for you
Transcend
Will you please accept
Please accept this honor
This is all for you
Transcend
Fiasco!
Rubberneck passing motorist
Mangled till cankerous
Repair this tattered skin
Hold it in your hand
You've already glistened through the window
You've already set us all free...free...free
Please accept
Please accept this honor
This is all for you
Transcend
Will you please accept
Please accept this honor
This is all for you
Transcend
Fiasco!

ODE TO THE SUN
It's gone from light to gray
But I'll move those clouds away
Letting the sun shine through
In this ode to you
Let the demons have their place
If so it's angels you'll create
And disguised within the dark
Light will wait
My heart, I owe you my soul
Will you please accept
Please accept this offer
This is all for you
Transcend
We flip towards the sun
Wheels skidding on the run
A flowing sea of red
The whole city grows
My heart, I owe you my soul
Will you please accept
Please accept this offer
This is all for you
Transcend
Will you please accept
Please accept this offer
This is all for you
Transcend
Fiasco
Rubberneck
Passing motorists
A mangled tuna-can-car rests
Repair this tattered skin
Hold it in your hand
You've already glistened through the window
You've already set us all
Free, free, free
Please accept
Please accept this offer
This is all for you
Transcend
Will you please accept
Please accept this offer
This is all for you
Transcend
Fiasco

One of the most underrated bands of all time...I remember this album dropped the exact same day as Demon Days by the Gorillaz which probably overshadowed its release.
Caveman Mf
This is the most underrated band, with the most underrated album. They will never get what they deserve. Jamais vu, and Bugeye are both perfect works.
Ernesto Staccolanana
you know, that's what happens... when you play catch without arms

they out out two pretty good records like 20 years ago.
I'd say they are rated just about right.
Direpig
Dang I didnt know that, but I love both bands

“And disguised within the dark, light will wait”
I got to see these guys live years ago. After the show was over Gavin literally just walked right up to me and my friends just as everyone was leaving from the side of the stage. He legit was interested in talking with his fans.
Me and my few friends got a chance to get pictures with him and talk with him for a good while before people started noticing it was him and crowded around us. I at least got to tell him his music got me through hard times and thank him before it got too crowded and left. Such a humble guy and also seemed like the quite type. Seems like he just wanted to talk with a few people because when it starts getting too crowded he started to withdraw a little bit.

That’s awesome.

Fifteen years on this and you’d never know it. Perfect .
Marco Hartmann
One of the best songs ever written <3
Memphis Reines
Wrong. One of the best bands Ever.
